One year to the day after the terror attack on Glasgow Airport, John Smeaton talks from New York City 30th June, 2008.

“Thank you everybody. Without your support it would have been a lot harder to get through this unbelievable year. It’s been absolutely brilliant, fantastic – I’ve met so many people. I’ve been to places I never ever thought I’d see in my life… New York… London… Barcelona… New York… New York! Manchester… Leeds… all over the world.

It just shows you how great the human race is… so many wonderful people… its been very humbling… but your support and the thousands of messages over this whole crazy year has been brilliant… and along the way if I’ve given you all a laugh… its all been worth it… every second of it…

I’ve quit my job, and I am on a wee journey right now… in more ways than one. I am in New York and then I am going to the West Coast.

I don’t know where it’s going to take me but one thing’s certain… I will always go home to Scotland… to Glasgow… always. Make no mistake about that. The other day someone wrote me an email and said ‘You can take the Smeato out of Scotland, but you can never take The Scotland out of Smeato.’ and that’s the truth.

My great Uncle Stevie, when I was a lad, he’d take me fishing, and he always told me ‘John what’s for you… will never go by you.‘ But you know, sometimes you have to stick your hand out and grab it.

It’s there and it’s for you…

But if you don’t notice it… it’ll go by you.”

I AM NEVER LEAVING GLASGOW! I’LL NEVER Leave Scotland!

Smeato was Spotted in London by our man in Claridges Thursday morning deep in animated conversation over his porridge with one of the UK’s leading politician leaders. Smeato we can exclusively reveal was on a flying top secret 12 hr visit to confer at the very highest levels of government…

THE BIG STORY TONIGHT

SMEATO is being lined up to take over from Gordo!

Yes tonight Westminster is awash with frenzied rumoours that SMEATO is being implored to take over as  Prime Minister should Gordo be forced out as the economy falls off a cliff.

It is not widely generally known that Smeato is not just a world famous baggage handler hero but is also a Nobel Prize winning economic genius.

Smeato- as well as being able to sort out 320,853 missing bags single handed in 24 hours at Heathrow’s new Terminal 5 in March also was solely responsible for the Icelandic banking sectors against all the odds survival and the economic miracle success story that has made The Republic of Brazzaville Congo the world’s richest country.

Did you know that? Of course you didn’t did you? Go on admit it.

In the Great Man’s own words “you didn’t have a scoobie !”
