Twice the read and not crossing the Tweed.

Posted on Monday, July 14th, 2008

Early.                                  The Curvaceous Bentley and I correspond by text and Email quite a lot. Mostly about Spartans but sometimes about football in general. Was it John Prescott who had the “two Jags”? I can’t remember because as you know I’m a Scottish Nat and therefore not interested in politics.

Anyway, what am I talking about? Oh, aye – Every time I get a text from Moira it comes in duplicate, sometimes it even arrives three times. It’s a bit like that old joke about the Irishman sitting the Highway Code part of his Driving Test.

“What does a yellow line at the side of the road mean?” asks the Instructor. “No Parking, to be sure sur” replies the Irishman.

“What does two yellow lines at the side of the road mean?” the Instructor asks again. “No Parking, to be sure, to be sure sur” Sam’s cousin replies.

Moira covered Sir Alex and his return to Pittodrie on Saturday but I got a text from her (well two) wishing us all the best and asking me to text her the score. She must also know Steven Tweed or be interviewing him for the SOS as she’d been winding him up and wanted me to say she’s going to divulge his “dodgy secrets.”

Have you seen the size of him? There was no way I was going to be other than very polite to the big man. I wasn’t going to cross the Tweed (boom boom).

He played well. To be honest East Fife passed the ball really well especially in the first half, but they just couldn’t break us down. The game meant more to us than it did to them and it showed in the end.

Back to Mr Tweed – I don’t know if he was hanging about or not but half an hour after the game as I headed upstairs for a cup of tea he was there at the reception area waiting to shake my hand and wish us all the best.

A nice gesture Mr Tweed and appreciated – you can finish your career with us if you want.

How can Moira “Two” Bentleys have anything dodgy to say about a gentleman like that?
