SNP soccer session spoiled by speccy strongman :"who is that?" ask bemused footie fans
Hopes of a quiet afternoon watching World Cup soccer were spoiled on Saturday when a mystery strongman insisted in spoiling fans' enjoyment of the game.

SNP activists had congregated in Perth to watch the match between Saudi and Germany, "We didn’t have anything better to do" one disapointed fan explained" so we were just settling down to watch the match on the big screen when this guy just wandered up to the front and totally blocked the view."

SNP activists could only look on in frustration as John "Stromboli" Swinney demonstrated just how tough he would be in achieving SNP hopes for independence. Aided only by a diamanted Fiona Hislop he performed a series of feats of strength including tearing a phone book in half with his bare hands - using a radical technique of disposing of each page in turn.

A clearly pissed off activist told the JT: "After half an hour, he’d only got up to the "Cs" and Germany had scored three times."

Demonstrating his clear intention to "clear anyone out of my way" on the road to independence Mr Swinney then executed a series of Kung Fu style moves while making "Hee-yah!" noises although an attempt to break through a pile of bricks resulted in Mr Swinney nursing a badly bruised hand while making "Ooyah!" noises.

Mr Swinney dismissed speculation that he was merely a caretaker leader of his party before stacking up the hall chairs, switching off the lights, locking up and going for a half pint of shandy prior to retiring for the night.

Inside: "I’m thinking of just letting John write these gags himself" confesses JT editor.
