History Repeating Itself - the 麻豆官网首页入口 Clearances

With the closure of island blogging by the 麻豆官网首页入口 islanders are once again being thrown out of their homes and having to move to new sites - it's the clearances all over again! Fat cat lairds at the 麻豆官网首页入口 in Glasgow are clearing the site so they can up sticks and come grouse shooting and set up their wind farms on our beloved islands. As we speak The Corries,Runrig and Andy Stewart ( some mistake surely) are all busy recording protest songs against the cyber clearances and 麻豆官网首页入口 Alba are planning a Christmas Special on the subject headed by that thin Barra fellow from River City and the platinum blonde woman who is on practically everything else. How come Arnish Lighthouse hasn't even whimpered ( has he accepted the Beeb's shilling) or white settler not written a protest poem? Chrissie Mary Morrison (Miss) is the only one allowed to take things lying own - the rest of you where's your spirit gone and Donald says he knows where his has gone! It makes my blooboil when I see you all posting on this new hyphenated site - hyphens are so Hyacinth Bouquet!
I'm going to keep posting until, like that litttle Pepperami there is nothing of me left.

Fank Sponsor's Whereabouts In Doubt

Sir Torquil Stanford, entrepreneur and sponsor last year's Dell Fank has gone into hiding causing a stampede on the First Bank of Habost which rents the former Post Office in South Dell. A queue of several cailleachs and bodachs waited patiently outside the portakabin for news of their savings. Meanwhile Sir Torquil has left his luxury penthouse at the Habost Hilton ( behind the water tower chust past the Free Church Manse which is bigger than the Hilton!) saying he was off to some communions on the mainland.
Sir Torquil first came to prominence when he turned up at the Dell Fank site last year with a perspex box filled with Scottish One hundred pound notes and a tonne of Penny Dainties. He was photographe gladhanding many of the Fank Committee and at one stage bouncing Chrissie Mary Morrison (Miss) up and down on his knee.
'What a sleazebag' Chrissie Mary told our scribbler. 'He persuaded me to invest my catalogue money with him and I suppose that's the last I'll see of it.'
Later in the day Sir Torquil was found hiding under an old loom in a barn in Knockaird. He looked a broken man but promised an explanantion to all his investors in the Ness region.
The demise of the First Bank of Habost puts several events in jeopardy including the annual Skigersta Shrove Tuesday race and the Butt to Barra Pedalo Grand Prix. The President of the Ness Allotment, Common Grazing and Crowdie Commission, Calum Angus O'Bama has promised to intervene although he acknowledges that this man operates outside Ness down as far as North Uist so is outside the President's jurisdiction.
Angus Morrison 77 in the queue for his money commented 'Who'd expect a Ponzi Scheme in Ness - we've only just had the Hydro Electric Scheme. Is there a fee for this interview?'
