Is there a nun, a priest, a pregnant woman, a disgraced ex-cop, present?

Usually if there's one or all of the above, chances are you're in a disaster movie.  Now we could add Scottish Football Association referee.  So picture the scene, the Brooklyn Tunnel at rush hour.  We know its going to cave in and drown (almost) everyone but we have to go through the preamble as the traditional list of victims get in their cars and drive into the doomed tunnel - the father fighting for custody of the kid who he's taking back to its mother; the jewish father estranged from his faith and family; the nun, the priest, the gangsta with a heart of gold, Gordon Brown, the disgraced ex-cop who will redeem himself and now the SFA referee.  If he's present we can all be rest assured it's going to be a cracking disaster movie.  Of course I'm not referring to any person or any Sunday game held in Paisley but mearly just an observation on a new Hollywood tradition.

I'm going to try and post this link to last weeks Kickabout and see if this is a good way of posting the show.  Try it out and see if it works - the show contains no zombies, vampires or pudsey bears (which make up 80% of all televisual output) but I'll see what i can do for next week.

The Kickabout Is Alive

Forgive me gaffer for I have sinned - it has been ages since my last blog...believe me it wasn't my fault.....what do you mean gaffer?  You want me to lie, eh, you're wanting me to say I WAS to blame...that I, on the sidelines of the game was responsible for this decision...not to blog.
(note to reader, only remotely amusing if you have read anything to do with referees in Scotland in past 10days)
No, its not so, it was you gaffer, you told me me not to blog.....blah de blah and on and on......

This is about as interesting as the actual incident...who cares about dougie saying this and the wee guy saying that when we could all be hearing about Cupids and sex in Tommy's house, in The Sheridan Trial.  Sod yer referee-gate and lets talk about Pole-Gate and why Cupids from the outside looks so shit.

But thats not why I've suddenly appeared to talk to a vacuum of people - The Kickabout is back, it really never went away but we're on itunes and still pulling in almost as many people people as Tommy did at the height of his powers.

Seemingly in Cupids there were videos of people getting humped, playing all over the place on big screens....wonder how St Mirren DVD's made it down there.  Maybe fell out of Tommy's bag on an earlier trip.

Oh and if you think I think he did then no I don't.  How could anyone when talking about Cupids not have a big smile on their face, I mean come on...lets be 'aving you.

I'm just about to call Mickey Weir to discuss our showfor this week, the last 4 weeks we've been at The Hilton at Edinburgh Airport and very nice people they are too although they refused point blank my suggestion of a sex club in the new lounge which is getting built....come on, how many politicians and footballers pass that road end every week....we'd be millionaires i tell you meeeeelionaires.

So yes, I'm starting a new offensive to tell you or warn you of a new live show called The Kickabout Live...details to follow...not to follow follow...cause that would suggest a football allegiance...whereas I'm aligned to the stars, like Uranus and Frings (torsten's father's double-act name from the 70's..big big stars in the Potsdam oompah circuit)

So check out itunes and search for The Kickabout as http://www.kickaboutscotland.com/ is still a work in progress.  I may ask that top Church Of Scotland guy to take it over as I need a Moderator.
