Lobeydosser

Is that gel you’ve used. I’ve went for windswept.

beachthistle

No that’s not an old volcano it’s on top of, Ed. That big lump of lava-looking rock was built by hardworking Scottish Labour voters. It was actually one of the first things paid for by UK Barnett formula money.
Wow, strange I haven’t heard that before Margaret.
No, well, I’m not surprised. People up here are afraid to talk, tell the truth about it. Especially shy, bashful business owners and entrepreneurs. They telt me they feel intimidated. Silenced.

Jamie Arriere

The One O’Clock gun misses its targets yet again…

Richard Lucas

Near, Far, Whereever you are……

“I’m here in Cardiff for a photo-shoot and this blond bitch is f**king everything up ….. “

Ed. You’re supposed to keep your arse out of sight when you’re getting a photo taken

Kirriereoch

“I´ve always misunderestimated you, unlike some people.”
 
“Hmm, you´ve just taken the mouth right out of my words…”

here’s something to rip the BBC a  new one with 
this is the complaint  raised  with the BBC 10 minutes ago
In spite of my and I have no doubt others complaining of James Martin falsely claiming the Yorkshire was voted the third best place in the world to visit as stated on last weeks Saturday morning kitchen, I was really quite angry to hear that same falsehood stated again this morning,
 now it would seem from his demeanor he knows it to be false but insists on repeating it in a facile and childish attempt to bait Scottish people (see how many complaints we can get) Might I remind Mr Martin he has a good and loyal fan base (my own wife included) in Scotland who see his feeble attempts at drawing out  the Scots as mean and spiteful and quite beneath him, this complaint has gone from one of being a desire for the BBC to correct an error to a complaint about a deliberate falsehood the complaint reference number I copied and pasted straight from your response to me dated 02/11/13 CAS-2391419-3V4S14 was rejected as incorrect 
I would seem to me Mr Martin has a desire to see his name on every independence websites in Scotland please assure him I am happy to oblige.

@BBC Scotlandshire
Many apologies for attempting to do your job for you.
I’ll follow your example and retract the quote in about 6 months with a very small and well hidden editorial apology sometime in 2015. Seem fair?

Ed: Shall we go to Arthur’s Seat?
M : Stuff Arthur, I’ve enough problems haudin oan tae ma own seat. Rememmer Ah’m the only person who can lose a seat in the East End of Glesca tae a Mason!!
 
To my mind, this was the best one. I was visiting my parents when I read this and major coffee-keyboard moment! 😀
 
My dad wanted to know what was so funny and I tried to explain:
 
“Well, that’s Ed, the Labour leader in Westminster, and that’s Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat is this big hill in the heart of Edinburgh…” By the time I’d explained that a seat also means a place in Parliament and who and what Mags Curran is and John Mason is and what’s the significance of the name Mason and… Well, let’s just say that the joke doesn’t translate into Finnish 😀  It’s got so many levels and requires so much local knowledge. Afterwards I was not a bit proud that I’d got it right away.
 
Thanks, everyone else, too, for a fair few laughs and giggles on this dreich day! 😀
