The assertion that Oasis gigs will contribute 940 million to the UK economy is questioned, suggesting money will be redirected rather than new funds injected. Residents like David Rennie express doubt about financial benefits from such events. Palestine Action faced allegations of causing 7 million in damage to RAF planes, with a humorous proposal for a cleaning business to address the situation. Discussions also feature lighthearted takes on bagpipes and a defense of their cultural significance at competitions.
The suggestion that the Oasis gigs will inject 940 million into the UK economy is the type of thing said about any big events, but I suspect that there is no injection, as it's not new money being created: people chose to spend their pre-existing cash on one thing instead of something else.
Palestine Action caused 7m of damage to two Voyager planes at RAF Brize Norton, leading to a humorous suggestion to offer a cleaning service to mitigate such costs.
In defense of the bagpipes, a letter suggests that the experience at mass bagpipe competitions in southern Brittany each summer is wonderful and should be experienced.
A comedic comparison about bagpipes humorously questions the common pain associated with the instrument: 'What's the difference between an onion and a set of bagpipes? Nobody cries when you chop up a set of bagpipes.'
