Today I had a rather bleak but sociologically interesting experience at my local Job Centre somewhere in the East End of Glasgow. Gone are the days when jobs were printed on postcards and blue tacked to the walls. Now the place is littered with futuristic looking touch-screen computer pods for all your job searching needs. I witnessed one track suited desperado punctuating each touch of the screen with a good arse-scratch. At one point I thought he was digging for tatties. One of the Serfs, sorry advisors prompted me to make use of one of these pods but I politely declined citing internet access at home. The truth is I wasn’t going anywhere near one of those things without a bottle of bleach and a pair of industrial strength rubber gloves.
The waiting area was filled to the brim with Caledonian Monomaniacs and other such mutants. One mad banshee of a woman was there with her young daughter who seemed only to answer to the name of ‘Wee Shite’.
Ned number 2 was bemoaning his ‘baw breaker’ of a girlfriend who texted him at every opportunity accusing him of cheating on her. Mrs Ned refused to believe that her man was in the Job Centre, preferring instead to believe he was fingering some poor lassie round the back of Asda.
And then there was this big huge guy who failed to grasp the fact that he couldn’t go on the dole while he was a full-time student. “But I don’t have a job,” says he. “You’re a student though, so you’re not eligible for Job Seekers.” “But I don’t have a job…” The conversation continued in this vain until I was eventually called to see my Government Serf, I mean ‘Advisor.’
One of the first things he asked was, “What is your highest level of education?”
“I have a degree in Psychology,” says I.
“Psychology? How do you spell that?”
It was at that very moment that I lost my will to live.
The Advisor then quipped, “oh, you’re not sitting there analysing me, are you?” It was all I could do not to tell him that I was fairly sure it Is impossible to analyse someone who has undergone a full frontal fucking lobotomy! To be fair though he has probably become stupid through osmosis - I’m sure spending all day with mutants can’t be good for you.

Buckfast & The Curse of Red Biddy
Is anyone else starting to feel really sorry for the makers of Buckfast? Every time a Ned goes mental and stabs someone in the head its Buckfast‘s fault. Sure it’s loaded with caffeine and booze but the Buckfast monks only ever meant for us to drink “three small glasses a day” not down three entire bottles in 60 seconds!
Despite this MSPs and other doves from above are hell bent on banning the stuff out-right. According to a BBC investigation Buckfast was mentioned in 5638 crime reports across Strathclyde between 2006 and 2009. Sounds impressive but last year alone Strathclyde Police recorded 179,254 crimes in total. So even if Buckfast was mentioned in 5638 reports last year only (as opposed to the 3-4 years) it would only relate to around 3% of all the crimes. Hardly worth panicking about, is it?
My point is that every few years the Government finds a scape goat for society’s ills. In the 1930’s for example, everyone was up in arms about ‘Red Biddy’ drinking and it‘s effects. Red Biddy (sometimes referred to as Kinky Dew) was a home-made concoction consisting of British red wine and menthylated spirits. You can imagine how that affected people!
In 1930 for example, a young servant girl was arrested for drunkenness and wilful damage after a night of Red Biddy drinking. The court was told that “this cheap but intensely powerful liquor had temporarily turned her into an animal,” and the magistrate implored her to stop drinking this “rubbishy stuff that makes almost a fiend of a woman!”
Such was the public hysteria at the time that the Scottish Secretary of State was forced into launching an inquiry into the matter. Many people even called for British red wine to be banned altogether (sound familiar?)
Should today’s MSP squawk loudly enough Buckfast may well be banned but as Conservative MEP said, “do people honestly think that if Buckfast wine is banned hooligans will start drinking tea?” Will they fuck!

Caledonian Monomaniacs
You may call them Neds but in 19th century London this particular breed of Scot became known as the Caledonian Monomaniac. They were so badly behaved that in 1843 one journalist even suggested that there should be a “tax on the importation of live Scotchmen into London,” so as to prevent them filling up the police offices and courts with their ‘monomaniacal propensities.’
Sounds like a plan but I for one don’t want to stop Neds from migrating South - the more the merrier! There should even be special Government grants to encourage them to leave Scotland altogether.
In his article entitled ‘The Deranged Scotsman’ the writer went on to argue that, “awful dangers may be expected to accrue should strange Scotsmen be allowed henceforth to go about at large without a certificate of sanity in their pockets!”
And he was right! Not only do these Caledonian Monomaniacs lack sanity but they also tuck their trousers into their socks and deep-fry their babies. Those bastards! Well, maybe not the latter but imagine how great it would be if Neds couldn’t buy a bottle of Bucky without first being declared sane.
Having potentially cured Scotland of it’s social evils I will now be running for President of Glasgow in the 2010 elections. Vote Cabbage!

