Dave great teeth Cormack

We need to know if Cormack had a paper round as a kid. I don't trust the work ethic of any human being who didn't have at least 1 round. Should be question number one at the Q&A. Find out what his route was and we'll take it from there.

Do you really believe Glass was the best candidate available and it had nothing to do with Atlanta?

[Hairdrier]

Glass wasn't the best candidate, unless the primary criteria in the application was to be Stephen Glass.

Depends. Did he have a paper round as a kid?

Not only did I do all 4 of the different paper rounds in my village at one point or another, I also set up a Green Final round too off my own bat. Does that mean I can get to be on the Board of AFC?! Fantastic. I've always said if I win the lottery I'd try and buy a position on the Board, but maybe I don't need to win the lottery now.

As one old wifie said, "you can set your watch by wee Jimmy". (I'm 6'2" and she was probably 5'2" so she can take the 'wee Jimmy' bit and put it where she likes.)

Wayne Rooney probably got there first

Depends, did you fill up with green finals and go straight round to dump them in the recycling bin? Go back to the shop half an hour later to pick up your fiver?

If so, that's dirty money and you'll fit in nicely.

Mondo - you clearly have no understanding of how the Green Final setup worked!

You were entirely self-employed. The van arrived on a Saturday evening, and you were on commission only. The more papers you sold, the more you got. To be honest, it didn't really turn out to be worth it, and not a great way to spend your Saturday night, but it was a learning experience. Not much else to do in rural Aberdeenshire anyway, I suppose.

Where was your patch?

I'm sure it was green finals that came in every now and again and all the paperboys were asked if they wanted to deliver them. We were just meant to pop them through letter boxes we didn't sell them. I delivered a few, binned the rest and went back later to do it again.

I pinched the odd mars bar out the back room to.

That set up only started when I stopped delivering Green Finals, which was probably late 1974 when I left school ( officially)
This fact is burned on my memory as my little brother took over my round and actually made some money.

Prior to that I was paid 25p to deliver just over 100 Green Finals.
