RE: The Official Nonsense Thread
Today's Weegie Herald:
Traders are relieved by a last-minute rush to buy by Russell Leadbetter "Inside, most if not all of the shops appeared to be doing brisk business [wut?]... ....Even a stall giving away samples of professional teeth-cleaning strips had a queue [did they f***!]. The food courts were thronged [crap!]. Downstairs, at one entrance, inexhaustible supplies of shoppers came through the door. [utter crap!] "The most persistent Christmas jingle across the country was the sound of cash registers ringing on high streets and in shopping malls. Late openings, in-store sales and the quest for food and last-minute gifts all contributed to the rush, despite unpredictable weather." Um, no sorry, you are making it up Now for the best bit: "At lunchtime at Marks & Spencer in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow, a sales assistant said: "It's been busy now but it will really pick up in the afternoon and it will be absolutely jam-packed tomorrow." Marks & Spencers, eh? True this is the Argyle Street branch which is a stones throw away from the Sauchiehall Street one. But if he is trying to suggest one was jam packed (it wasn't) while the other was clearly empty from the above picture, he's been hitting the Christmas sherry too early. Do they really think making up fairy stories about "jam-packed" shops is going to get people to come out? All it does is make people say "nah, I'll do my shopping online instead". Much of the footie was wiped out up here, but Hearts still managed to stuff Dundee United 2-1. The most bizarre part of the game was the Hearts fans cheering whenever Rudi Skacel (who has scored in two Scottish Cup final winning teams for Hearts now) got the ball & chanting "Rudi we love you" whilst the fans of the team he plays for booed him mercilessly. |
