RJHowie ...

I'd suggest at least when stating opinions, to make them somewhat readable. At first I thought you were speaking in scots, but then I realised scots has some kind of form and structure to it. Whereas yours reads like you've had one too many whiskeys.

I must say on the point about capitalism, I will quite gladly say I'm a card carrying socialist (NOT COMMUNIST), however contrary to popular and widely mistaken belief, socialists are not anti-capitalist, we believe the free market has an essential place within society, however it has it's limits, those limits being public utilities, healthcare and Transport.

I must say generally I admire Scottish politics they tend to be a pretty well informed, determined and impassioned bunch, however you seem to be the exception to that rule.

Well I do have to say PFX that is making me laugh at your rather negative attitude and especially where you come from dear man. It can make one look rather snooty if you do not go along with a wee clique style eh?? I would enhance that folks by saying that an emigre from here had a rather snooty attitude in a forum elsewhere but the general thing is that if one does not go automatically along with the clique attitude then you are sniffed at and get a label! For someone like myself who has held important public office been interviewed on radio, written about in a whole book chapter I can smile at your wee corner here! Would add PFX that considering the long slog on my over the water project and covering a rail part you are very keen on one might have been supported by you.

May I passingly comment to you dear klambert that it is rather amusing that someone south of the border makes a comment about whether we are capable or not up here when you think the negatives you sneaked in are general down south. Tut, tut.

Earlier it was mentioned when I reminded of the cast increase in GB train users it was mentioned that the population is greater. Following that thinking style may I say with thousands of less rail tracks than years ago we are still doing well and maybe have been even greater had those politicians yakking about BR attitudes. Oh and before i finish I have two giant Trainz projects namely the Glasgow Tramway with 120 miles closed back in 1962 and a rather ambitious rail project over the Irish sea. When they eventually get put up it will be interesting to see of any balanced reports for a change (!) :D

I will admit this line cracked me up :lol:

And what an honour it is for you deign to pass our 'wee corner', and state your judgements on here, you must do the tory party proud, may I add that Katie Price has too been interviewed and had chapters written about her, ... Although for all your talk of social importance, you seem to be able to spend an awful lot of time on here.

My apologies if I've come across a tad patronising, as that's not what I intended, however I do believe what you've identified is a case of your own psychological projection, coming straight from your own cognitive bias against us down south. I suppose being a tory you will have a strong strain of egocentric insularism in which you base your entire beliefs around, you're no different to the Tories down south.

No doubt you'll be telling all your friend, over a bottle of whiskey how you showed us lefty socialist lot, simply with your untamed wit and stinging remarks. St Andrews Rifles indeed. :lol:

I too have been interviewed & written about in the media on numerous occasions, but I don't push these facts in order to
make myself look more important or knowledgable than the people I converse with. :roll:

I'm not even going to attempt to discuss the topic of the thread as it is now so far diverted but, since you don't have respect for anyone but yourself, I'm not going to be reasonably polite anymore. Mods, if you wish to take action against me for this, I am happy for you to do so as I'll probably break at least one of the CoC.

So please enlighten me Bobby, what does my attitude have to do where I come from? I make no secret that I'm originally from Scotland and now live in Ireland (both north and south at various times), yet it seems to cause you some distress. I believe you live somewhere around the turn of the 19th century but I don't make assumptions about your behaviour on that basis.

I'm sure you fail to see the hypocrisy in calling me "rather snooty" while taking the time to write an entire paragraph telling me off about my attitude and simultaneously failing to see your own, frankly appalling one, when it comes to engaging in discourse. You go on to tell us all (for the nth time) about how you held public office, have been interviewed on radio and had a chapter written about you in a book. How snooty, no, how grossly arrogant of you! I'm just surprised you forgot to tell us you'd been a ticket clerk, therefore have a thoroughly in-depth knowledge on the running of British Railways.

As for the "forum elsewhere", I'll clarify for those who don't know. It is of course the N3V forum but I think you've mistaken the term "snooty" with me taking issue with some comments I perceived to be sectarian and racist. You did this again recently when you displayed a distinctly parochial and strangely xenophobic opinion about 'SHOCK, HORROR' Gaelic being used on railway signs. Again, I realise you're blind to your own failings so no point going over this old ground again.

I mustn't forget about your 'massive project' though must I? If you've mentioned it once, you've mentioned it a dozen times and make frequent, needy posts about how you are doing a 'massive project' based on NIR and Iarnród Éireann (that's Irish by the way - ear-an-rod air-an if you want to try pronouncing it in a horrible foreign language). Nobody else is working on a route in another country so I suppose you are most deserving of adulation for your herculean efforts. By the way, I've forgotten, are you doing a 'massive project'? I'm sure you've mentioned something along those lines before.

In answer to your question as to why I am not supportive of your 'massive project', it's because I find you obnoxious, condescending, arrogant, patronising, insular, suffering from a superiority complex, and generally offensive. I'm sorry, but none of those are qualities I would look for in someone I'd be supportive of.

Finally, almost, as if there is any more evidence needed of your total lack of self-awareness, you post a vague paragraph about the actual subject of this thread after patronising others. Well done on attempting to get things back on topic. You should be congratulated for that at least.

Strange though isn't it, that about this time last year you posted this -

"I think it was really very one sided that a recent contribution to a now closed thread was not allowed here for people to judge not the matter of control. This thread I have written is NOT an excuse for anything bias to be made against me. Neither am I re-birthing the content as it is obvious the way this site is run. So shortly I will as I said leave here and not be surfing in for a look as I don't need it for my hobby. Perhaps if readers had been allowed to see what I finally concluded they would have been able to get a wider thing. Nothing in this thread is objectionable in wide principle and disappointed at the way things dealt with. So no-one start going back the way again as even getting here will be hopeless!"

Yet here we are...

Cheers,
Innis

Oh dear that description of me is even allowing for my straightness a very arrogan stance from you Innis! Leaving aside satire or directness you are being very pompous and over the proverbial top yourself. I was of the understanding that you were from the same part of the UK as myself previously before moving across to where I will be visiting shortly. On the other site ages ago you and an associate (whom I guessed unwell and had produced much great stuff) were very hard on a subject that was not Trainz but in a general section. Indeed the other was so despicable that there was a comment from a reader on the nonsense expounded by him so don't stick all those stupid descriptions of me here. I even complemented you recently on doing the 18 station name signs on the southern part of the Enterprise express route as I have all those stations done but you ignored it so don't you damn well think you are something more than you are and sniff down your nose.

I dare say this long project I have and if get it done (quite a challenge) you will be able to download of course but shoosh don't tell me as you would not want to lower your unfortunate silly and arrogant attitude. Imagine stretching to acknowledging the largest effort done for over the Irish Sea! Anyway you and the other previous supporter on this thread can sigh as I am going off from this corner of the Trainz world and giving no further info on progress but my route when eventually downloaded will included those being hypocritical and smug. :lol:
