The Irish Solution to The Ben Lomond Problem 21-Sep-2017 At 9:25:41 PM ChuckNorris

Getting back to the original point the "Irish solution" was meant to resolve the so called tatt problem and the strict no bolt policy. Suggestions were made for a compromise but rejected and I won't lose sleep over that.

At the end of the day all that's been established is you can't have your cake and eat it. FFS if you locals are diligent in rewriting the guide, chopping tatt whenever it appears, reappears and rereappears etc ad infinitum, and getting everyone educated over the next 10 years about leaving a rap rope then go for it - whatever floats your boat - you might even succeed in the end.

Besides if you are that het up about the ugliness of tatt I totally disagree. Tatt reminds me of my youth when in spring I was full of virginal testosterone, the girls wore ribbons in their hair and the flickering sun shone through their light floral dresses.

I think of the girls every time I feel that self righteous anger welling up inside me. Maybe you should too.
