You really did make it up
Whoever is behind the Alasdair Allan website (in the best traditions of Private Eye, and particularly Craig Brown) has done a marvellous job.
Reading the Gazette today, you can see that they have got the phrasing and stlye totally spot on.
I've added a link from this website, but as that blog doesn't allow comments, please feel free....

funniest thing I've read in ages,
kind of sad actually. Rather than engaging in a reasoned debate someone has decided to snidely snipe from the sidelines, pathetic if you ask me
A classic case of someone with too much spare time. The Devil makes work for idle hands...
eyoop, I understand that a sense of humour bypass is not reversable. Try lying down in a darkened room.
Hahaha! I see that one hit home!
Hilarious! I think Mr Allan is testing his market.
Loved it!
Hysterical. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next episode.
I agree with madeddieh and eyoop to be honest. Not really that funny and why no chance for comments? I think AA is doing a good job so far and picking on things like him living in a rented house or driving slowly is quite personal. If it was all about politics that's one thing but why get personal? I was hoping for some good laughs from the comments some people have made - I'm left disappointed.
Why no chance for comments indeed. Publishing a blog like this totally anonymously and with comments closed is an act of cowardice. The internet's handy for such people.
Superb stuff. Can't wait to see the ABM diaries. Especially the entries regarding his exploits in the Orknies and Shetland's two years ago. I bet they will even put Alan Clarks diaries to shame.
I prefer this one

Why? For for a start, its an original blog, blogged DURING the campaign, and the dates aren't faked unlike that shabby A Allan blog.
sad, sad, sad, sad...
Great and very funny, waiting for the next installment.
For those wanting to leave comments, I think you will find that it is a diary rather than a blog although the blog medium has been used to deliver the message.

In other words, the blog author has bottled out. It's so...unpleasant receiving criticism anonymously isn't it? (Think about that).
The blog/diary/whatever you want to call it, is the work of an amadan.
Being in the public eye means being the target of abuse. Obviously Allan and his sycophants can't take anything other than adoration for their poor, pathetic, little MSP.
Grow up and get a life. He has four years of this to contend with.
"Being in the public eye means being the target of abuse."
Well put...and there's no shortage of abuse around. Add this blog to the pile. Exactly how does the AA creative masterpiece help anything at all, except to massage the author's ego?
Anonymous - at least he's in the public eye.
Unlike your losing candidate AlMo, who was "Missing, presumed fed" in the restaurants of Edinburgh for several years, choosing the last 3 months before the election to suddenly make a belated attempt at retaining his seat.
A shame he was on the islands so infrequently he forgot some of his Gaelic through lack of use, and had to be coached in the language before his crammed round of Outer Hebrides visits. Those visits being, on reflection, a "farewell tour" ...
AlMo LOST. AA WON. Some people got over it and moved on. The rest comment on here ...
Good work Angus, you have drawn out the real behaviour of the politicans.
I voted SNP (the party NOT the person) for the first time in May, being a floating voter, just like I think you were.
You slagged Labour last year and this without a squeak of complaint from them. Mention the SNP in any adverse way, and the paranoia kicks in, just like you said it did.
Look, if you want my vote again, grow up and enjoy satire. If you can't then that's us through.
The Alasdair Allan blog is funny, cutting and distinctly cruel. That's waht makes it so good. He is our MSP and if he can't take it then he should resign.
Eyoop, get a life (and a sense of humour) This is funny. It might give AA some much needed PR as he doesn't seem to be able to do it himself.
Is some of this hitting a raw nerve with the local SNP contingent? I think so, eh, Eyoop?
Damn funny, whoever is the author, keep it up
Oh well, you carry on amongst yourselves. I'm off to get a life...do they still sell them in Woolies or do I have to go to Amazon.com? I'd rather buy local.

Who is the comedian. Look around you and what has been delivered in the Islands over the last 8 years. In fact the first thing you see when you open the SNP office is the multi-million pound Bridge Centre.
the SNP to be fair, have done well for their 1st hundred days (or so) in office. But our local branch is substandared - like the stuff we too often get in the Co-op!
