For those not acquainted with Scottish daily papers, the Scotsman used to be affectionally known as the Hootsmon until it became a totally unionist newspaper.

My thanks to the lovely Pseudepigrapha - humbug. Oh, what an evil thing is the ugly green monster - no offence, Conan!
How ironical that one of the biggest trough snuffler is complaining about wasting tax-payers' money. The expression "waste of space" fits him like a glove but unfortunately it's a bloody expensive waste of space. He's an outstanding example of what can be achieved in the Labour party if you have a brass neck and a long, indiscriminate, tongue.

One of so very many, though.
Thanks for that oh gorgeous one.
I mindo the days when the Hootsman had guts - it was a 'provincial' paper but it had international attitudes. Those days are gone, the Jinglin Geordie's bar in Fleshmarket Close is a shadow.
You're becoming very Dickens-like with your humbug expression brownlie. :)
Foulkes isn't capable of any positive thinking so at his age os FOI's are his way of earning his salary.
And a massive capacity for 'highland water' OR.
Aye Jim, I remember ordering the Scotsman when I worked abroad because the content was a true summary of Scotland (at least the east).
Fleshmarket Close? Jings that wis a few years back surely.
No offence taken brownlie, but I do hope Jim is talking about subrosa:¬)
Jinglin' Geordie's was a hingoot of mine back in the seventies, I always wanted to nick the rifle over the bar but never got the opportunity...
Place is full of beggars and Rankin fans these days.
Thanks for pushing my blog subrosa xxx
Conan, I don't post your Hootsmon Headlines to push your blog, I post them because I think they're great. If you get a few hits because of that then they're very well deserved. xxx (that'll get some talking)
Conan,
I went to the school, I mean I was sent to the school. Hodwgie think I feel?
Oh, it wasn't that bad I suppose, we had some excellent teachers.
No.
No, I shall take no more. These evil thugs must be stopped. We cannot wait another year, we cannot lose more brave people. We couldn't afford to lose those we have lost already.
What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by law...
I'm going to do what I can.
SR,
Thx for that much needed fun in an otherwise dull trip back to the UK.
He needs locking up the cock.

Anytime young man. Just let me know you need a smile ...
