Stu Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is always worth a chuckle: http://apiln.blogspot.co.uk/ And from their archives come possibly the finest local newspaper story ever.

Hedgecutter Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yep, got murder/suicide written all over it. I do enjoy reading about how great people's lives are on Facebook/Twitter, when in reality they're probably utterly miserable. Definitely murder, probably when Blair comes home and doesn't get his dinner until 5:31. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryfield Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sorry guys, I and many others in Ayrshire can only contribute once a week. I was hoping the Dundee and Paisley guys would chip in every day seeing they have local daily papers. Anyway, not to worry...I'll have a swatch at "The Post" on Friday and chip in some more. (I don't buy the Advertiser) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryfield Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Don't know it it's just coincidence, but since this thread got put up, I do believe the "Ayrshire Post" has improved a wee bit. Terrible puns and speeling mistakes have gone down a good bit. I can't find anything worth slagging in this weeks paper. It's still shite mind ye. Annie fae Patna selling a hoover.... sheesh. Headlines I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlines I think. Next week will be more interesting I bet, something along the lines of: AYRSHIRE WOMAN CHARGED OVER VACUUM AD A Patna woman was charged this week for false advertisement... in relation to a vacuum cleaner for sale in your very own Ayrshire Post small ads section. Troubles arose when Annie Coyleton advertised her vacuum as a Hoover despite it being a Dyson. Hoover is a brand name of a particular make of vacuum cleaner despite many people still using the term for any form of machine. She received a visit from trading standards but refused to cooperate with them over something "stupid and trivial". For the full story, buy your copy of the Ayrshire Post today.

Jamie_B Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It's brilliant that this stuff is deemed newsworthy. This is pointless even by Tully standards. That one was a bit of a head scratcher when it popped up on Facebook yesterday. I didn't see it in either of the print editions when they came through during the day! Totally bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Aye, that appeared on my newsfeed too. How odd. Can't wait for the headline "Man drunk in pub" to appear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Today's Greenock Telegraph... ICONIC group The Stone Roses have been immortalised as GNOMES by a Greenock music fan — and he’s revealed that the band adore his ingenious invention. Have garden gnomes and the word ingenious ever been used in the same sentence before?

The Master Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Perhaps not strictly in the spirit of the thread, but the "Eating Out" feature in the "Tully" on Wednesdays makes Tam Cowan look like Matthew Fort. It's very much "where did a reporter have their tea last night?" http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/life/food-life/restaurant-review-second-choice-was-a-fab-find-1.158693 http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/life/food-life/restaurant-review-fine-tasty-fare-for-the-family-1.155720 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not read the Greenock Tele for ages, but I still recall the day the Variorum section mentioning that a flock of geese had been seen flying over the town on their way south for the winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
