    Specific skills

    Johann Lamont head: invisibility.

    Ruth Davidson head: rapier wit.

    Annabel Darling head: Mastermind Champion of Champions 2010. Specialist subject: The Carry On films.

    Jenny Marra head: neat handwriting.

    Rod Stewart head: hypnotic swimming trunks.

    Margaret Curran head: power over matter, mainly used to teleport her servants to and from Earth and to manipulate the size of any of her ships or aliens.

    Jackie Baillie head: photographic memory.

    Bobby Gillespie head: Peter Pan of pop.

    Kezia Dugdale head: can intercept your family breakdown letters and post them on the internet.

    Patricia Ferguson head: I have never heard of this woman.

    Margaret Mitchell head: um.

    Rhoda Grant head: who?

A sort of sub Daily Mail zone where the truth goes to die. I wasn’t sure if the OO post (lovely clean marchers) was just a wind up.

    Just posted this on Facebook. Totally pissed off with unionist hypocrisy. Time to take off the kid gloves! 
     
    Further information has emerged regarding the unfurling of the Saltire at Sunday’s Wimbledon Final by First Minister Alex Salmond. Apparently Mr. Salmond was keen to support Prime Minister’s Cameron’s decision to fly the Saltire above 10 Downing Street. Unfortunately Mr. Salmond was not at home in Scotland, as he was supporting Andy in person. Hence, being a innovative sort of chap, our First Minister decided to take his Saltire with him to Wimbledon. Thankfully this new evidence has cleared Mr. Salmond of racism, pulling a stunt, being tacky and crass and all the other bullshit that the unionist media have thrown at him. Well done Big Eck you were only following the lead of our esteemed Prime Minister ‘Call me Dave’!

    I also think it helps to take the eye away from the de-collagenised facial features which are rapidly drooping under the gravitational pull of the earth …. Not that I’d be talking from personal experience, you understand.

    It looks as if the jaikits, pink or otherwise, are really aff in the fight between NL and the Unions.  Milibum reported on the morning news as trailing an end to the political levy.  Basically he’s telling the unions they can go stuff themselves, in order to please English Tories.  That will cost NL millions, and that sort of funding can only be replaced by the City.  It’s already hard to tell Labour from Tory, but soon we’ll need high-tech tools.

    I hope Salmond DOES milk Murray’s triumph for all it’s worth. In fact, I hope every one of us does.

    God knows, we take enough of a battering about how crap our football is. And we’re going to have to listen to our southern cousins crowing for months if they beat Australia at cricket.

    So, yes, let’s have a bit of this while it lasts.

    Let’s be proud of a Scottish boy with a good old, bloody-minded Scottish attitude and just the right size of Scottish-farmed chip on his shoulder. Most of all, let’s make sure the whole world KNOWS he’s Scottish.

    @Max
    I’m surprised BBC Scotlandshire hasn’t run one of their “polls” such that every vote goes to one “choice” just to shew up these chancers. Perhaps a “Which is the most trusted organ of the Press in Scotland?” with all the votes going to the Hoootsmon?

    Opened up the page and saw a picture of Johann Lamont and read the headline as “One nation under a jaikie”.  Amazing how your unconscious mind works, isn’t it?

    I always had suspicions about Primal Scream. They never talk about Scotland or where they are from. I always thought this odd when they were at their height usually Scottish bands are quiite proud. They must be nouvo Brits.

    According to BBC News this morning, Andy Murray suggesting he shouldn’t get a knighthood.

    Maybe dropping a big hint? Don’t offer, as I don’t want to have to refuse?
     
    He was prompted for an answer on the one show last night by the nice wee Welsh lassie.

    He said something along the lines of “No I don’t think so” then promptly changed the subject.
     
    Regardless of what the boys feelings are on Scotland & independence It would appear the whole grandiose establishment thing doesn’t sit well with him.

    I suspect his Tennis is the most important thing in his life and everything else comes a very poor second. He even said he wasn’t planning on marrying his girlfriend anytime soon when asked about that too.

    I don’t blame him for that. His focus on his sport is the reason he’s at the top of his game.
     
    Lang may yer lumb reek big man!

    @Max … when you think about it, don’t you want the BT campaign to be MORE negative? It’s already at the ridiculous stage, I’m sure it will be even more detrimental to them if they continue down that path. I say let them be more negative, people will only laugh.

    I too have just bought a pair of curtains in a startling shade of pink but last I checked there is not jaikit in the closet in that colour, and I will be keeping it that way.
    I concur that none of those wimmen would know how to blush.

    When you think about it. Any one thinking of voting no must be weak in the head with a very poor grasp of reality. Does the mental health act apply in these cases.

    Why don’t you focus on drawing parallels based on arguments of substance and not this belittling misogynistic bile?

    Oh, do piss off. You noticed that two of the people in the pictures were men, right? If we’ve really reached the point in human history where a post in our late-night comedy slot saying “Hey, a lot of people on the No side wear pink jackets and black tops! Ha ha!” counts as “misogynist”, then it’s time to release the poison gas and leave the planet to the fucking cockroaches.

    Would it be sexist to say that (apart from the delectable Jenny Marra) the best-looking – and most feminine – is Rod Stewart?

    In defence of the wrinkled one.. not Mags Curran, Rod Stewart… I believe he was very selectively quoted by the Project Fear team, in that kind of Raymond Buchanan talking to EU Foreign Ministers kind of way.
    They left quite a big chunk of what he said out, mainly because it was along the lines of ‘if it’s what the people of Scotland want, then I’m happy, but I don’t live there so I don’t really have an opinion.’
     
    Do you have to wear that ‘interesting’ shade of pink if you’re a Scottish* opposition politician?

    * sort of.

    He has done pieces on men who all wear blue ties. Because that’s the point here: politicians dressing the same, not women dressing the same.

    I’m a 40+ woman and find this funny. Some comic relief, aye?
     
    About 10 years ago, I used to have sexy, tight pedal pushers in the exact colour of JoLa’s/RuDa’s jaikits. Wore them with a black jaikit for work and something less substantial for play.
     
    And to be fair, I think I’ve seen a couple of female SNP MSPs in pink jaikits. Are they insidious infiltrators, or is pink just a “fashion” colour, and usually quite flattering to fair complexions? I mean, even Jackie Baillie looks quite pretty in pink, certainly better than in blue, or any other colour.
     
    Poor male MSPs, they can’t experiment with colour, it’s all gray/dark blue… Maybe dark brown, at a stretch. Some of them would look a lot better in a different colour…
     
    Anyway, JoLa and RuDa wearing almost the exact same outfit for FMQs a few weeks back was funny. No woman wants to wear the same thing as another unless they’re under 10 and best friends. 😀
