How Scottish can you get - seems the ideal candidate got the job, and the town will be poorer for the loss.

If you are too drunk for the Scots to put up with your bullshiat, you are in Rob Ford out-of-control territory. I know this, because the Scots put up with my drunken bullshiat quite well when I was there.

What did he have a Man U jersey on?

Carn		2014-07-15 12:49:30 PM

You get to wear that hat if you're mayor? I want to be mayor!

Its good to have goals.

Too well. He did his job too well.

If you can get your ass kicked to the curb in 36 Scottish pubs, you are a legend amongst pushy drunks.

Dude, you went too far

jmr61		2014-07-15 12:53:14 PM

I mean that's funny and all but what an asshole.

And the girlfriend too.

johnny_vegas		2014-07-15 12:53:56 PM

You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already

Way to go, Sport.

There is a sheep named Paula Carter?

DubtodaIll		2014-07-15 12:55:22 PM

Not even married to the guy and she's calling herself a Mayoress. I wouldn't let her in my bar either.

What map was subby looking at? Gosport is at the southern tip of England and is definitely not Scottish

Right you are, and well done. Subby is a twit.

OTOH, this is Fark and Fail headlines get more greens.

Logic, intelligence, investigation of the facts, and a well thought out argument have no place here.

'The Conservative said he does not admit any wrongdoing and blamed social media for damaging his public profile.'

Don't we all, Mayor McDumbass, don't we all.

SEE!

Now we understand the drinking.

How hard was that?

DrZiffle		2014-07-15 01:34:41 PM

all 36 pubs in his town

Must be a small town.

roc6783		2014-07-15 01:56:41 PM

Is it possible that the mayor is Scottish, but the town isn't?

She's about the average for her age. He's either been with her for a while or they are really close drinking buddies.

And now time for his replacement:

Am I understanding this correctly that they got banned at one pub. The pubs share a list of people who are banned and they got banned from all of them by being an ass in one pub? Sort of like a credit bureau of pub behaviour?

Or can I not read?

iron de havilland		2014-07-15 05:50:00 PM

Google his name, and other news reports say he's Scottish.

This is Fark, and the Admins switch out links that subbys post for featured partners these days, don't they?

Pretty sure I saw a post from Drew in the past couple of months that they'd do that.

That's the meaning I understood too. Do you think it's a bad thing? Seems properly sensible to me; pub owners buddying up and telling each other that the arsehole's not worth the trouble.

SithLord		2014-07-15 08:55:31 PM

Still a safer job than a police chief in Mexico.

No, just that the headline made it sound like he had gotten barred from 36 pubs in a month, as if he was being an ass in each of them which is quite a feat. I mean, there's some days where he would have to be a raging dick more than once.
