Probably a robbery
Transphobia
Good spot Rev.????
Reflection in the parked car
Okay, forget emojis on the iPhone. Meant to be a wink.
Camera shake?
The 6th dog is a different breed? I give up.
They trolling!
To be fair, it’s as close to the truth as you are likely to get In the DR.
I had an Alsatian puppy once,got him from the local blacksmiths.
Had him home 10 mins and he made a bolt for the door.
Meatloaf sequel song: “Five outta six ain’t bad”.
5 super trained and one not so much??
The sixth ones called Kezia! Woof!
Obviously the other one is – in training – a passer by – not actually with them – photoshopped . . . .
Chortle 😀
Damn, got there too late!
Murphy’s Law!
5 alsatians out of 6 say they prefer the Daily Record….for shitting on.
Clearly, the ??? dog doesn’t belong to the guy, but fancied going along for the walk. Quite obvious really, as it doesn’t even look like the other ones and is walking in quite a gemmy manner. Sorted.
thats fuck all, my black lab brings me a cuppa tea in bed then nips down to newsagents and picks up my national.
There are only five real dogs. Number 6 is an unemployed foreigner, and therefore doesn’t count.
one, two, three, four, five once i caught a lying Editor Alive,
six, seven, eight nine ten, then i let IT go again..
Why did you let IT go..
Cause IT printed loads o shite..
What shite did it print..
So might shite it’d give yi the frights..
*** STOP PRESS ***
DR journalist has finally carried out a piece of journalistic investigation, and the above article has been amended to include the 6th dog glaringly present in the photograph.
They’re figures just don’t add up!
Spread the word far and wide.

Daily Rancid
Clearly they are pathologically unable to tell the truth even when it’s capable of biting them on the bum. The Records original article says six German Shepherds soooo-is it reading or maths lessons that’s needed?
They obviously read Wings…they’ve changed it to Six now.
Dugs eh?

Is it any wonder why its called the daily retard?
Help! Sometime last year I vaguely remember reading on here about a labour person saying on twitter something along the lines of: having food banks is a sign of having an affluent society/country.
Ring any bells?
[…] They just can’t help it […]
Sorry – I have a vow promising six.
@ Ronnie Anderson
My thanks to you & the Yew Choob crew- Big Dim Jim is brilliant 😉
Worse luck, they’ve changed the live article to say 6. Presume someone has the orig archive.
Oh come on folks the heading of this extremely educational and informative article is, figuratively accurate, there are FIVE dogs in the picture. 😀 The problem the D.R. has is that they do not have anyone who can count above the number 5 without getting completely confused. 😛
Just be thankful folks that no one at the D.R. has been able, yet, to get their clammy paws on the BBC Calculator because we all know what will happen then … the five will become five HUNDRED! 😀
Should probably have added, since when does a not interesting picture/video of an American walking some dogs copied from the net become print media news?
Oh sorry, it’s the Daily Rancid.
I cannae cope when its more than one hand.
Yin, Twa, Thrice, Fower, Fife, help!
Anyone seen this link to Dick Gaughan telling BBC to stuff their Celtic Connections concert due to referendum bias.
Good on you Dick. Hopefully more will follow.

Nice one ronnie.
Thanks Jock and Ninja, we’re still hanging around eh!
Apart from the mysterious extra dog in the photo, I thought you had to keep German Shepherds on a leash?
Their reporters cannot count, just like their editors.
@Lollysmum
@Alex Clark
They people at Yew Choob are incorrigible.Did I mention they,re olso very talented,its My privelage to know them.
It was 5 dogs until Murphy read it. He called the editor and insisted there were 6.
I used to have rough collie dug and rarely used a lead. She would walk ahead and wait at every street corner from me. She would jump in the back seat of the car before I knew it and I took her everywhere.
I had a pal whose wife left him and took the dug. He really missed that dug.
Alex
The Chairchoob,Ian Davidson hasn’t got around to bayoneting us yet so we’re just passing the time..hope you are well my friend
Well done Mr Gaughan. Great to hear about someone wi a bit of integrity.
Not going to spoil the moment by watching QT that’s for sure.
The Daily Record…never knowingly accurate.
@Ronnie Anderson
Damn fine wee ditty from yourself and Jock’s team.
Easy peasy. Lots of Hendrix fans at the Record. 🙂
Jimi Hendrix. If 6 was 9.

