Kevin McCarra

You'll be reading about this journo today-he went "missing" for 5hrs (aye, only 5) in Avignon, France and his wife/brother in law started a Facebook page…

So he turns up on local TV Avignon city centre coming out of a hotel. Twitter goes nuts and #kevinmccarra starts trending with 10k tweets in the space of a few hours.

A few folk started asking "glad he's safe, but what was he up to…?" and all the big hitter in the journo world closed ranks and started dishing out a abuse to anyone who asked-total hypocrisy.

We don't need to ask what he was up to, do we? Caught bonny…

XD

Since when does 5 hours count as missing?

Noticed it on Twitter yesterday. Assumed he had some sort of breakdown and background of mental health the way they were going on.

5 hours isnae even a decent shift on the drink. When I was younger and full of p1ss and vinegar, on a lads' trip away you widnae even notice someone was gone for 48 hours.

I suppose in these times you have to be constantly in touch by one means or another.
And, aye, he was obviously away for a quickie aff the books.

I was at a funeral in Inverness yesterday, and a certain Alistair Fraser was talking in impressive terms about your hollow drinking legs.

I can go missing for 5 hours on a 12 hours shift at work, easily

Sadly, Old Father Time, Marriage and severe lack of practice have substantially reduced the capacity of said legs!

I bumped into Al after that disaster of a County game on the Friday night last season, prior to that I hadn't seen him in donkeys.

Back in the day, we sank a few on many occasions.....including the stag weekend of a Dons supporting journo, who keeks in here occasionally,in Dublin.

He routinely displayed archetypal journalistic capacities!
