I must be getting old – Frank Spencer has fairly aged!

Michelle van der stighelen

Wow! Well that’s me convinced then.thats my aspiration, I wanna be just like that!:)

Morag

Pity you already used the Operation Yewtree joke.

Laura Vivanco

I thought he was trying to hitchhike, and the next photo made me wonder who was flytipping in the Borders.

Tartan Tory

Hahahahaha!!! 🙂

goldenayr

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”.

kendomacaroonbar

There must be a SLAB joke in there somewhere

Adrian B

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?

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.

Kenny Shaw

That reminds me . I’m going to see Monty Python tomorrow.

Bunter

And the other ”hot seat” interview, Jerzeena LOL

Laughing my socks off at the website ” 3 posts – 6 followers” ! Just about sums up the support!

Oh bejeebus I thought this was a spoof!

mjaei

Is that Instagram page a spoof, or is it for real? I genuinely can’t tell…

Colin

My wife just said his trouser legs look like they stop at the knees and are held up by string.

Marcia

Ah bless. Is this really genuine?

David

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!

Graeme Doig

See what they’re making the unemployed down south do for their sins

Bill Pickford

“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).

Grouse Beater

Last time I saw a raincoat like that it was on Columbo.

goldenayr

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.

goldenayr

Grouse Beater

The last time anyone seen a raincoat like that they phoned the cops.

goldenayr

Still say Max is a comedy genious.

G H Graham

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.

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.

crazycat

@ 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.)

goldenayr

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.

Paula Rose

Where does this photo come from Rev? I feel a bit uncomfortable mocking this.

msean

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.

geeo

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.

Morag

It’s one that Rory uploaded to show the level of enthusiasm for his cairn project. Which seems to make it fair game.

Doug Daniel

GH Graham – wrong Rory Stewart. He’s tweeted a lot more than once: link to twitter.com

……………

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.

Dal Riata

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!

Alistair Livingston

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 link to rorystewart.co.uk

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.

Morag

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.

Paula Rose

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.

CameronB Brodie

I think I know him, though he normally parts his hair on the other side. 🙂

Morag

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.

Paula Rose

Lesley-Anne has already convinced all the stones on site to vote yes.

Rookiescot

I know its OT but check out the comments of Mr OBE on this.

link to heraldscotland.com

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.

goldenayr

Morag

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.

Dal Riata

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.

Defo

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.

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.

Mr OBE appears to be in a loop, you can plainly see the spittle coming out of his posts.

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.

Adrian B

@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?

Morag

Mr. OBE isn’t doing himself any favours. Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.

Defo

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.

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.

Dr JM Mackintosh

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!

patronsaintofcats

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

goldenayr

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”

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.

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. 😛

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. 😛

Jeannie

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.

Lesley-Anne

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! 😛

Lesley-Anne

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. 😛

Cearc, Nobs unpolished? Surely not? I thought high class nobs were polished, usually in English Public Boys Schools, and usually by the 12 year old fags? I’ll get my coat. Thank you and goodnight.
