There are no words...

From today's Hardup...

Thank you picture editor

at The Skintsman for providing us with the perfect caption opportunity...

Thank Christ- a republican yin to the royalist yang

Oh Christ...

you do realise the republican project is  fucked?

Presentation is everything, until it's not...

Minister Keith Brown was called upon to issue his annual warning yesterday on the need to prepare for winter. Keith's press officer obviously thought it would be great if Keith deliver his homily while dressed AS IF IT WERE COLD! See what they did there? No, me neither.
 It wouldn't surprise me to hear that Keith needed treatment for heat exhaustion on what was a pretty balmy Edinburgh day.
 Using the logic that presentation influences the reception of the message, we may look forward to Keith warning of a hot summer ahead, standing in a freezing March gale, wearing bermudas oot of Primark,, sun block and a sombrero.

"Naw, really ah'm dead cold staunin' here, nae guising..."

What could possibly go right? (From The BBC sort of...)

Fish, shooting, in a barrel like...

No, honestly I;'m fine, I've just got something in my eye...

Watched the documentary on Nic Jones the other night. If you know his back story you'll now why he's uniquely qualified to gently instruct the rest of us on the absolute necessity to try and live in the now.
 I don't know what is is, but I've got this terrible lump in my throat at the moment...

7 day NHS- but who will think of the children?

no one, if this slightly improved story from The Skintsman is to be believed...

SSE-the real reason for that price hike, just in time for winter, the bastards...

And this just in...

Reports that continuing confusion over the identity of the new Scottish Secretary has reached the highest levels of government.

Farewell then Michael, we hardly knew you...

No, really, we had no idea who you were supposed to be...

I wonder what Michelle's doing these days?

Oh, right...

And lo...

it came to pass, thanks to the chimpanzees that run the captions software on Reporting Scotland, BBC Scotland's leaking tugboat news show, that Roy Hodgson was transformed into a beautiful stained-glass window... Give me an amen.

New look "police stations nearly according to The Skintsman
