My view is that any disruption, for staging such a worldwide event is worthwhile, and we will lose out by not staging the show next year. What it does show is the counties ability to stage large events, and hopefully we can attract more for the future.

I often think that Neanderthals didn't all die out, they just moved to Langham lardboy Level 1 Member 7 Posts Posted - 12 March 2002 :  10:35:54         That's a silly thing to say. Some people don't know anything about Rutland. lardboy Level 1 Member 7 Posts Posted - 18 March 2002 :  09:40:02         Perhaps I should make myself clear. I am at that stage in life when youth has been left behind and middleaged is what most people would call me. By now it is apparent to all that I have no discernable talent whatsoever apart from one for irritating the majority of people I meet. However, I bitterly resent any imputation that that is why I can only earn 10K a year when the average male earnings are double that nationally, and considerably higher for this area. If the truth be known I am the victim of a conspiracy of freemasons and the old school tie brigade, who no doubt are doing the jobs and earning the money I am rightfully entitled to. The fact that these people went to the same school as me has nothing to do with it, no more than the fact that I am a complete t****. So there! Now do you understand Baboon? lardboy Level 1 Member 29 Posts Posted - 22 March 2002 :  10:30:11         I can understand the reason for that. Wouldn't it be a shame if dereliction set in along the retail premises along the High St. From knowing many of the traders in Oakham, it is a very tough environment to stay in business. Have you ever noticed that a majority of new retail businesses set up in Oakham close after six months? lardboy Advanced Member 1604 Posts Posted - 20 October 2005 :  11:33:37         I believe very strongly that wherever you are living in the United Kingdom or even Europe as a whole, if you leave school at sixteen then dead-end factory jobs are all you can look forward to. If that doesn't suit your expectations then get back in education RIGHT NOW.
