Hyperbole + bollocks = hyperbollocks

some people will do owt to get their name in print
“It was a near-death experience. I told my kids that I may not have come home that night. It was a close one. I thought I was dead.”
Just the sort of thing to tell your kids that :rolleyes::(
Divine justice!
ydt
show a bit of repect for the poor tractor that has gone to the great garage in the sky. maybe Mr Weir can hold a candle lit service for it at the mines, entrace fee £5;o)
You would think with a name like Weir he would be at home in the water.
Weir oh!
I always thought it was Weird
It's Mark, not Mike.
I should know as I had a limited edition (of one) t-shirt made up after the 2008 OMM with his comment printed on the back.
Also, if you say 'Mike Weir' it can sound like 'My Queer', of which he certainly is not.
I wish I could have been up stream, I would have pee'd my hardest.
His karma is chasing him...helicopter indeed!!!
must have parked that in a safe place though!Quote:

Well said mate, he's not a serial killer or a paedophile or a traffic warden;)Quote:

As for your other observation, it never occured to me.
Nice thoughts CCR but wasted on this chap. He does not give two hoots about the area he live's in, just his self centered belief's.Quote:

I agree. He is guilty of nothing more than being a shameless self publicist, which for a successful businessman (which he undeniably is) must be pretty common. He was in this case attempting to get to the pumping station to restart the water supply, which had he not had his little adventure could have been fairly selfless act of public spiritness. In the actual event, it became another excuse for media exposure, albeit on a pretty local scale. His comments re the OMM likewise served to help publicise the event (no such thing as bad publicity blah blah), whilst putting off nobody who was serious enough to give it a go. Give the guy a break!
Not easy sometimes, but the right thing to do, clearly put Mud;)Quote:

If this is right, you'd have thought he would have said so to Border TV, instead of looking a bit daft. Mind that could be just the way the report was put together.
Well, that's what it said in the local paper...not always a paragon of accurate journalism, granted.Quote:
