As you read this, advance copies of the February Spurtle are already spreading across Broughton like tears down the cheeks of a sair-hertit Livingston fan.
Page 1 wastes no time before dealing with three own goals and a stifled response to laughable performance. At one point, we advise reading between the lines. It continues with glee and even more appalling behaviour.
We cover a new approach to domestic independence on Page 2, along with new bricks on the block and a bid to clarify progress through the turbid waters of Planning.
We have the second of two fond farewells on Page 3, plus a chilling response to Frankenstein’s Monster and the realisation that it’s all right to hit a man when he’s down so long as he’s down in East Claremont Street.
Three columns of short items include top spots to eat locally, a dearth of dog dirt, rugged beauty, billiard balls, empty wrapping, sinking sensations and bad news for telescope owners in Kinghorn and Pettycur Bay.
Printed copies are available across shops, pubs, cafés, services, railing dispensers and public libraries across the barony and beyond. Those for whom paper and ink don’t cut any ice can download a colourful pdf from our website HERE after midnight tonight.
Spurtle is free, independent and produced entirely by unpaid volunteers. If you’d like to write, photograph, deliver, come up with ideas or help in some other way we haven’t thought of yet, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
