Every one is talking about how talented and gifted this unlikely creature is.

In fact any television without a strict vetting process. Her inane warblings, her emotional breakdowns and that wierd dance she does when cameras are around screams pure insanity, an insanity Im sure she has suffered for most of her life but it has only now come to the fore with all the pressure she finds herself in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is not the only Scot to embarrass us. Look at previous BIG BROTHER. Any Scottish person to become a housemate has been either mad or intorable, granted Karly in BB09 isnt too bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scotland does not want to be portrayed by these morons or by people who break down at the slightest hint of popularity, we just want to switch the telly on and not be reminded of how bad our accent sounds to others and how mad a nation we must actually be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8595310462543074080-1274413034971429823?l=scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com/feeds/1274413034971429823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8595310462543074080&amp;postID=1274413034971429823' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8595310462543074080/posts/default/1274413034971429823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8595310462543074080/posts/default/1274413034971429823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com/2009/06/susan-boyle-international-superstar.html' title='Susan Boyle.

The population of Edinburgh swells twofold and none of the locals can get anywhere without losing their tit at some dipshit tourists who always seem to take up the whole pavement then decide to stop right in front of you!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The edinburgh Fringe festival started way back in 1947. It was officially penned as the fringe festival after journalist &lt;a title="Robert Kemp" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kemp"&gt;Robert Kemp&lt;/a&gt; reported ‘Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before … I am afraid some of us are not going to be at home during the evenings!’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has risen in popularity so much that it is now one of the largest festivals in the world and most definately the largest of its kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accomodation is ussually booked up the previous year so if you do plan to visit next year, BOOK NOW!! (prices are hiked up a hell of a lot too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From dance to literature, circus acts to serious drama there is something for everyone to enjoy no matter what age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing though is the Comedy!&lt;br /&gt;Comedians from the world over gather to perform either established acts such as Ed Byrn Bill Bailey and the likes to new comers to the stand up circuit trying to grab recognition.&lt;br /&gt;Some acts and venues can be quite expensive but familiar comedians are worth paying for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fancy free Fringing?????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit The Pear Tree House. Not only do they serve good cheap scottish pies, reasonably priced outdoor barbeques and a good array of lagers and ales the also boast a Beer Garden you could land a Boeng 747 in and this is where a fringe secret gem takes place. FREE FRINGING!&lt;br /&gt;Different acts, mostly comedy, all day from 11am everyday of the festival and free.&lt;br /&gt;Its a cracking day out and a very good way to catch free fringe shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pear Tree House 38 West Nicolson Street Edinburgh EH8 9DD Tel: 0131 667 7533&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thepeartreehouse.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.thepeartreehouse.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8595310462543074080-8476768078148476159?l=scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.thepeartreehouse.co.uk/' title='Edinburgh Fringe Festival........'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com/feeds/8476768078148476159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8595310462543074080&amp;postID=8476768078148476159' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8595310462543074080/posts/default/8476768078148476159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8595310462543074080/posts/default/8476768078148476159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scotlandthewhat.blogspot.com/2007/08/edinburgh-fringe-festival.html' title='Edinburgh Fringe Festival........'/><author><name>garynewtown</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03232164075928376864</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13573846066692846250'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595310462543074080.post-2538874029422416082</id><published>2007-07-30T11:53:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-07-30T11:58:53.944Z</updated><title type='text'>a couple ay jokes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fairy Washing Up Ad in Glasgow&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Young girl washing up, takes her hands out of sink full of dish water and as she is drying them off, a young boy approaches and taking her hands into his, he begins to rub them and comments on how smooth they are.&lt;br /&gt;           Now, here is my interpretation of how the Ad should sound like, if being filmed in the infamous Gorbals area of Glasgow.&lt;br /&gt;           YOUNG BOY : 'Hey mammy!
