I didn't know that anyone read the gazette anymore let alone kept an eye on the website. It's the biggest load of s**t that I've ever read...

Now come on, it's not that good!!!
They've obviously changed the headline but the telephone number that they are asking you to ring doesn't exist. 0414 WTF is that? I think they mean 0141.
Surely an apology for this insensitive error will follow in next weeks issue, plus a donation from the paper I hope!
1.20 - Oh get off your high horse. It's inappropriate but hardly something to make a fuss about - and trust the Laziest Chicken to lamely try and score some feeble point or other. In fact drawing attention to it to make another Gazette-is-crap point is more offensive than a bit a sloppy headlining.
Yiz can all make donations though, that's a good idea.
3.00pm
SNP central office defending it's media wing.
3pm - Looks as if the cybernats haven't gone totally to ground.
3.00 here.
Oh hilarious - I'm a cybernat, am I.
To clarify: the Gazette is crap, the SNP is crap, Lazy Chicken with his cheap shots is crap and you two with your slavering howls at anything that DOESN'T openly attack the SNP, are crap. And while Labout might be the least crap of the crapped options available to us, your sort certainly doesn't do it any favours.
Do Gazette reporters think it is clever to start sentences with inappropriate verbs? The worst example in every edition is "Continuing, he said". Another over-used one is "he detailed" instead of "he said". Grr.
I have never seen news written that way anywhere else - not in professional publications anyway.
Shouldn't an editor point out writers' bad habits?
3:00 and 10:09
Can I ask, do you just blindly hate everything then apart from the sound of your own voice?
If you feel that bad about this blog, why do you read it?
12.56 - Did I say I hated anything? Far less this blog. And unlike the "I spot a cybernat" crowd I'm not blindly doing anything. IMO Lazy Chicken is lame, SNP and Labour are both very disappointing, and the SNP/Labour spats that are continuing seeping up through the floorboards here are really the lowest form of small-minded and meaningless politicking.
And the Gazette is a sorry excuse for a paper, but I think we can all agree on that.
Occasionally they start a sentence with the word 'said', e.g. "Said Mr. Brown,...".
That's rough.
This exchange is not showing anyone in a good light.
