I must be getting old – Frank Spencer has fairly aged!
Wow! Well that’s me convinced then.thats my aspiration, I wanna be just like that!:)
Pity you already used the Operation Yewtree joke.
I thought he was trying to hitchhike, and the next photo made me wonder who was flytipping in the Borders.
Hahahahaha!!! 🙂
Whoever that guy is,he has a brilliant sense of humour.
Give him a show beeb…got to be better than Rory’s “Mid,mud,dleland”.
There must be a SLAB joke in there somewhere
Dear God, is Max on day release or something. Travelling from Shropshire with his pet slab? How many buses did it take for Max to get to Gretna?
They will leave no stone unturned.
Sunday Herald, ”hot seat” interview with Stuart Campbell
Let’s hope it becomes a memorial to The Union.

i dont mind guys like this. its a genuine plea, emotional but honest. its those scottish labour lying smearing cheating thieving so an sos that have tried desperately to turn the debate toxic i would like to see held to account and exposed.
That reminds me . I’m going to see Monty Python tomorrow.
And the other ”hot seat” interview, Jerzeena LOL
Click here for more? So much less.
Rock on!
Laughing my socks off at the website ” 3 posts – 6 followers” ! Just about sums up the support!
Is that the white spray paint left over from the recent footie thingy?
OBE Mac – finally exposed. (Not in the Biblical sense, of course).
The press will hammer you for laughing at the poor wee craiters. Ye coorse loon.

Oh bejeebus I thought this was a spoof!
Is that Instagram page a spoof, or is it for real? I genuinely can’t tell…
My wife just said his trouser legs look like they stop at the knees and are held up by string.
Ah bless. Is this really genuine?
I second Findlay above. Assuming that Max is genuine, at least he is making some effort to persuade Scotland to stay in the UK, and he is being polite about it.
David Cameron, on the other hand, is not lifting a finger, let alone a stone, to retain the union. So yes, Cameron doesn’t have the stones for it!
See what they’re making the unemployed down south do for their sins
“Max arrives all the way from Shropshire with his stone”
Och, the wee soul…
Slightly OT: There was a boy in our village who had an accident involving a bike, a quick stop, and the handlebars. He went for an operation to remove a ruptured something and afterwards we all called him ’14 pun’ – (work it out).
Last time I saw a raincoat like that it was on Columbo.
I don’t think he’s trying to build a cairn.
I think he wants to build a Maes Howe.
Lets make sure it’s the union that’s buried in it.
Grouse Beater
The last time anyone seen a raincoat like that they phoned the cops.
Still say Max is a comedy genious.
Over the last 3 & 1/2 years, Rory Stewart MP has made ….. drum roll …… 1 tweet.
Have someone send him an email & tell him he’s allowed to send as many as he wants.
http://instagram.com/p/qod_WEQy14/?modal=true
What are they doing here, checking for body-odour?
This is the ‘build up’ to tomorrows, er, main event.
I think most people would have spent their time in London protesting at a different injustice.
@ Colin
“My wife just said his trouser legs look like they stop at the knees and are held up by string.”
An ideal pal for Rory then; shortly after his election in 2010 he apologized to his new constituents after being quoted as saying that “Some areas around here are pretty primitive, people holding up their trousers with bits of twine.”
(According to Wikipedia.)
G H Graham
Are you sure it was him.
Maybe he was just activating it and sits feeding it bird seed wondering why nobody contacts him.
Where does this photo come from Rev? I feel a bit uncomfortable mocking this.
If this isn’t one of those ‘and finally’ pieces in disguise,why bring the slab all the way from Shropshire,should just have picked up a local rock lol.
It says something when stuff like this looks like a spoof or is impossible to tell the difference !
Wouldn’t it be nice after a Yes Vote if Scots turned this stuff on its head and built “friendship” cairns ?
A central cairn somewhere could be built at a suitable location with the slogan,
Politically independent, publically interdependent.
It’s one that Rory uploaded to show the level of enthusiasm for his cairn project. Which seems to make it fair game.
GH Graham – wrong Rory Stewart. He’s tweeted a lot more than once: https://twitter.com/RoryStewartUK
See when we do the demo at PQ.Can we have a placard asking for more “Glasgow Girls” type productions?

