Review of a year like no other

in that 2014 as a year is historically unique. As will 2015 be and so on and so forth...

January

There's no easy way to say this, so let's just get it out there: Michaela likes black cock.

While watching

the BBC's broadcast from The Cairngorms in search of innocent diversion, I was shocked, shocked, upset and distressed to hear Winterwatch's Michaela Strachan make an very off colour comment on air. I was so shocked and distressed that I had to go to i-player and play the clip again with the subs on.

I've a good mind to put my foot through the universe and send the BBC the  bill.
Intriguingly, her co-presenter's remark:"We promise you black cock on the internet" went untitled, but you can run the show on i-player and play it at about 5 minutes in so you can be as disgusted as I was.
What a blind person just listening in would've made of this filth doesn't bear thinking about...

Our thoughts are with any distressed blind people at this difficult time and our hearts go out to them.

Year of revelations for Jim Murphy

The new Labour leader in Scotland, Jim Murphy, spoke exclusively to The JT this week, revealing how this year has been one of personal revelations. Pausing only to adjust his Celtic top Mr Murphy said:"Apparently there's this philosophy called socialism that people in The Labour Party used to espouse. Its all about the working class controlling the means of production so I would like to put it on record that I'm definitely a socialist." 

It remains now only for Mr Murphy to slightly tweak the central tenets of the ideology to bring them into line with his personal political beliefs. "As a long term supporter of nuclear arms I will now reframe my position to state that workers should control the means of mass destruction, with the workers in this instance being the military and the US arms industry."

Transport Minister Derek Mackay has inspected preparations to deal with winter weather as snow, ice and strong winds affected Scotland. 

Mr Mackay, who, if his Wikipedia entry is to be believed, has never had a job outside politics, told The JT:"I've inspected the gritting lorries and they all to contain a load of  this grit stuff and the required number of wheels necessary to propel the vehicle forward in a controlled and efficient manner."

It is thought that the road maintenance staff will visit Holyrood later this week to "inspect" the efficacy of the democratic process and sign off on it.

Kenny Mackaskill to sue BT

Government minister Kenny Mackaskill is to sue BT over loss of service on both his landline and mobile. 
He told The JT: "I've been waiting by the phone  to hear what job Nicola is offering me in the new cabinet but the phone hasn't rung once." 
Mr Mackaskill reckons the line has quite an unusual fault because there is a dialtone, "and it seems it only effects incoming calls from Nicola. I got several calls from journalists asking me to comment on being fired from the Cabinet, I don't know how these ridiculous rumours get started and I'll certainly set the journalists straight once I talked to Nicola, although she seems to be very busy because every time I try to call her, she's out."

While Mr Mackaskill waits to find out if he's to remain as Justice Minister or possibly move to a new, more senior position its very much business as usual. 
In that curious speak -your- weight monotone he affects, Mr Mackaskill said:" I will continue to discharge the duties of my post especially in tooling up the police with 9mm pistols and ensuring that corroboration is done away with allowing our boys in blue to convict more criminals who are probably guilty as hell anyway."
As we made our excuses and left Mr Mackaskill took to  shaking his mobile and shouting "Hello? Hello!" at random intervals into the mike.

"Ring you bastard,ring."

Thank you, thank you, he'll be here all week...

Let me hear an amen-from The Skintsman

Jim Murphy resigns to campaign and possibly re-train...

Jim Murphy has resigned his shadow cabinet role to campaign for the post of Labour leader in Scotland. He told The JT :" Yeh the thing is right, it looks like my Westminster seat might be on a shoogly nail so I'm looking for an exit strategy."

It is understood that Mr Murphy is concerned that if he fails to become Scottish leader, he loss of his East Renfrewshire seat might result in him having no money. 
" I might have to rethink my career, possibly I'd need to re-train or look for a new field of work." 
Mr Murphy did ask if there were any jobs going at The JT but backed off when told of the salary and the hours- both with a null value.

Yes, this photo from The BBC definitely needs an edit...

Miliband due at Scots Labour dinner

Labour's UK leader Ed Miliband will attend a gala dinner in Glasgow as the process of finding a new Scottish leader continues.

From The BBC

Several likely candidates have ruled themselves out of the running to replace Johann Lamont as the new leader of the Scottish Labour Party.

MSPs Kezia Dugdale and Jenny Marra have said they will not stand in the leadership contest. 

The potential candidates told The JT that the leadership role did not appeal because they were both looking for a position with more job security, perhaps running a salad bar in Texas or testing parachutes bought out of Poundland...

So farewell then Johann, we hardly knew you...

No, seriously, who were you meant to be again?

"These are your orders for the coming year. Don't fuck it up, right?"

New era dawns at Holyrood as Ms Sturgeon advises other party leaders on the need to gie them sells a guid shake...

First Minister elect Ms Nicola Sturgeon told The JT today that a new era was dawning at Holyrood.
She said:" With women heading all three major parties in the parliament, I foresee a novel, different feel to how we conduct our political life." 
Ms Sturgeon pledged to work constructively withe the women leading the other two parties. 

Of Labour's Johann Lamont Ms Sturgeon said:" Let's be honest, Johann's nae oil painting, talk about a bulldog chewing a wasp, but I will make every effort to work positively with her on issues of joint importance- how to stop her coupon souring milk for example."

Of the Conservatives' Ruth Davidson, Ms Sturgeon remarked:"She's a nice enough woman I suppose but Christ, she needs to get some beef aff that arse of hers. Have you seen it? Her left and right arse cheeks must be in different time zones."
As of Monday next it will be illegal to possess or pass on images of Helen Bonham Carter in that Tim Burton rotten remake of Planet of The Apes, just in case people look at the picture and go "Fuckin' hell! Look who it is!"

Dutch rail group delighted to find out they've won something

 A spokesdutchieonthelefthandside for Dutch rail group Abellio expressed delight today on being informed that the company had won the contract to run Scottish trains. 
The spokesetc commented:"For real? We won?. What is it were are winning?"

It is understood that the company's bid team had got a bit baked prior to the final bid being submitted, and the last thing the team remember is firing up another fat boy and chilling out to some cool jazz.
The company's plan for Scottish trains include new rolling stock, mainly Rizlas...

A bus and a tram have collided during the rush hour in Edinburgh.

The accident happened on West Maitland Street at about 07:45. Both vehicles were travelling east towards Princes Street. A spokescmongetaff told The JT, "In all our years of scenario planning never did we imagine that a tram could collide with a vehicle that's not a tram. How weird is that?"
