The Glasgow Dentist

Carl Parker's picture

I understand you don't want people like him advertising here on the blog, but at the same time I was interested in seeing how many replies would be appended showing no interest in his offers whatsoever.
I was also hoping Brother James Blast might have gone and paid him a visit. Ye Ken?

Eh?

I don't understand this at all......

Sorry

There was a long spam posting from a dentist from Glasgow advertising his services. A few of us managed to get stupid responses in before it was removed.

Cold War

I think it's meant to activate Commie sleepers in key roles in the massive.

It ain't advertising.

It's spam.

And, in all likelihood, The Glasgow Dentist will never return to see if we've commented on his thread, as he'll be too busy pasting the same entry into other forums and blogs, in the hope that Google will notice all the sudden interest in his business and rank his website more favourably when people search for dentists in the Glasgow area.

This kind of behaviour is frowned upon in most reasonable circles and, if we allowed it to continue at The Word, could result in us being seen as a "bad neighbourhood" by Google, and our own ranking reduced.

Sick 'em, Fraser!

I hope he's not my dentist. I need root canal work.

Pedant's note

Glaswegians don't say "ken". (as I have no idea what this article actually relates to, forgive me if Brother Blast is actually from Ayrshire, Dundee, Aberdeen or the Lothians, where ken is frequently used.)

Weegie

born, breid and still domicile but between 77 and 81 I studied at Dundee art school (shared a flat with a reet bloody Yorksheerm'n) then between 83 and 85 I worked in Falkirk. "Ken" is part of the lingo in both towns so naturally I assimilated, "appen" also part of my vocabulary was picked up from my flatmate. Brer Carl and I 'ken' each other from the first incarnation of this forum as well as another safe haven on't web, hence the familiarity. 'Appen' the Glasgow dentist post has been removed by 'Hawkeye' Lewry by now so I can't comment, instead I'll finish with a joke...
Wee wumman goes to a new dentist, he sits her in the chair, let's her get settled then asks:
"Comfy"
Wee wumman: "Govan"

aye thengyew
