Tasty Treats


'Stupid is as stupid does' - as Forest Gump used to say.

Which was the thought that jumped into my mind when I read the bizarre story about the winner of a cockroach-eating competition - who died shortly after cowing down on dozens of the live beasties washed down with some live worms.

The venue for this madness was the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in the State of Florida.

The poor chap who won the contest yet paid with his life was a chap named Edward Archbold - probably someone of Scottish descent in the distant past if his surname is anything to go by.

30 other idiots joined in the competition though no one else died - or suffered any ill effects - which is amazing.

The prize for eating the most live cockroaches and worms - was a python, would you believe, which Mr Arhbold planned to sell to a friend.

Such a shame - but that's what you get when lots of young men try to start living the American dream - after watching too many epsiodes of Jackass.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
