Yes, to the immense annoyance of the people who have already paid £89.99 for a year’s subscription, I’m bringing down the cost of being part of the GLINNER SUPERFANS CLUB to a mere £49.99 a year! I think it would make a great Christmas gift, not only for the Father Ted/IT Crowd/Black Books/Big Train/ Brass Eye fan in your life, but for your Friend Who Is Not Really Sure What’s Going On In The Gender Debate But Wonders What The Fuss Is All About. If they thought The IT Crowd was crazy, wait’ll they get a load of the
I felt guilty signing up to your Glinner update for free last week, but your £50 offer means I’ve now cleared my conscience with a Mumsnet flannel wash. I’d love to contribute more because I’ve watched silently from the sides and seen you go into battle in a way that I can’t. However it would mean having to give up my craft gin, and there are limits to my radicalism. I write for the Mirror newspaper but my job is to cheer the old dears up, not put the fear of God into them about sexual deviants in M&S loos. So while I need to use my Twitter account for work, I’m relieved to be somewhere I can be free to talk. In the meantime, I’m doing all I can, quietly from the inside, to stop the relentless march of the wokists…
The fried Mars Bar thing used to be a joke, based around how much we love deep fried food. I mean, my generation of Scots certainly did love frying things when I was growing up. I loved deep fried pizza and chips (pizza suppers) and deep fried haggis (haggis suppers) from the chippy. Loved fried tattie scones and black pudding, back in the day, and I was born and raised in Glasgow. These days, my diet is vastly improved, but I'd still give a deep fried tattie scone a go if one was on offer.
But yeah, it was a joke, that's all, the Mars Bar thing, blending the notion of how much we love sweet things and frying things. Then some eejit decided to actually try it. Last time I visited Glasgow, years ago, they were selling deep fried Mars Bars in some of the chippies, I can only surmise for the tourists. So I tried one and it was DISGUSTING. Not even slightly edible, really really bad. I hope the notion died the death it deserved to die, but they did try it for a while, based on a self deprecating joke that some eejit decided was actually true :(

Oh hey good for you. Keep doing what you can and thank you!
Wonderful ☺️, Graham is being generous with subscription, it seems 😀, hope to see substack family growing then. Fingers crossed 🤞
All the Scots who support you are also clearly alcoholics and eat nothing but deep fried Mars bars (I’ve never seen one when in Scotland).

Perhaps the Award could consist of a deep fried Mars bar? It would be richly deserved.
Laughing. Yes, that would be a punishment for sure.
I’m an East Coast Scot. We are all ashamed by the Deep Fried Mars Bar nonsense.
Deep fried pizza?! Wow - I've always thought pizza was greasy enough without being deep fried!
That said, I'm rather partial to deep fried camembert 🤷♀️
Deep fried pizza is yum.
I'm taking your word for it.
Hilarious! Can’t wait for Awards Season!
Worth every penny! If the Superfans Club reaches the 1,000,000 mark (I seriously hope it will) will the subscription be reduced to 50p?
If it passes the 1M mark, we'll have won the damned Culture War!
Great value! Will switch to this when I’m paid next week 😊
Brilliant!
I was on the daily free, but just joined monthly subscriptions now
