The Fling Insider is back...


Hmm... I see posters around the town inviting people to take part in this Fling Talent Show thingy.


Looks like these pathetically cheery

THANK YOU! Your help would be gratefully received!


Fling people are determined to carry on with this daft idea. Singers, dancers, musicians, jugglers, comedians - in Dunblane?? I don’t think so! I can’t imagine why anyone would want to appear on stage at the Vicky Hall anyway - the piddling dancing dog’s already got it in the bag. Waste of time for anyone else really... Not only that,


I hear that the next bright idea


is a ‘Fling by the River’ Community Picnic on the Green. Really? Dunblane is a community?? With people who actually want to talk to each other? That’s news to me! I don’t even say hello to the guy next door. He goes off on his train in the morning and goes back into his house when he’s home each evening. Good! They’re welcome to their Community Picnic thingy, and their plastic duck race, and their pipe band and cheery music and dancing and story-telling and all that stuff . A Dunblane man’s house is his castle, I say. So I’ll be pulling up the drawbridge and keeping well away from the Green and all these Flingy thingy people. Anyway, everyone knows that if they hold a picnic on the Green, it will just rain. Defi nitely, for sure, without doubt, it will absolutely certainly pour buckets. You mark my words. You heard it here fi rst. And when it does, I’ll blame the Fling committee. There will be kids with muddy wellies tramping through other folks’ food, drookit Flingy people trying to look happy, miserable Dunblane folk crowding into marquees, the ice-cream man looking as woeful as one of his drippy 99s. But it was a nice sunny day last year, I hear you say! Folk had a great time on the Green. Even the kids nearly behaved. Yes, maybe - but that was because that merry bunch of Fling people DIDN’T have a Community Picnic thing last year!!


It’s obvious. Hold a picnic on the Green,


or try to get Dunblane people to be cheery and nice to each other, and it will defi nitely rain. You mark my words. You heard it here fi rst. www.dunblanefl ing.com
