Surprised this hasn't hit here yet:

The best I think -
BREAKING: Slight smell of dust burning across Scotland as third bars on electric fires are sparked up. #hurricanebawbag
My neighbour Donald's trousers blew away. I didn't know what to say to him. #hurricanebawbag

Not often I get a pang of home-sickness but this has been entertaining me today and making the wind storm reaction in Calgary a week or so ago seem blandly Canadian...

How about singing that old Andy Stewart song to him.
"Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low, through the streets in ma kilt I'll go. All the lasses say hello. Hey Donald where's your trousers ?"

Dave Scott here, reporting from the heart of Hurricane Bawbag!

To be honest, I've not seen much damage. A bit of felt has come off my neighbours shed roof, and I think I saw a plant pot roll by.

The media are having orgasms over nothing

I'm so proud

In readyness for tomorrow morning: URGENT – HURRICANE BAWBAG APPEAL

On December 8th 2011, a hurricane of biblical strength blasted across North and Central Scotland.
Victims can be seen wandering aimlessly muttering: "Ah wiz pure shittin' masel big man so a wiz, ah need some jellies".
The hurricane decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Untold disruption and distress was c......aused:

* Many were woken well before their giro arrived.
* Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish costas were damaged.
* Three areas of historic and scientifically significant litter were disturbed.
* The cone fell off the head of the statue outside Glasgow’s Modern Art Gallery.
* Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Scotland.
* One resident, Pocahontis McGlinchy, a 17 year old mother-of-three said "Ah wiz like ‘Whit’s that? Ah,canny hear ma choonz innat man’ Wee Beyonce came running into my bedroom pure howlin so she wiz. My youngest two, Brooklyn an Blackpool slept through it. I was still pure rattlin when I was watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning."
* Apparently though, looting did carry on as normal.
* The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Buckfast to the area to help the stricken masses.
* Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings including benefit books and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Clothing is most sought after. Items required include:
- Sovvy rings
- Baseball caps
- Shell suits
- Tesco two stripe trainers
- White socks
- Chunky gold chains

Food parcels may be harder to put together but are necessary all the same. Required foodstuffs include:
- Mutty Pies and Buckfast
- Hauf Pizza Suppers and Buckfast
- Mars Bars and Buckfast
- Kebabs and Buckfast
- Haggis Suppers and Buckfast
- Fray Bentos Pies and Buckfast

* £2 buys chips, scraps and ginger for a family of four.
* £10 can take a family to Coatbridge for the day, where children can sniff glue and spike up among the national collection of stinging nettles.
* 22p buys a biro for filling in a spurious compensation claim

I refuse to believe that there is anybody who has access to a computer who has not seen this joke recycled at least a couple of dozen times over the past 15 years.

This, along with the one about the Space Shuttle and Roman horse's arses, must surely qualify for The Oldest Joke On The Internet.

I was going to say that, it's usually related about Essex, with just a few different names and different things wanted.
