Fanks for the Memory
Posted: Tuesday, 03 April 2007 |
Well Fank '07 is over and the site has been restored to normal again. You'd never know that there had been an international dating extravaganza there. Here are a couple of snaps of the fank after the clean-up, taken from the next to the cattle grid on the main road at the edge of the South Dell suburbs.
Everyone was much more quiet and well behaved this year, what with the main event being on the Sabbath. Hats were a particular feature so we all had something appropriate to take off in our communal gesture of appreciation to Calum, Donald and the organisers.
There was a bit of excitement when someone diverted the emergency services by crashing a car on the Dell Brae and running away from the wreck, but all was quite low key otherwise and the Fank Marshals kept everyone under more control than JML Slimming Pants.
Despite the Fank Committee's best efforts, Murdo John was devastated not to make it into the 'most ugly 500'. He blames Donald (who sloped off with some bit of goods called Bella from Brue who seemed no better than she ought to be). Sadly, Chrissie M and I weren't too impressed with the standard of this year's bodachs either and I'm now pinning my hopes on this fine stranger who was snapped on the peat road going out towards Tolsta.
I'm not sure if he was:
a) being the Angel of the North
b) describing a fish that he'd caught
c) runing down the road making aeroplane noises.

Fank snap

Carol asked for some snaps of the Fank. Max Clifford bought up the rights to most of the photos of Madonna, Donald, Jade Goody and Murdo John - so eyes peeled for them surfacing in the tabloids.
I don't want to disappoint Carol and her family so here's a photo of one of the Fank visitors that's visibly affected by the shennanigans. I hope this gives some idea of what Fank '07 was like without being too explicit for a family blog. This poor bewildered beast is foaming at the mouth - and its not Cremola. Tch.
I hope that Calum and Donald are taking their responsibilities seriously and organising trauma counselling for the shocked local flocks.

Niseach meanderings. (Niseachs come from Ness - the villages in NW Lewis from South Dell to the Butt.)
