Hello Possums,
Och aye the ‘noos’ have it; Scotch Bonnets soared high into the chilli autumnal air, as the results of the referendum were announced, confirming a positive rejection of independence. A resigned Alex Salmond conceded defeat. Gordon Broon produced a jaw dropping animated performance, providing a welcome boost for the ‘noos’. With heavy hearts the freedom fighters, sensing defeat adopted a new slogan before drowning their sorrows: ‘Bitter Together’. However the proceedings did not go without any hiccups, especially in ‘The Mary Queen Of Scotch’ bar in Glasgow, where passions were running high, as the ‘ayes’ took the vote. Things got a wee bit hairy in The Trossach’s for a while, where things could have swung either way. Consultants and staff at Edinburgh’s incontinence clinic, which relies solely on English funding for research, celebrated well into the ‘wee’ hours following the ‘noos‘ victory. Ed Milliband vastly underestimated his popularity in Scotland, as cheering supporters bore him shoulder high through the streets of Glasgow, before unceremoniously dumping him in the River Clyde. There were a fair number of abstainers, but the majority of people had a good few bevvies afterwards.
The Vatican’s cricket team recently recited the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ before receiving a blessing from Pope Francis, prior to their trip to England to take on the Anglican XI, as well as a team fielded by the Queen at Windsor Castle. The team captain, Father W C Grace, told Weedkiller’s Sport’s Correspondent that this was the first trip abroad when they were actually praying for the runs.

James Bond buffs were recently treated to an exclusive preview of the latest 007 film, Dr Maybe being filmed at Pinewood studios. The scene opens with Bond enjoying his favourite, Martini, seated at the bar of a ritzy titzy cocktail bar.
Enter stunning blonde:
“Hi James, so sorry I’m late”.
“Thatsch OK”, says Bond, consulting his watch.
“Wow James that is a very impressive time piece”.
“Yesch, Q gave it to me thisch morning for a schpecial mischion. Its brischtling with the latescht technology: it’s even capable of telepathy”.

A one armed man has been informed that he would only be eligible for a disabled parking permit, if he lost another limb. Apparently new rules, brought in by Middlesborough Council, eligibility requires ‘severe disability in both arms or a permanent or substantial disability that causes extreme difficulty in walking‘, excluding excessive alcohol consumption. Ron Sowerby was appalled by his treatment, saying that it would effectively cost him an arm and a leg to obtain his permit.
Chichester, West Sussex: The body of a dead lion was discovered in the freezer of a restaurant during a routine inspection by an environmental health officer. The corpse was stored with food intended for human consumption. The proprietor claimed that the lion had been donated by a local zoo to provide food for his dog. The inspector believed that the man was lion through his teeth, and the restaurant had been doing a roaring trade serving up the meat for mane courses. The owner has since swallowed his pride and admitted liability.