This made me chuckle !
It reminded me of the prank on “Off Their Rockers” (a show where pensioners play practical jokes on members of the public) when an old guy asks 2 youngsters how to send an email as he is having trouble folding his letter to get it into his phone to send it…the reactions are brilliant, well worth a peek.
So then, Rider000, ‘millionaire from Shropshire’, that’s been trolling against Scottish independence all over the internet, especially at the Guardian CIF section, has been exposed at last as ‘Max’… Fantastic news!
Could the ‘Max’ in the photo be Max Hastings? According to Rory Stewart’s blog “Last weekend, we were getting stones and support from local dairy farmers. Yesterday, it was soldiers…. Today, it was historians and writers – Simon Schama, David Starkey, Alain de Botton, and Max Hastings.”
From http://www.rorystewart.co.uk/sunday-20-july-come-laying-foundation-stone-auld-acquaintance/
Oh heavens, what a thought!
That last comment was about the Rider000 suggestion, by the way.

A smile is a vote on the doorsteps.

You know as well as I do that rideroo,jmobe and the rest are Johnston press employees.
They are breaking the law but the PCC won’t investigate until Levenson is finalised..sometime after the ref funnily enough.
I just noticed the funding for Rory’s cairn is fast catching up on the funding for the Margomobile. I think the latter needs a bit of a boost, guys.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/margo-mobile
geeo honey – our revolution is the friendliest ever, we’ve promised not to bayonet the losers – it’s going to cost us a fortune in Earl Grey and cup cakes but so what.
I think I know him, though he normally parts his hair on the other side. 🙂
I suppose the thing about the cairn, unlike the Hadrian’s wall stunt or the hiking idea, is that it can still be completed even if bugger-all people actually get involved. The thing can get built perfectly well by Rory and his mates, and the people they pay to build it, just as much as if thousands of people showed up to lay a single stone each.
They don’t even have to have a picture of a lot of people all there at the same time, and it’s probably not impossible to stage something for tomorrow.
More astroturf, I suspect.
Lesley-Anne has already convinced all the stones on site to vote yes.
I know its OT but check out the comments of Mr OBE on this.
http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/hammond-the-worlds-eyes-are-on-russia.1405778790
It realy is sick to use the deaths of over 290 people and 80 odd of those were kids to score some cheap political points.

Did you not read the recent press release saying that a new,radioactive,rock eating bug has been discovered in Dalgety Bay?
Apparently a tourist who went paddling there,inadvertently,carried it to the Borders.
Among the list of Funders is one coco.ferguson, with a substantial donation of £5,000. Now, there is a person named Coco Ferguson who has Rory Stewart on their Twitter list. A quick Google finds this Coco Ferguson:
Maris Capital: Our team
Cornelie Ferguson Founding Partner
Cornelie Ferguson co-founded Maris Capital in 2008 and is involved in sourcing and managing investments in Southern Africa and South Sudan. Prior to Maris Capital, Coco was Director for Programmes at the Institute for Philanthropy. Before joining the Institute in 2005, Coco studied Persian and for a masters in International Politics from the School of International Relations, Tehran. She has a degree in Classics from Magdalen College, Oxford and is on the board of Bidoun.
Blimey! Aren’t venture capitalists supposed to bet on, sorry, ‘focus on long-term gains’ when throwing their money around? And since when did Scotland/UK move to Africa?
Most likely helping an old Tory pal out in desperate times, as in, “Ye gods, Rory old fruit, a bit embarrassing, what? Here’s some dosh to make the amount raised look somewhat less embarrassing than it is. And, heh, um, good luck!”
Disclaimer: The person who donated the £5,000 might not be the same Coco Ferguson as mentioned above and may be someone using coco.ferguson as a pseudonym.
Listened to R4s re-imagining of Scotts ‘Red Gauntlet’ earlier on.
Set post Yes twenty years hence, there’s border patrols with drones, and tales of women beaten for having English fathered children. All very apocalyptic, and absolutely taking the racist pish.
Sat open mouthed listening, & wondering if it’s someones idea of a ‘joke’. The ‘blood and soil’ variety of humour obvs.

Sunday Herald front page anyone?
What else can I say than, “Rock on, Bobby”.
Let us hope that when Tory Rory places the last stone on top of his harmless cairn he remembers to take his fingers off the edges before it meets the other stones.
Mind you if, “The Stones”, are going to be there it might by a good musical rave.
@Rookiescot
Mr OBE appears to be in a loop, you can plainly see the spittle coming out of his posts.
Defo
I’m surprised “MacBeth” isn’t on every stage and screen as a warning that we’re “Too Wee,Too Poor and Too Stupid” to look after our own affairs without an omnipotent being(Westminster)to guide us.
@Rookiescot,
Leave Mr OBE alone – he goes unmoderated it would seem. So everyone gets to see the type of person that he is and the message that he peddles. Trust me – he is helping us more than we could ever believe with his anti SNP/Salmond ranting across endless threads.
The one thing that readers are picking up is just how prolific he is – look at his avatar – he hardly looks like a sensible retired gentleman now does he?
Mr. OBE isn’t doing himself any favours. Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.
Rookiescot.
John OBE is certifiable. Like all unitrolls, it’s best not to engage with him. Nothing to gain, apart from a sore head, and a bad temper.
I’ve no idea how heedtracker stays sane, messing with that ‘slovenian’ bint.

