Lights, Camera, Inaction. Make-up please!

This picture has nothing to do with the story. We just like the picture ;-)

CoonsilTelly is getting ready to be launched – the eco-people have gotten their first manifesto promise through and the BurnDownie administration is less than a month old. Soon we will see all the AyePad equipped Coonsilors will be rushing down to Jenners to catch up on the new make-up techniques they will have to master before the first episode of CoonsilTelly hits a computer screen near you.

Teeth Milligan will get an extra whitening and will in future use only half bottles of Buckfast so he can slip it neatly into his inside pocket. Cardownie will be adding a facial moisturizer to his napper. Spreading it liberally and working into his skin until all of the moisturizer has been absorbed. Taking a thin cotton towel he will polish the napper the way one would polish the bumper on a car. A few good swipes will do we are told. Andrew Burns, being the careful type, will wait until the second council meeting after seeing how Cardownie’s napper appears first.

They will all be popping down to one of the ring of pearls on Princes Street, Primark, to get new gear for the monthly appearance. The senior council officials of course will be heading to Harvey Nicks not wishing to slum it with the likes of Fatty Bridgeman, LazyBoy Cairns or Cammy ‘the connection’ Day.

Forget CBBC and CBeebies, everybody get ready for:

Edinburgh Council TV Station

Edinburgh Council's Internet TV Station so Dawe/Mackenzie can see what going on.
