SOPPY SUNDAY

We accept all currencies and all credit cards at the Towers’ entrance.

2. This is Constance.

3. Who’s getting a kiss?

4. I don’t want to crow, but I’m probably the smartest animal around here. At the other end of the scale, there is Tris.

5. I want carried.

6. Oi, you, human, you got any nosh? Asking for a friend …who is me.

7. So, Sidney, where do you fancy going for a walk today… and is Bongo coming?

8. It’s extra to get into this part of the grounds. A tin of sweetcorn will cover it. (Just call me Trump the Hen.)

9. So, no, Clarence. You’re not the most intelligent animal here.

(Note: AI says: Both crows and pigs are exceptionally intelligent, often ranking high on lists of smart animals, but they excel in different ways: pigs show advanced problem-solving and social-emotional depth, comparable to a toddler, while crows demonstrate superior tool-making, rule-based learning, and abstract reasoning. While pigs might solve problems independently without human help, crows excel at complex planning and using tools, making it difficult to declare one definitively “smarter,” as their cognition suits their environments.)

10. Sakura Tree, Japan.

11. Can I help you? I’m the head sheep.

12. Timbuktu. Munguin was thinking that might be a suitable place to spend the winter.

13. No jokes about getting the hump, please.

14. I remind Tris of his family dog when he was a kid. He was called Mac, and very much loved.

15. Wash your face before meeting Munguin, little one.

16. I’m not sure I like the looks of you lot… I think your after my dinner.

17. Yay.

18. We is twins!

19. Oh goodie. Munguin has a pool…

20. If you are going swimming, make sure your mummy goes with you. I’m the head Dolife Guard.

WELL DONE US

We seem to always be told by the “popular” press how bad everything in Scotland is. But it isn’t…

There is hope yet. Never mind what Old Rachel from Accounts says.

This is the reality. A sensible country that wasn’t owned by its neighbour, got the same opportunities we got, but didn’t want to pretend that it was important and didn’t have incompetent government eg, Margaret Thatcher, making its capital a corrupt money machine, but in fact had a prudent government that invested carefully and accepted that, despite its fortune, it didn’t want to be America’s deputy…

LEARN ARE LANGUAGE

Nigel, you numbskull, if BBC’s Question Time is that bad why are you the person with the 6th most appearances on this discredited programme. You have appeared 38 times since 2002, an average of 1.5 times a year, despite only being elected to parliament last year.

Those who have appeared more, were senior politicians like Kenneth Clarke, Shirley Williams, Menzies Campbell, Harriet Harman and Charlie Kennedy. All of them over a far longer period of time.

And, as Colin the Dachshund points out, if you want to be the prime minister of England, you really should learn the English language.

In UK English, “licence” is the noun (the official document or permit), while “license” is the verb (the action of granting permission).

And, just for additional information, this is similar to the “practice” (noun) versus “practise” (verb) rule.

Methinks you may have been spending too much time around a certain American criminal.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

I guess, when you’re as dumb as Trump you need to get your tacky decorating ideas from somewhere

Not to mention your female companions!

**********

Ah, that explains a lot, your Noble Reformness, what with you being Jack Boots’ best buddy

Because sod the environment, you greedy money grubbing grifter… and of course it had the added advantage of backfooting the Scottish government, which, of course, you being a fascist Reformer and them consisting largely decent humans, you loathe.

**********

Sleepy Joe? Dozy Don!

Should warn you, this video contains close ups of an orange blob sleeping. It may cause nightmares or sleeplessness…or heaven only knows what else. Have a bucket handy.

**********

I have to admit that killing people who you think just might be smuggling drugs and then pardoning the biggest ever drug dealer, is weird even for Bone Spurs

**********

One of these days ranting in temper may cause damage to Dozy Don…

Just Wow!!!

19. Not a pic, but you’ll love this wee so and so.

LABOUR THEN AND NOW

Rachel from accounts, as Dave calls her, has said that no matter the result of our next election, Scotland will not be allowed to have a referendum on its future.

But that’s a very different story from the one that Sir Starmer was telling 5 years ago.

Of course, he said all that before he went out of his way to help English companies with problems while disregarding Scottish companies in similar situations.

It was before he decided that, despite us not needing them, he wanted Scotland to have nuclear reactors to create power for England. This goes against our government’s policy, given our abundance of hygro, wave, wind and solar power generation.

And it was before he retained the majority of the fishing fund for his country, England, despite a vast amount of the fishing done in this fetid union is done in our country, Scotland. I think we got 8% of the payment, although Scottish vessels accounted for 70% of the tonnage and 63% of the value of all landings by UK vessels in 2023. Provisional data for 2024, the latest figures, shows a similar trend. 

Now we know that this Labour government, and its chargehand in Scotland, tell lies as a matter of course…After all we’ve “read their lips”! But just for once, we’d like to know, because this is so important to so many of us.

I can’t honestly say that I think it’s a great idea for Starmer to visit us… but I’m not about to discourage him. I think he may find that he is as popular here as David Cameron was during the referendum campaign… or indeed Theresa May was when she became prime minister and was obliged to hold her meetings in a shed in a wood somewhere.

I hope she didn’t have to run through a field to get there…

Erm, I don’t want to be a grammar pedant, Theresa, but should it not have been “…when my friends and I…” rather than “me and my friends“?

Now you can safely say that the naughtiest thing you ever did was get your subject and object pronouns mixed up on television and on Munguin’s Republic.