Hitler gives relationship advice?!
You may have asked yourself, “where did women go for relationship advice before Dr Phil and Dear Deirdre came on the scene?” Well ladies and gentleman, the answer to this is none other than the leader of the Nazi Party -Adolf Hitler!
That’s right! Herr Hitler was once a marriage counsellor who dispensed relationship advice to his hoards of female minions.
Unbelievably in September of 1937 Hitler addressed 20,000 women in Nuremburg and advised them on how to secure happiness in married life. He told them that, “whether the two sexes want it or not - and they do want it - they have got to live with one another some how, and that is probably the best thing for married couples to remember.”
Oh that’s great. How insightful of you Fuhrer! We have to live together somehow!? How do you propose we do this then?
"What is needed is cleverness, common-sense and consideration."
So basically:
Do you think Eva Braun was in the next room giving sex tips to the male Nazi minions?!

Celeb Big Wanker
Just a few words on this year's Celeb Big Brother:
Has anyone checked Stephen (not very)Baldwin's bible for contraband? I'm certain he has hollowed it out and smuggled in drugs. It can be the only explanation!
My favourite so far is Vinnie - he just doesn't seem to give a funk. I loved him in the Midnight Meat train but i keep expecting him to go mental in the BB House and do this:
Ahhhh, no - he's killing Katia! Vinnie, nooooooo!

Glasgow Drunkenness
From an article i found today in the Scotsman dated 3rd August 1853:
"There is no drunkenness in the world so beastly and brutal than a Saturday night's drunkenness in Glasgow.
"...Groups of excited men were fighting here and there; scores were zig-zagging along in a state of tipsy exhilaration and..swinish beatitude."
Not much has changed in the last 157 years then! Plus, the newspapers are STILL moaning about it!!

Personal Statement
NHS Recruitment

Glasgow
Dear Sir / Madam
Re: JOB REF NUMBER 2894949p - MEDICAL SECRETARY
I write with a view to applying for the above post.
I am a disorganised and inefficient medical secretary with experience of working within a fast-paced NHS environment. I am now so institutionalised that i use phrases such as 'fast-paced,' 'patient journey' and 'personal development plan.' With an A in both Higher English and Higher Human Biology i have a poor grasp of the English language and know virtually nothing about the human body. In fact my knowledge of medical terminology extends to the words of, 'Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes' and on a good day i may even remember that your leg bone is connected to your foot bone.
I manage a Consultant's diary but never know where he is and i regularly minute meetings whilst in a coma. I excel at making necklaces out of paper-clips for my ineffectual colleagues and have been known to push my medical records trolley at speeds of up to 120mph.
In conclusion, i believe that with my inefficiency and lack of skills, i am perfect for working within the NHS. I possess all the necessary characteristics to perform this particular role including Histrionic Personality Disorder and the inability to type or work MS Office.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Kind regards

The Stresses of Modern Society
On 16th July 1935 Dr Alfred Cox of the British Health Resorts Association addressed the Royal Sanitary Institute Health Congress at Bournemouth. Although he joked at the end of his speech that his, “diatribe will of course be pityingly regarding by many of them as a sign of senility,” I submit that he hit the nail on the head. His description of the stresses of modern life are as relevant (and correct) today as they were 75 years ago. Dude was ahead of his time.
Dr Cox argued that, “we talk a lot about the stresses and strains of modern life, and try hard to convince ourselves that we work harder because we make more fuss about it. But many of these stresses are self-inflicted and I cannot raise any sympathy for the folk who voluntarily continue a noisy and alleged strenuous city day life into an equally noisy and strenuous time to amuse themselves at night.
Many can no longer amuse themselves. They must have a crowd to help them do it - and we are in real danger of so Americanising our lives that homes may become a mere adjunct to the garage with a bed to sleep in during the early hours of the morning.
Fashion is a tyrant which of course must be obeyed but the human body being what it is, we shall have to pay the price of fashion.
The price of always doing something or going out somewhere is a restless neurotic life in which an increasing number of people do not know what they want and will not be happy until they get it.”
Amen!!

