Very funny piece but a little colourful language in use so please don't view if you are offended by swears!
I like Sean Connerys letter to Apple best.

That's quality. Wedding dress story made me laugh

 

[CMAC]

some of that is hilarious...................and unfortunately to true


Sean Connerys letter looks totally fake though

Received this by email last week. The wedding dress story is hilarious and did the rounds up here around a year or so ago

Sean Connerys letter looks totally fake though

Thought the same myself...

 

[ger147]

It is indeed a fake from about 3 years ago.

I liked the rail replacement service bus! that's humour right up my street!

 

[vkurup]

That was indeed howlarious.. wedding dress, replacement bus and the visit scotland video..

Our local farmers boy made the news a few years ago with a sign.

CAUTION CRAP ON THE ROAD.

The Polis had a quiet word and agreed with him that it was indeed crap and not mud.

Up near Cape Wrath is a triangular warning sign with a pig in the middle. They have free range wild boar.

And finally.

Years ago on the Inverness to Fort William road some artist had skillfully changed a sheep inside a triangular warning sign to a wooly mammoth.

I see Lord Soapy is about to release the name of the new Forth crossing today.

I wonder if my suggestion of The Third Bridge will be accepted.

Salmonds Leap?

Why not just The Forth Crossing? or The New Fife Link?

 

[ger147]

The Queensferry Crossing is the new name, how uninspiring

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

but you know that it'll get called something else pretty quickly - see the new bridge over the Clyde in the city centre - now known as 'The Squinty Bridge' Rather goes with the squinty thinking of many Glaswegians.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I shall start the ball rolling on that one.

The Third Forth Fife bridge.

 

[ger147]

My thinking is perfectly fine thanks!!

The new Queensferry Bridge is already referred to in the west as "What bridge?", quickly followed by "Whereabouts is that?"

 

[ger147]

I shall start the ball rolling on that one.

The Third Forth Fife bridge.

The third crossing over the firth of forth. What's so confusing about that?

 

[wrighty1874]

Considering the bridge will be between North and South Queensferry, it must have taken a lot of brainstorming to come up with that name!!!!!!!

 

[Doon frae Troon]

The Queens ferry dates back to Queen Margaret so quite a bit of history there.

However it is a bridge now not a boat.

As long as nobody onterpreted it as a request!

 

[SocketRocket]

As long as nobody interpreted it as a request!

Like the sign in my locals toilets: 'Wet Paint'
