By the same token, I'm deeply grateful to "Brian Spanner", Euan McColm, J K Rowling et al, because their affected "hilarity" over the subject (which I've been privately offered some very intriguing interpretations of) helped this blog to its highest level of traffic in a single day since the general election period last spring. In all honesty, I'm a bit miffed it wasn't even better than that, but it seems even the magic of Hogwarts has its limitations.
Incidentally, I'm excited to inform you that I actually spent an hour or so on Ardrossan beach last year when I was killing time waiting for the train after a delayed ferry back from Arran. I'm sure I took some pictures, so I'll study them closely and let you know if I spot any misogynists lurking in the seaweed.
James, the folk of Ardrossan have been enduring the weather lately.
ReplyDeleteYour point, caller?
DeleteWho are you?
DeleteWell done m8 u deserve the internet hits ur blog will uncover these wastemonster conspiratators. The truth is out their now. Both votes SNP
ReplyDeleteThis is great news, there must be some way we can turn this into a fundraiser for something too.
ReplyDeleteThe yoon-journos thought if they didn't say and didn't look no one would find out the truth about Ardrossan. One ferry, one train station, one misogynist.
ReplyDeleteThe tweet about Margaret Curran and Female Genital Mutilation was disgusting,but went uncriticised by JK Rowling and the British media.Shame on them all.
ReplyDeletebritnat hypocrisy can run but it can't hide.
ReplyDeleteI can see the headline '...and the mystery tweeter is EWAN McHOLM shocker' and folk going 'Who the feck's Ewan McHolm? Is he Labour front bench or something? Pals wi that Keira DoogHale?'.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how long this road to independence is but it isn't half taking some amusing twists and turns. Wifi triangulation in Ardrossan? Whatever next? I need to go out for more popcorn.
ReplyDelete""Brian Spanner", Euan McColm, J K Rowling et al, because their affected "hilarity" over the subject ..."
ReplyDeleteAnd it truly is "affected" for the very simple reason that the tweets of @brianspanner1 are so vile and disgusting, and misogynistic, that only a perverted mind(s) could produce them. But having been found out they are trying to pass them off as a joke. I'm sure Maggie Curran et al had a good laugh.
It's like when you are slagging someone off, thinking they are absent, only to belatedly discover to your horror that they in fact can hear and have heard every word you said. The fall back position then, which fools no-one is to bluster and try to pretend that you knew all along they were there and that what you said was all a big joke. We've all been there or thereabouts. The fairy tale teller and her hackery friends are fooling nobody.
Isn't he a bigot, rather than a misogynist?
DeleteThat’s the thing with self-interest yoon trolls, they have nothing to offer but abuse and insults, is it any wonder that more and more decent people are turning their back on a bitter and twisted union.
ReplyDeleteANDY HAS HAD A BABY GIRL. YAY.
ReplyDeletePoor Ardrossan forever twinned with Misogyny.
ReplyDeleteI don't get these unionist/Britnats. They're such bad winnners.
ReplyDeleteBut not losers.
DeleteDisgusted by what I saw of Spanner's women hating tweets and the wall of silence of the press. Especially given the treatment of ordinary activists on the other side for far less or nothing at all.
ReplyDeleteSaw your later comment about how people hadn't read your blog with care. That included me. I think that's partly because of the number who came via twitter. You get used to skimming through things and moving on to try to find the next part of the jigsaw. May not be till you've run round all the tweeted links that you realise what was the most illuminating part of the sequence.
You were clear in what you were saying and hope that you get more readers for your blog.
BTW for some people anonymous is the only option as none of the others apply.
Ardrossan twinned with Saltcoats and Stevenson. The people conned by the Nat sis. How many years have the Nat sis been in power! And still blaming the English.
ReplyDeleteWee Nicola still sponging aff the English and moaning. Tax the Scottish rich ya wee middle class Tartan Tory. Hiv a bit of dignity. The free meal ticket is over hen. The blame the English is getting thin.
