This blog was conceived after the Scottish Cup Final of 2004 when Celtic played Dunfermline. The idea was discussed in The Last Post pub in Paisley late at night as a means of allowing us to share news, opinions and post links of mutual interest. The date of the Final was 22 May.
Great post Bobby. I think I'll add it to my Bebo profile. Then no doubt I'll get a few friends who will say "uh.. Tony.. not another borin political thingway..zzzz Bebo isnae fur political stuff".
OK then, political ideas are taboo I will desist, but please do continue to send me 40 spam messages a day telling me that if I count to 10 do a handstand and then press Alt-F4 on my PC my crushes name will appear on the screen for 5 seconds. Or send me the e-mail that I should cc 38 to friends and some poor barsteward at Marks&Spencer/Sanisburys/B&Q and I will automatically be sent a cheque for £200 Or that if i send this pishy e-mail to 147 people in my address book Bill Gates will personally fly to Afghanistan and pay a young one-legged orphan boy $10 for every e-mail. blah blah blah... Presumably Mr Gates has got a flexible ticket.
Recently I complained to an acquaintance about this mentality and the guy said "well yeah but Bebo isnae fur politics its for fun.." He then proceeded to whine on for half an hour about the managers in his workplace getting bonuses off the back of the worker's labour and how their conditions are getting shafted at every turn.
The big guys have got it all sewn up right enough.