Don’t know if they are just incompetent or they are going in an Orwellian direction.
“How many dogs are there in the photo Winston?”
Looks like dog numbers are volatile
Ronnie Anderson- that video is hilarious, had tears running doon ma cheeks. Well done AYE
Must be the guy that calculates Englands and Scotlands share of the oil revenues
Alexicon ‘re foodbanks it was a teacher at Aboyne academy I think
There’s an obvious reason for the miscount. Big Dim Jim has pledged to provide 1 more dog than the SNP provided.
@ Nana Smith ah hiv a long wie tae go tae emulate your contabrution.
@ Mary Vasey all credits due to Jock, Ninja, Janet, ah jist hiv ah wee diddy part lol.
@ heedtracker its alrite noo am back on song lol.
Nah ronnie.
Nana’s great, but you too bring your own unique contribution.
Thanks Rev .
Thanks to all the early posters , great to have a bit o humour on the threads .
Sorry I can’t add more tho’
O/T Scotland 2015 tonight .Much as I like Stewart Hosie , I felt he missed out by not asking Lewis M what difference is between the two types of Funds ? and how would Scot Gvt possibly fund it ?
That’s what the public need to know .
QT , I thought it before and I still think it , the Torys really missed a trick when they did not vote for David Davis to get the top job . Not up to speed on all his politics etc but he always strikes me as too good for them !
Thank for link above ;
Round of applause from our pre Ref poster pre Mr Dick Gaughan.
Well done Sir ????
@Nana..cheers pal..he is an inspiration
@Mary…thanks it’s what we aim for
@Indyracer made me laugh, cheers
@Ronnie.. cheers, Pa 🙂

GP Walrus

Apologise to DG , I hope you do still read .

6 dugs or 5 dugs…either way its a lot of shite!
The establishment/HMG/EBC & MSM Have a plan for the SNP & Scotland, regarding the WESTMINSTER lottery. Give them as little exposure as possible and keep pushing the lies, disinformation and anti SCOTTISH propaganda that you can get away with, then they will wither and die, job done.
The ENGLISH BROADCASTING CORPORATIN and MSM will do the job for them via their spineless lying employees, the ones who are honest will just have to keep their heads down and do as they are told.
As my old mother used to say “OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND”
@ X Sticks naw that wiz earlier on got pissed aff watching FMQs then hiving tae read it awe day, ah wiz at the point of crackin up so took time oot tae calm ma jets.
@desimond

@ Ronnie Anderson
Thanks for the link to the video, Ronnie. You were born for the stage! 🙂
Great stuff from you, Ninja and Yew Choob – your efforts keep the rest of us going. Thanks for the laughs. 🙂

Worth remembering the lengths our great uk gov go to, to keep us serfs in our place…and the lies upon which history is re written by those whose interests it serves to accommodate and maintain their own positions. (from Rev’s twitter feed earlier):

The comments and discussion btw is well worth the read imv.
I think I’ve figured out where the *ahem* extra dug came from. It was the dug that was out with the Three men when they went to Mow a meadow but it decided mowing a meadow was not for it and decided to go for a long walk with its five mates instead. 😀
From Libya to London – The World of a Wild Child Turned Power – Broker. The Financier Nat Rothschild is at The Centre of a Web of International Intrigue
Once again, the name of Nat Rothschild has emerged at the centre of web of intrigue, with questions over his links to Libya, his friendship with Peter Mandelson and his alleged role in the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Indeed, his name seems to be linked with almost every influential, rich and powerful person on the globe, from billionaires to presidents and royalty.
His sphere of influence, it has been revealed, now extends even into Libya, which during the 1980s and 1990s was reviled as a terrorist state. Seif Gaddafi, President Muammar Gaddafi’s son, was the guest of honour at a party held by the financier in New York in 2008 and this year he allowed his home in Corfu to be the venue for a meeting between the Libyan and Lord Mandelson.

Shouldn’t really do this but there was a very informative documentary on BBC2 earlier tonight about the super-rich, well worth a watch:

Interesting interviews and viewpoints, showing some footage of protests not usually covered by the BBC. My wife asked “Is this really being shown on the BBC?”
RESEVOIR DUGDALES……!!!!!!! Duplicitous backstabbers
five of the dogs are his the other one is his girlefriends.
@Ronnie
Superb! 😀
Coffee an’ toast everywhere.
Didn’t the Record suffer a few redundancies recently? Mibbies some wag nicked the office calculator on the way oot. 🙂
Would that be Rothschild financed with Oil money. A relation of the unelected Rothschild who (secretly) devised the Poll Tax or the Rothschild who instigated the Balfour Agreement? All coming together.
This looks like NY or some other US city, although at this moment it the dugs would be in husky array towing the boss.
It is more of a tight pack than Scotland has seen for some years.

