Hollywood Legend Pictured In Edinburgh

Family Day Out
It could have been any father out for the day with his boys to watch some cricket at Portgower Place on Sunday. But this wasn't just any family outing. Original James Bond star, McGill Collins, took his boys to the set of 90's blockbuster 'The Masterton Files' and regaled the youngsters with the tale of how he bowled Don Bradman twice with one ball in the semi final.

Young Chuckie McGill (back row, left) was overheard openly questioning his fathers version of events having recently studied the account of a witness to the filming who wrote everything down in a scorebook.

Without pausing for breath, the ageing megastar explained to the first twins he had out of wedlock, EC & CA Hurley (back row centre & middle row centre) how, despite winning multiple Oscars every time he makes a movie, studio bosses keep freezing him out of summer blockbusters and forcing him to turn out in low budget B-movies.

Despite this marginalisation, ‘Cocko’ Collins still manages to direct some independent movies of an evening. He recently cast Bollywood sensation Vikramabawz Groweary in ‘75’, a short film about a street urchin who buys a magical shirt on the internet and turns into a run machine.

Cocko’s other twins, Shane (beard) & Prat Blanchett (back row right) announced they hope to shoot a movie at Portgower Place one day, though due to legal wrangles, all sets have been moved to nearby studios 20th Century Fettes until further notice.

Geordie McGill (middle row left) appeared to be yet again engaged in his addiction to voicemail interception.

Cocko is probably best known for his role as ‘Mitch McGill’ a Portobello lifeguard in the Scorcese epic Deep Slippy Gully.

  1. Excellent stuff!! No mention of the Frazer McGill twins? Out smashing the system and looting new kit I'll wager!

  2. If the Filth see you've typed 'smashing the system', you could go down for a very long time in the current climate. I was under the impression that Tory Bliar made it very clear that thinking things at odds with the party whip is clearly a criminal offence.

    How long until 'Free the Gifford One' banners are flown at Fortress Arbo?

    If they do knock on your door, just tell them your Dad works for News International and they'll fuzz off quicker than Clancy Wiggum on the trail of freshly made doughnuts.

    I must also announce that Frazerio finds himself with a dilemma. After tiptoeing into things with a political whiff on Saturday, the next day I found myself being positively encouraged to share with the world, via HXWeb, my solutions to its problems.

    Firstly, and somewhat predictably, I was exceedingly politely reminded by our OverLord, aka Admin, that this is a cricket site. But a little more sinisterly, I was made aware of a rather large social faux pas within my somewhat political piece.

    I had been referring to 'The Bullingdon Club' as 'The Bullingdon Club'. Mr Admin meanwhile referred to them as simply 'the Bullingdon'.

    This, somewhat spuriously I do concede, leads me to suspect that we may have a Bullingdon sleeper within our midst. A gentleman fluent in the slang of the those Brideshaead Revisited cads.

    There is my quandary. Should I spew forth like the heroic Fidel, or tame my tongue until we can determine whether our Bully boy is more of a Rothschild or a Philby?

    Anyone know how to set up a poll??? (no rubbish Ziggy jokes here please).
