Me Mark Page – a promising footballer cut down in his prime.

It seems that my Achilles heel is my Achilles heel.

Hi Me Mark Page here. So there I was playing football, 2 minutes to go, running for the ball, nobody near me and “crack!” I thought I’d been hit by a sniper but it was just my tendon snapping- that’s all. So an operation and a few days in hospital later I’m back on the airwaves at Perth FM. So my radio resumes, but has my football career ended before it ever took off?

Here’s a picture of my red leg.

Ouch- MP in danger of wearing stripes

May 18th is set to put Me Mark in a quandry. Avid Middlesbrough fan Mark is set to play a football match at St. James Park, home of deadly North East rivals Newcastle United. Completely used to wearing red and white, playing in this match puts Mark in danger of playing in black and white stripes. Mark says this is something he’s never ever done and is starting a course of pre-cautionary injections just in case. Indeed Mark would probably rather wear a clingy football outfit of the kind he’s shown wearing here. Thanks to anonymous ex-Army person who sent this in of Mark playing in a match in Hohne sometime ago. He was only passed to twice in 90 minutes. That’s life on the right wing for you.

It never stops being painted and it’s a job in perpetual motion- until now. Painting the Forth Bridge that is. Actually more specifically the Forth Rail Bridge. There’s nothing more spectacular than heading down the M90 and driving across the accompanying road bridge and looking at this feat of Victorian engineering. Actually traveling across by rail means instead you look in awe at the road bridge. Anyway, no sooner do they get to one end with a paint brush, then it’s time to start all over again. Just like my house with emulsion. That is until now. With the development of a 30 year paint, a coat of this then, well it’s 30 years of bad news for painter and decorators isn’t it? If anybody travels down from Perth to work on that, you’ve got 2 years to sort out a backup plan.

Great song we are playing at the moment is Shining Light by Annie Lennox. Sounds familiar? It did to me, but I couldn’t place it, until I visited Everyhit.com; the answer to all my musical conundrums. Well it was originally a hit for Ash in 2001. So no wonder I was struggling- rock track to Annie ballad. Good though.

Alright some videos for you to look at on You Tube. Mini Me (Page Junior) is a dab hand at this. He has uploaded a class goal from ex- Saints player Alan Kernaghan, albeit in his Man City days before he joined St Johnstone. Put Kerny’s name in to come up trumps. Actually Al is godfather to the other Page Junior- Fraser. Another real stoater is Forrest Gump in One Minute. Yep, the full story, all lived out in 60 seconds on an artificially turfed hockey pitch. The movie brings back bad memories for me. When I went to see it at the cinema I had my car nicked and never saw it again. The car that is, but I’ve watched the movie again several times since.

Hello world!
