thplinth Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We have come up with a Scottish character and it is McGlashan - made up by a fawning BBC Edinburgh private schoolboy the type the BBC adore and cant get enough of. The fact they hate Scotland is the only qualification that counts. The piss take character we don't see from these snobby twats is the Edinburgh private school whank who hates everything scottish to the point of being McGlashan but in reverse. It would be such an easy piss take character but you never see it. Just Mcglashan Mcglashan Mcglashan... All the BBC 'humorists' are spineless arselicking scotland hating twats. You don't get the gig unless you are. The folk who go on about McGlashans are the true anti-McGlashans. Snide edinburgh whanks who see everything scottish as shit. Just my view but anyone I have ever seen who uses the word McGlashan is a mega khunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whanky wee neebzo town pumped full of oil money that now thinks its shit does not stink. The whole of Scotland cant fukking wait for that Aberdeen balloon to pop leaving those neebzo nouveau riche divots scratching their arses and wondering where it all went wrong. Their attitude to "Scumdee" says it all. That is exactly who you are minus the oil windfall. You have no friends now after this endless economic crowing. Everyone is waiting for Aberdeen's comeuppance. You sure as fukk better not slip. Is this meant to be some of that moronic humour referenced above?!

thplinth Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Peterculter has two pubs these days I am informed. How many does that barren shithole you are building your new wind swept stadium have? Is it none. Is it. My google maps'esque knowledge of aberdeen geography is only surpassed by my knowledge of their torn faced miserableness and inability to crack a smile (unless they detect a penny underfoot). And thank you phart but I was not born there. Never been so insulted in my life. Just grew up there which was bad enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when you have watched Wile E Coyote get blown up for the billionith time and he is still alive, when a script becomes too unbelievable the humour is lost.

ErsatzThistle Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just read Lewis Grassic Gibbon's semi-serious essay on Aberdeen, written in the 1920s. "Once in Jerusalem, I struck up an acquaintance with an intelligent and interesting Syrian. We talked ethnology; and in the course of the conversation I told him I was born in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. He was amused and pitiful, though a little hazy. "Aberdeen - it is the pariah place is it not ?". Do many East Coaster's do dry, self deprecating humour or was LGG an exception ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
