Apologies for the delay

Posted on March 23, 2014 by

…to normal service since yesterday afternoon, which was the result of Unionist sabotage from a fifth columnist lurking in the ranks of the Separats. We now have a new ADSL cable (PC World didn’t open until 11am) and we’ll be with you very shortly.

The traitor has been harshly dealt with.

    I would lend you the Dug, but he seems not to mind grey squirrels and ignores wood pigeon so I think he is a bit of a waste of space with rodents. He does a neat job on the feral pigeons in Perth High Street, thinking he would like a go at the Labour Party as well.

    Hah, now we know what your plot is! Training sabotrats as cable breakers and then letting them out round Cheltenham so GCHQ wont be able to track what we are doing in the final stages of the referendum. Good man!

    My terrier lacks manners meeting other dogs. Nothing hateful or Lamont-like, but just terriers will be terriers. I do try to keep him out of trouble, but just in case, next Independence rally, I might play safe and have the little fire starter wear Better Together livery.
    That carries the added bonus that they can’t call the event off because there are no Better Together stalls for balance.
    My only concern now is being fined for animal cruelty for making poor little mite support the Union for a day.

    Excellent blogwork, sir. A marvellously eloquent insight into all that has gone awry with Labour and its’ impending potential implosion.

    Please keep up the good work. As has been already said post here and post often, too

    It’s terribke news for Standard Life this week with Gideon Osbourne’s Budget announcement regarding pensions and annuities, it seems they were hit harder than most. Such an uncertain UK!

    And other providers talking about cancelling their cumulitive £25 bn spend on UK infrastructure and housing, jings what a slip from our clever Chancellor.

    Someone posted a piece about the Battle of Teba on the previous thread (where Sir James Douglas met his end carrying the heart of Bruce).

    John Barbour in his poem The Brus has a long passage about Douglas’s mission including the battle itself and I thought Wingers might be interested in its description of Douglas’s reception by the foreign knights on his arrival in Seville. ‘Wemmyt’ means scarred.

    A weill gret sojourne thar he mad,
    Knychtis that come of fer countre
    Come in gret hy him for to se
    And honouryt him full gretumly,
    And out-our all men fer soveranly
    The Inglis knychtis that war thar
    Honour and company him bar.
    Amang thai strangeris was a knycht
    That wes haldyn sa worthi and wicht
    That for ane of the gud wes he
    Prissyt off the Cristiante,
    Sa fast till-hewyn was his face
    That it our-all ner wemmyt was.
    Or he the lord Douglas had sene
    He wend his face had wemmyt bene
    Bot never a hurt tharin had he.
    Quhen he unwemmyt gan it se
    He said that he had gret ferly
    That swilk a knycht and sa worthi
    And prissyt of sa gret bounte
    Mycht in the face unemmyt be,
    And he answerd tharto makly
    And said, ‘Love God, all tym had I
    Handis my hed for to wer.’
    Quha wald tak kep to this answer
    Suld se in it understanding
    That, and he that maid that asking
    Had handis to wer, hys face
    That for faute of defence sa was.
    To-fruschyt intill placis ser
    Suld have may-fall left hale and fer.
    The gud knychtis that than war by
    Pryssyt hys answer gretumly,
    For it wes maid with mek speking
    And had rycht hey understanding.

    Having been in the IT game for a long time, here is some vital advice Rev (I know you have probably heard this a lot today already).

    For production level systems, get 2 of everything and then another one for backup.

    Amen to that. In spades, with knobs on, and with the volume turned up to #11.

    Stuart, you have built Wings into the most important vehicle for puncturing the FUD of Project Fear and the MSM’s relentless bias. Your work is now mission critical.

    The indy campaign simply cannot afford to have you waiting around for PCW to open. You need to have the equipment appropriate for such critical work, and you have the funds to get it. Please use them!
