NEWSFLASH!

From Kenny Ken, Staff Reporter, VBD Times:

It has come to our attention that a ghostly, wraith-like apparition will be ‘shadowing’ the aforesaid Manmotor on his Bulgarian mission. Toy shop owners in Plovdiv have already begun barricading and sandbagging their premises ahead of Manmotor’s arrival. However, in Sofia, the capital, vendors are defiant, challenging Manmotor to “bring it on”. It is hoped that Manmotor’s ghostly companion will be a moderating influence on his worst excesses and minimise the toy shop carnage that will inevitably occur.

Stay tuned for further developments on this story!

Naturally if your Clan is Campbell we shall be offering our services to the Bulgarians instead.

Well said!

I am a MacDonald sympathiser, i spit on the ground the Campbells dare to walk on!

DRAT! I'VE BEEN RUMBLED...................

OK lads, yes the VBD Times general editor is going along with "manmotor", OH SOD IT! even that secret is out now, yes it was "motorman" all along and between us, we are just popping into Bulgaria and having a nice cup of tea with their leader and a nice little chat about certain Matchbox models, now, while my back is turned, I am not responsible for "motorman's" actions, if he wants to go off on a tangent and give someone a Chinese burn, then I am sorry, that person must have been asking for it!

Hopefully nothing as serious as that will happen, we are adults and a little chat between us, will probably be all it will take to halt those Bulgarian models.

Yours sincerely, the general editor,
Ghosty.

From Kenny Ken, Staff Reporter, VBD Times:
-----------------------------------------------------
It's official - the shadowy spectre has revealed himself as none other than Ghosthunter, aka Ghosty!! There's no doubting his best intentions to placate both sides of this long-running feud, but it is feared that his mediation will be of no avail, as Manmotor, oops, 'Motorman' is determined to unleash his righteous fury on those hapless Bulgarian Matchbox dealers.

Here at VBD Times, we'll keep you posted on events as they unfold - stay tuned!

CAN WE JUST HAVE A FEW MOMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE IN GLASGOW ON THIS, THEIR MOST SAD DAY, DUE TO THIS MORNINGS CRASH...............................

Thank's.

[nickjones]

Yes, my 2 kids and 9 grandkids plus many other family members and quite a few friends all live within 10 miles of the crash site, I believe fellow forum member Alex (Motorman) also lives and works in Glasgow. I'm pretty sure I was chatting to him here when the accident happened so I'm assuming he's ok but will be a lot happier when he posts again, where are you Alex mate...........

[matchbox360]

A very tragic event.. R.I.P. to the victims, and condolences to their families.

Hope things are OK with you, Alex, please let us know.

Cheers,
Ken

Thank's.

Hear, hear. It's been a scary afternoon for us. My sister in law, husband and 2 kids are in Glasgow for the weekend. All we knew was that they were staying in a hotel 'on the Clyde'. Mobile phone reception being what it is we couldn't get through to any of them until early afternoon. Turns out their hotel is 150 yards away from the crash site and that pub is where they were heading for dinner last night until a last minute change of plan. There is something about my sister in law - she was supposed to be going through Glasgow Airport the day those idiot terrorists tried to blow it up too. Heart goes out to anyone involved in this crash - must be devastating.