Despite contributing £185 billion surplus to UK Treasury, Scotland’s “deficit” includes a share of UK’s deficit and even at current oil prices our fiscal deficit is no worse than bankrupt Britain’s £100 bn annual shortfall.
From Financial Times 2 February 2014
Even excluding the North Sea’s hydrocarbon bounty, (Scotland’s) per capita GDP is higher than that of Italy. Oil, whisky and a broad range of manufactured goods mean an independent Scotland would be one of the world’s top 35 exporters.
Aw c’mon Stu, you know as well as the rest of us that we’re just not genetically programmed to count dugs.
The sixth one was probably a postal dug.

Investigative journalism at its Scottish best. Not exactly Charlie Hebdo.
Scotland would have a £16Billion+ Fund to deal with any Oil downturn, if the ConDems haup not put up NS Oil taxes 11% in the 2011 Budget. Plus £1Billion lose (£4Billion) on no tax on ‘loss leading’ alcohol. £1.5Billion lost on Trident/illegal wars. (£6Billion) = £26Billion lost Revenues in 4 years. It was the LibDems from Oil dependant constituencies who supported these policies.
Instead of having the cheek coming to Aberdeen with his lies, Carmichael should go to Orkney to explain his policies to those who elected him, and whose livelihood are in jeapody.
The 11% tax increase was an attempt to jeapodise the NS Oil sector for political purposes.
£26Billion+ Scotland has lost in 4 years because of Westminster policies. Vote SNP
Looks like they borrowed Danny Alexander’s calculator! 🙂
OK – some caption writer at the Record fucked-up; but, shit happens. The bigger story here is the standard of journalism in Scotland.
When I started in the Fourth Estate, back in the 1960s, every paper had proof readers, tasked with picking-up and sorting such boobs as this – cost-cutting saw them dispensed with some 20-25 years ago.
This put the onus for spotting mistakes onto the subs, who were already doing more work thanks to the new technology taking-out case-rooms and paste-up. Then the bean counters started to get rid of subs, and more mistakes crept in.
In any case, this story originated in the USA, I have seen the same story on my BT broadband home page. OK, the bard-pressed Record sub getting the number of dogs wrong is embarrassing and sloppy – the lack of genuine Scottish stories, plus the paper’s Londoncentric Unionist political stance are the real scandals around the paper.
Yes, the Record is a terrible newspaper, but, there are worse things to complain about in the paper than this stupid mistake – but, human nature being what it is, we can still enjoy a laugh at this.
Another article re the fall in oil prices…
link to economywatch.com
And here’s me thinking it was Murphy and his new personal protection squad.
The Oil industry jobs losses predicted are 35,000 over five years. Ie 7,000 a year. (UK ) in Scotland 1000+ ? a year. Renewables/fishing/Education/NHS/tourism/construction are alternatives.
Fiscal autonomy/Independence would create more jobs. Ie different economic policies.
Peaceful Protest March Against The BBC – 15.03.2015
“The General Election is in May, as we know from our fight for Independence the BBC will be a big stinking propaganda machine as usual, not forgetting the recent revelations of their coverups of paedophilia.”
“It is now time again to bring as much attention to this as possible and before the elections, we shall meet at George Square and walk peacefully to the BBC studios to make ourselves seen and heard once again by publicly exposing the BBC for all their corrupt ways..”

It’s obvious the folks at the record read Wings, otherwise they’d probably never have noticed.
I hear a deep depression has fallen on Labour MSPs with the news of the appointment of John McTernan as Jim Murphy’s chief of staff.
Kezia Dugdale is to have a meeting with John McTernan to discuss her po0r performance at FMQs yesterday. Expect rant-filled storms, downpours of foul mouthed abuse and gale force dressing downs.
Dick, yir a better man than I’ll ever be. Respect.

@ K1 1.05 am
Read the article you linked to and the first few comments. One by Mervyn Hyde about 9 down at the moment, was very interesting I thought.
One point: Paul Mason says that the Thatcher government decided not to call in the troops. But I heard of young Scottish soldiers, stationed in Germany, who were brought back to Britain, dressed up in police uniforms, and set against the miners. Their families were so shocked by this that they bought them out of the army.
@alexicon
The defence review cancelled the Nimrods after 5Billion pounds had been spent.
OK.
But immediate destruction of the aircraft was implemented making the decision irrevocable.
Why? and by whom?
What sort of people have we making decisions. Barstewards of the first order!
Some forward thinking by our masters perhaps? An independent Scotland could have a need for these. Let’s disadvantage them!
This story shall take legs before the GE. Let’s assist!
the dog on the right is Austrian. Can’t you tell?
Would Wigs put out a booklet of McTernan’s predictions and statements, it would be useful for campaigning over the next few months. I’d take part in a crowd funding.
Or perhaps a section on the page to download.
Wings not wigs!
