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…
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.
Gone missing for 5 hours ??
Good lad.
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!
