You can’t make this Sh1t up - Pun intended.

By The Basa ⋅ April 5, 2006 ⋅

Alan Roden of the Evening News must have been looking at his calendar when Donald ‘Teflon Don’ Anderson told him that he was thinking of DNA testing dogs poo - Yep, it is April - but is it the first!

The council who have shown great skill in IT (when they took a tree surgeon and made him Digital Captain of the city and he went with his buddies and lost in excess of £400,000 to fraud - didn’t they Mikey Rosendale, Pete McDougall and David Hillson) and they now want to build a database of all the dog sh1t in the city.

“We are making progress on tackling dog fouling but we need to target recurrent offenders. With a DNA database, we would have a permanent record that we could go back to.”

You can even tell from the quote supplied by the spokeswoman for Keep Scotland Beautiful that she thought the caller was taking the mickey - “although she said it would be extremely expensive to use as a matter of routine.”

As one of our regular contributors put it: “I have this vision of Anderson circling a snarling Rottweiler, watched by a Burberry-Capped Ned, trying to get a control sample from its arse!! Wish I could draw cartoons !!! ”

Can this really be a good way to use our council tax. We really would have loved to be in the meeting when the Council administration were discussing the setting up of the project and working out what services they would be cutting to pay for the dogshit DNA database. Of course Angus Council came up with the idea first and it was publicised on Radio Scotland. This must have been where Teflon Don got his ‘inspiration’.

I am surprised Mr. Roden never went to transport failure, Andrew “bumbling Andy” Burns for a quote, he has spent years working on sh1t projects - well that’s how they turned out anyway!

Oh yes…. This is the Inspiring Capital - not Conspiring Crapital.
