#BEASTFROMTHEEAST

Everyone was bracing themselves yesterday for the arrival of the ‘Beast from the East’, a Siberian front that is threatening to bring snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures to Scotland. It is expected to hit the British Isles next Monday. @jaffcakejake12 said: “Can’t wait maybe as good as 2010” @Ianbarrett911 said: “It’s totally to early to call. Plenty of time for a total no-show. We’ve got to get to Fridays models really before there is any certainty.” @Thehairyhaggis said: “Put simply, this is just remarkable! Unprecedented in the modern era for the longevity, the depth of cold and snow and the implications across the country, especially the East.”

#KFCCRISIS

KFC has made headlines this week, after a number of stores across Scotland and the rest of the UK were forced to close due to a severe chicken shortage. KFC explained it was a result of bringing “a new delivery partner on board”. @Maxbevis said: “Our parents lived through the Cold War and the fear of nuclear bombs. Our grandparents had the Nazis and WWII. This generation loses its **** because it can’t buy a Zinger Tower Meal from ******* KFC” @Harryhomangreen said: “To that person who got the final ever #KFC bargain bucket, good luck my friend!” @Jackfrost1706 said: “KFC runs out of chicken. Why don’t they sell limited edition Kentucky fried pigeon instead”

#ELISECHRISTIE

A disappointing Winter Olympics for Scots speed skater Elise Christie came to an end yesterday as she was disqualified from the 1000m heats. It was a sad end for Christie who suffered bad luck from day one. @Clairedavy said: “Elise you are an amazing young woman and make us all proud, bring on Beijing x” @Emmaric42967966 said: “@Elise_christie just watched and am devastated for you. You’re obviously destined for Beijing in 4yrs. We will all be behind you. Good luck for the next 4yrs”
