I call this hairstyle "the wrap around." It can get very interesting when the wind hits it

You would think Trump had enough financial assets in the States to keep him busy. Greed is always an ugly thing that negatively affects whoever it touches, to include its source.

Hi
I lived in Scotalnd for a year in the town of Greenock. I am from France and I live now in Paris. I heard about the story watching CNN, and I really want to do something about it. The land Trump wants to buy is awesome, but this is why he shoudn't have it and that Forbes property is like a beacon against greed. I play golf myself and I hit off the tee in Greenock for the first time. Now building a private and select golf course along the fabulous shore north of Aberdeen is absolutely crap! As Gordon Legge put it 'playing golf will ruin a good walk'. And this piece of land should belong to nature and lovers not to corporate world and posh gentry.

And I couldn't agree with you more.

I just shaved my head and gave up my hair after struggling with rapid, ridiculous balding from the age of 15 to 21.

Now I headbutt doors into splinters with my shiny chrome dome. ^_^ j/k

Well I don't know how Trump's fight with the farmer is going but he just won preliminary approval from the local planning commission by a vote of 7 to 4. The Council takes it up next week.

Even if the Council confirms last night's planning committee vote when it meets next week, it is likely that the matter will be called in by the Scottish Office as being a matter of national rather than local importance, in which case a Reporter will be appointed to hold a full public inquiry and make his recommendations to the appropriate Minister of the Scottish Parliament.

Thanks for the laugh! I really needed that with the frenetic day I'm having.

Let's hope so.

I am confused. I agree that trump comes across as a jerk but isn't he just offering to buy and develope and maintain a piece of land? Would it not be the government in the UK that takes the land away from the farmer if they like what Trump would use it for more than what the farmer would use it for?
I hope the farmer keeps his land, but it sounds like the Government is more of the bad guy rather than Trump if the land gets stolen away from the farmer.
