    Get Pressreader for free from the City Library service (before the philistine council bean-counters close it) and you’ll never have to negotiate a paywall again.

    I think I saw the article, but that was probably months ago. The two papers were bad enough when AJ was self-sufficient in Lang Stracht, but now that cub reporters are inputting their copy directly from their Macs in Marischal Square, that sub-editing has gone the way of the other quality checks in the case room, and naebody at union-bashing DC Thompson gives a fùck about anything north of Carnoustie, standards and quality levels are worse than they’ve ever been. What with the poverty of food hygiene regulations, neither are even deployed as mock chop supper wrappers.

    The link says that the article was in the Psychodrama & Junta on 4 January. I looked, and there’s fûck all about the boy who tested UTG’s drains when teeming the stroop either in that newspaper, or the ErsewipE which prints the same content but for toonsers.

    My recollection of the origin of the term was in Keith G*lf Club decades ago when in an attempt to import a tad of decorum when female members were in the bar, “I’m awa for a p1sh” was substituted by “I’m awa to teem the stroop” in deference to the frail sensibilities of the fairer ***/gender/fitiver. I was only ever a “house member” as the club is less that 100 yds from the family dwelling, and the beer was cheap. I have no interest or aptitude for a game that could be improved somewhat by the introduction of tackling. The R&A, however, has thus far failed to answer my correspondence on this matter.

    Everytime I hear or read the phrase 'Teeming of the Stroop', I keep thinking Willie Shakespear.

    Maybe Aberdeen students could do Teeming o the Strrop for their yearly show, as they like a play on popular titles.

    The original would, I think, be a bit of a minefield these days with its casual Elizabethan misogyny. I ken one of the Flying Pigs directors who’d love the tribute concept. I’ll ensure you get a credit if they script it and put it on.
