Trump vs farmer

**gilmore** · 12th October 07, 04:27 PM

Tonight on ABC News there was a piece on a Scots farmer, Michael Forbes, whose home and farm are in the center of land Donald Trump would like to develop into a golf course on the North Sea. Forbes refuses to sell. He was wearing his blue and green tartan kilt throughout the piece with a white hair sporran with 3 tassels.

I think the world has enough golf courses. Stand firm Mr. Forbes.

So today (Tuesday) my wife & daughter were watching Family Feud on the telie (on our one channel) and the question was "Who is the most arrogant person you know"?
I kept yelling that #1 will be Trump, my family didn't think so, & the competitors on tv couldn't come up with the #1 answer.

Wanna' take a wild stab at what it was?
(yep, I was right )

*Sighs* Trump and his darn golf course again!
He wants to build it on a spot of significant natural importance, too.
People for it keep talking about the jobs it'll create, but not about the lives and livelihoods it will destroy.

Good on Mr. Forbes.

Trump tried to build here in Phoenix but the people spoke up and he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted. So he just moved on maybe that will be the case here. No more golf course, if it ruins lives.

Looks like Mr. Forbes is wearing his clan (Forbes) tartan, in what looks like the "ancient" hue. Hold fast Mr. Forbes. I think George Carlin's point of view on Golf Courses (do a Youtube search on "George Carlin Golf" and you'll find it) is a good one for this.

Back to the "Kilts in the Media" part - when they showed the family kitchen, wasn't Forbes' brother kilted as well?

Of the two bald guys, I'm rooting for the one with the better fashion sense.
(If you can't tell, he's the one with the pelt on his sporran, and not on his head.)
