Hi
I haven't posted here for quite some time but I had to "come out of retirement" as it were, because I've had a great idea (even if I say so myself LOL) for a sub. But I need collaborators to help me move it on.
I thought, what with it being Wimbledon and everything, "what about a piece which plays the way the media refer to Andy Murray as British when he's winning -but as Scottish when he loses?"
Whaddya think?

Not only was Seymour Totti there before you, but Bwahaha turned the annual gag into a NiB.
Yours encouragingly, your friendly neighbourhood NB archivist.

With regards to the annual Andy Murray gag, it's a bit like watching someone slip over on the ice. You get the overwhelming desire to throw your hands in the air and shout "Wayhey"!!

Oxy, I've got a list of about 40 ideas for stories that I'm consistently not getting round to writing up. If you want some of them you're more than welcome to them. I will warn you now though that most of them are shit. Which probably explains why I haven't bothered writing them up myself and keep doing whatever else pops into my head instead.

offlineMemberOkay, okay, let's forget the Andy Murray idea. It doesn't matter - I'm inspired at the moment.
I'm sure I read somewhere that all Scottish people have a passion for deep-fried Mars bars (OMG can you imagine LOL!). How about combining that with this story on the BBC Scottish Cocaine Use?
How about "Scots biggest users of deep-fried cocaine" or something?Posted 1 year ago # -
