LOCAL HERO



Over 1,400 pints are paid for and metaphorically lined up, on the bar at the Glasgow Airport Holiday Inn with John Smeaton’s name on them.


He achieved overnight fame in the hours after the Glasgow Airport attack when he delivered his now famous message to terrorists: “This is Glasgow – we’ll just set aboot ye.” A self-effacing lad, he states “anyone else would have done exactly the same as me.”

Jokes in his honour are now on a website, here, set up by a fan.

And now we have the Glasgow Humour:

Police today named the the Glasgow Airport terrorists as Sinj Mahjeep and Bashur Doorin. Both have confessed to celebrating the Muslim feast of Ramavan.

One of the Glasgow Airport terrorists is in hospital eating haggis, drinking whisky and reciting poetry. Apparently he is in the Burns unit.

Great blog, thanks for using Songspots. You probably figured this out
already, but you know that you can add the Songspot directly to the posting
too, which would relate it more closely with the actual topic.

Anyway, thanks for the nice pictures, keep up the good work!
