Simple rain for simple minds
The future of community sing-alongs for special needs groups in the Highlands is in doubt today following the soaking of the intellectually challenged at Northern Meeting Park at the weekend.
A Highland Council spokeswoman said “Unfortunately, for the fifty second weekend in a row, the completely seasonal non-stop summer rains appear to have caught everybody by surprise. We are sorry that our attempt to entertain 6,000 of the Highland’s simplest of simple minds by inviting them to see the last remaining member of Big Country pretending to be a dead person in the rain has resulted in a pan-Highland head flu epidemic. We never imagined that declaring that this was a ”Summer in the City’ concert was asking for trouble and we can assure those home owners who are currently discovering that they have indoor swimming pools that we will never allow such provocative marketing to be used again until we are supplied with hard evidence that Rain Gods don’t actually exist.”
In unrelated news, Northern Constabulary have requested an urgent meeting with council officials to arrange for the town city’s curfew to be extend to include pharmacies following riots outside Superdrug on Monday shortly after the last packet of Lemsips was purchased.