Hey! Guys – is bricking a Cairn anything like bricking a camel but with two very small bricks?
Wow, that demonstration has left me wi a lump in ma throat. Thats just a bigger advertisement for yes.
It’s hard to tell who had the least on show, it was either the lack of stones at Gretna or the Saltire free zone at the BBC concert at Edinburgh Castle.
Did anyone spot a Scottish flag at the Castle?
And what did Max do with his stone?
@ PaulaRose naw am no its Gerry Parker thats oor Chef,noo you wuldna want tae cause disruption in oor ranks
Guys
Just remind jmobe that his career was in sewage and that old habits diehard.
If that fails,email the editor stating you saved all comments from said respondent and you’re seeing a lawyer.
Always worked for me,just run out of emails to counteract the sods now.
Anyone got a new source of addresses other than the SPs and Google?
That 2nd photo is a pile of Scree fae Scarfell Pike, ah hope Rory hud permission tae take that. ? if people are suppying the stones how come its costing so much, Is Rory the Clerk of Works.
@Paula Rose.
Alistair Darling has just read your Earl Grey Tea post and is going to issue a statement declaring that an independent Scotland will go bust in a month because of your “vanity” projects and irresponsible cake policy!

I think you are being a bit harsh on poor Columbo. At least he is doing something to try to keep UK together unlike his Scottish supporters.
Most No folk I know are sitting doing nothing, slaggIng of Alex Salmond and hoping the polls hold up. This is one of our major benefits as we have a positive grassroots campaign which can overtake these lazy morons. They are doing absolutely nothing – amazing how complacent they are!
On a positive note, we drove up to Glen Coe and back today and the road had loads of Saltires Flags out, Saltires and Yes stickers on lots of road signs, some houses covered in flags and Yes stuff.
However, my favourite was a big Saltire on a raft in the middle of Loch Lubnaig. It was just brilliant.
Always amazes me how creative Yessers are!
I think this is your man, Max Hora. It’s on the sign if you zoom in. Image search looks to be the same guy. He’s a bit of a character, obsessed with The Prisoner.

Have just watched the Glasgow Girls. Jack McConnell doesn’t come out of it well at all. The word wanker springs to mind. I bet Greg Hemphill loved playing him.
Having listened to the excellent Jeane Freeman (a senior assistant to Jack when he was first minister)explain that her journey to YES was initiated by the complete inability of Scotland to do anything about this sort of stuff and Dungavel I think there was a lot of truth in that little film.
An interesting thing about the Glasgow Girls effect is what it has done to Glasgow sentiment. Paint a picture of a community that gets a positive reputation for that community and the community becomes the picture

Had a gent come into our YES ship yesterday ready for a fight. Started with an attack on Alex Salmond.
I asked him “Have you ever heard Alex Salmond say a bad word about anybody?”
Complete collapse of attack.
This should be the automatic stock response when the “I don’t like that alecsammom” is offered as an excuse for a NO Vote.
Gent then noticed James Connolly nestling with John McLean on our history wall and he is now offering to help

When somebody starts on that line,I find the most effective response is…Who?
They then start explaining and you ask what/why/where/who/when.

Dave McEH,
Is your yes ship static or will it be sailing around the coast?!
It would actually be a great idea.

Then we’ll le’it tae sunday next.

Don’t get het up on those sites.Done them since the nineties,same old same old and naebody listens.
I do agree that they have to be counteracted,is Cynicus still pretending?
@goldenayr no I was up in Invercowrie last week visiting my daughter an Thepnr in Carnoustie
I gave my extra Yes Saltire to a guy who had constructed a massive flagpole which can be seen all over the village.
So, It seems that Rory-the-pet-tory is following nobs and going for the ‘unpolished’ look.

