Not posted for a wee while. As Joanne said, Grandbairns and work, plus a two day bender with the Rugby.
The above pic? I live in West Edinburgh, and for many years I tactically voted "sob" LibDem until the Tory meltdown and I'm pretty sure many others did too.
Those voters will never come back to them now. Tainted.
No Hootsmons for a wee while either, once I could read a Maddox article and slightly exaggerate it; no more. Has it finally got through to them that all the SNP Accused headlines weren't doing quite the job they hoped? Perhaps. The election campaign hasn't really begun, there may be many more Hootsmons yet...
It has to be Lavish McTavish :-) I think the LibDems will find they're going nowhere now - they're only hope is a Con/LibDem coalition of sorts, or Party splits and reformations. At least you Scots have the SNP, the poor English mugs still can't seem to look further than the Lib/Lab/Con at the moment.
ReplyDeleteHi GV. It must be frustrating indeed. BNP lite or the Ecofascists...
ReplyDeleteSLAVISH is my fav.
ReplyDeleteRavish works too.
Knavish is a stretch.

ReplyDeleteso you was a closet Lib Dem then for fucks sake I had you down as a 'Hard Man' only hope your Dugs don't find out.
The shame of it all!
Conan up to all kinds of Libdemmery
Only tactically Niko.
ReplyDeleteHard? Well *you* can forget about that concept after the election :¬)
Paish, Old Bean.
ReplyDeleteNiko,
ReplyDeleteYour mob may well be trying to seduce the LibDems - which should not be too difficult - after the election with promises of ministerial cars. You could make a start by trying to seduce Conan? Tavish will have to change his name from Scott to North British in line with Labour policy.

ReplyDeleteNice article, thanks for the information
yeah when you gonna write another
Brownlie, seduced? By Niko...?
ReplyDeleteGrandbairns Niko. Grandbairns.
You'd need a straw to drink from the Lib Dem cup.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happened to Maddox; I heard he had been sent to London, probably the place he considers the "capital", but I never read his stuff or the Hootsman. I rely on you to reprint his stuff here so that I can keep up to date with what's going on in the real world of the Scotsman (printed in England).
I nearly vomited at the idea of "Ravish Tavish", as, only briefly, a horrible spectre appeared in my mind, involving Tavish and some island beauty, naked in the chill of a Shetland night.
Cabbage Tavish was the nearest I could come to a word that described him and more of less fitted with the rhyme. (Oh common, I came in late and all the good one were gone; Slavish was the best of them, I thought. Elmer Fudd’s slave?...paints a picture, doesn’t it?
Hawkish?