I came across an article in an old newspaper the other day from 1927. It detailed the bizarre culinary delights of a delicatessen in Piccadilly including 9 inch sea slugs for making soup, shark fins and balachaung (rotting fish) for curries.
My favourite thing about the article though was the writer’s utter wonderment at the existence of Popadoms, which he quaintly described as a potato cake eaten with curry. heh!
They even had a sign declaring, “Smoked reindeer tongues imported from Lapland. Provides a new dainty for your delight!”
Heston Blumenthal eat your heart out.!

Macebook
As well as keeping track of friends and family on Facebook, there should be a way of monitoring your enemies and anyone you’ve ever had 'beef' with. I propose that this should be called ‘Macebook’ and there should be a function on it where you can mace your enemies in the face with a funky java-applet type thing. That would be frickin' awsome!
It would also be a good way to keep track of who is off your Christmas card list and who in your life can go fuck themselves.
There is totally a gap in the market for us anti-social types! And yes, I am aware of how passive-aggressive my idea for Macebook is. I have insight into my madness.

Glasgow Necropolis Gravestones
Most people think graveyards are dull and depressing, but what do they know?
Here are some of my favourite gravestones at the Glasgow Necropolis:
Apparently Jesus finished all the wine. No wonder he gave up the ghost, i would too. (Or was it vinegar, i forget. Most wine tastes like vinegar though so who cares?)
This next one appears to be some sort of Nazi Angel with her tits out. Note how she is also covered in bird shit. Classy...
This next guy is pretty hot for an Angel:

Glasgow vs the Gaza Strip
I once heard that the life expectancy of someone living in the East end of Glasgow is less than that of someone from the Gaza strip. If smoking, drinking or drugs don’t get you then a knife wielding Ned probably will. In horror movies the baddie is always some formidable stranger with a mask and enough discretion to get away with it. In Glasgow, it’s usually a track-suited Ned looking to rob you for his next £10 bag of heroin and he is quite happy to do this in full view of CCTV. It is unclear to me whether this is because they don’t care about being caught or they know the Police can’t be bothered catching them.
It is also my belief that potato waffles are partly to blame.

Lunch-Time Liberation Army
My name is Cabbage Cat and I am the leader of the Lunchtime Liberation Army – a movement for the abolition of working through lunch breaks. Unions fought for us to have this luxury so be sure not to waste it. Remember, this is the year 2009 and gone are the days of slavery. We do not get paid for working through our lunch breaks and you can bet your bottom dollar no one will thank you for it.
It’s time to say NO! Liberate yourself from the shackles of work for at least 1 hour* per day. Go for a walk, feed the pigeons or just hide in a toilet cubicle so no one can find you. This will leave
you feeling more alert and better able to hide from your managers and/or inept colleagues.
*Disclaimer: In the interests remaining gainfully employed, the Lunch-Time Liberation Army does not recommend taking an hour for lunch if your employer only allows 30 minutes.

Personal Space - Glaswegian Style
Glaswegians have no concept of personal space. Join a queue in Glasgow and you're guaranteed to feel some freak's breath on your neck. Maybe i'm on the autistic spectrum but i hate people i don't know touching me.
I was in line at Asda once and almost ended up giving a piggy back to the Scummy Mummy behind me, she was standing so close. I could have brained her but unbelievably 'Asda Radio' started playing ‘Don’t Stand So Close To Me,' by The Police. The irony was obviously lost on this limpet who was piling Irn Bru and potato waffles onto the conveyer belt. And they wonder why the West of Scotland has such high rates of obesity and cancer.

Glasgow Neds
Let me tell you about the Glasgow Neds. They are a breed far apart from you or I. They come in 2 sizes – the ultra skinny ones with sunken faces (usually referred to as ‘Junkie’ neds) and the enormously fat ones who survive mainly on take-away food. Both breeds dress exclusively in tracksuits and fake designer gear from the Barras. They like to tuck their trousers into their socks – not because they are cycling enthusiasts, but so they can shoplift and safely stuff their loot down their trousers. Charming, no?
They talk out the side of their mouths in a whiny, nasally voice and like to punctuate the end of every sentence with the word ‘man’. They are inarticulate, ugly, rude and stupid. They are proof that the human race is de-evolving and yet they continue to breed indiscriminately. God help us all...