Defo, that play on radio 4, I happened to hear 5 minutes of it in the car (the bit you referred to) and I was genuinely shocked and dismayed.
Funny story
Two people file for divorce.Neither can get a lawyer to represent them in court and they go for a “quickie”.
The clerk reads the reasons and decides that this has to be heard in open court.
So both the wife and husband dutifully appear in front of the sherriff.
“Now” says the sherriff “You both claim to have irreconcilable differences”.
“Aye,y’re lordship,honour,majesty,thingy” they both declare.
“Yet you both claim to love one another dearly”says the sherriff.
They both reply.
“Aye y’re maj..hon..thingy”
“Ahem,now,could you explain,since you both love each other,WHY,you want a divorce?”
After much elbowing and “Naw you,naw you” the husband stands forward.
“Y’re Worship,it’s like this.Ah’m a naw voter,an the wifes a yes voter.An’everytime we hae eh,err”
The sherriff is waiting on the next case by this time and getting impatient,he’s also extremely intrigued,so it isn’t surprising when he shouts..
“Faur Gauds sake man,spit it out”
The poor hubby has no choice but to reveal his embarrassment.
“Everytime we hae sex,that bitch cums first”
Whits wrang guys?
D’ye no like a wummin oan top?
I’d like to put a Yes Scotland plaque as my contribution to the cairn as it would demonstrate context.
Had trouble sleeping and came across this link on the DR comments page .

Isn’t that where the two who turned up play swingball while they wait for something to happen?
Is the second picture them stockpiling ammo?
I am sure “Max from Shropshire” is a lovely guy, but I honestly thought that picture was a joke. Are these real? A guy in a long raincoat holding a slab, a lorry flytipping, and a bunch of druids whos robes are in the wash?
Can anyone exp[lain who OBE and the other “in-house troll on the various inky fingered UKOK press?
All names are allegedely, mind.
On the Rory the Wee Tory with the Wee Cairn story;
Please tell me that this is a sppf, a Monty Pythonesque fond adieu? The vignetting on the photos and the use of ageing suggests it is. Either that and I am still dreaming?
In which case I will continue to sleep in and hurry up the Yes vote as this farce, if it is real, must add votes, if only for the comedic effect.

According to the instagram page that sign is stone. The poor guy is sagging at the knees with the effort of holding it up and still for the camera.
Have some empathy please.
Though why you would paint such a sign on stone is beyond me. Also if I were doing it, I would use chalk for the lines so they can be erased afterwards. Not good to show your working. And his K’s look lower case which just looks odd. Keep the day job, don’t become a signwriter.

You all have got it wrong !! this is a brillent idea, finally we men will have something to pish on when we cross the border.
This cairn will be know as the “GOLDEN CAIRN”.
All the way from Shropshire. In that raincoat. Impressive.
Hmm, think we are planning to go past this *ahem* fantastic building site tomorrow on our way to Langholm. We might just stop off and *cough* investigate from afar how they are coping with this amazing, nay astonishing, building of the cairn. 😛
We don’t want to stop too near you understand cause our ever so slightly poster covered Jeep might find a few stones flying in its direction. 🙂
workfare ukokay c&*ts why me
luvya max
Well he DID get his travel and meals paid for him B.E. so it isn’t all bad news. 😛
Latest news from the cairn *ahem* building front line folks is that they appear to all be going home after two and a half hours *cough* strenuous work playing pass the parcel. 😛
http://tinyurl.com/nmvdepa
http://tinyurl.com/nujkh6n
In the name of health and safety, I hope they are building this cairn in a location where it’s easy to get their rocks off.
(…off the lorry, that is)
Don’t worry about them getting ther *ahem* rocks aff B.B. I think we should be more worried about how fast they play their “pass the stane” game. I mean too fast and some toes will surely be getting *cough* bashed. 😛
I wonder where Rory got the idea of a cairn from? It surely couldn’t have been from the one we built half-way up Calton Hill in the 90’s could it? Of course, we built that cairn to protest against the democratic deficit in Scotland pre-Scottish Parliament and to fight for democracy for Scotland – the opposite, it seems, to what Rory’s cairn is for.
Think he might have read about a cairn Jeannie in one of his fairy tale books, you know the same one that said pouring beer over two rocks would turn these two rocks into a cairn overnight! 😛
I’m thinking of visiting the *ahem* building site tomorrow in my latest reincarnation as a building inspector. Well someone has to *cough* inspect their stanes don’t they?
Too big… too small… too sharp… too big… too big…
I’d hate to think that they were playing “pass the stanes” game and a big heavy stane fell on someone’s poor wee tootsies. I would also hate to think that they were playing their wee game and someone cut themselves cause their stane was too sharp.
Mind you the REAL inspections will begin once they get above TWO layers of stanes cause then we’ll have to move in and remove any *ahem* dangerous stanes in the *cough* wall. 😛
