A Sporting Chancer
Mrs Inquisitor and I sat down with a cup of tea and some custard creams to watch Question Time last night.
It was pleasing to see Nicol Stephen doing his usual impersonation of a block of wood.
Surely infront of a live audience he would not be persuaded towards telling a fib.
But wait, no sooner had the first question been uttered than he was doing his best to lie.
When declaring he and his son would be supporting England, he stated that his son was ten years old and that in his lifetime Scotland had never qualified for a major tournament.
That would include Euro 96 in the year of his birth, and France 98 when he was two then would it Nicol?
Anyone wishing to see this fine performance here's the link. The fib only takes 3 minutes to emerge.

"Hey, look at my record as Enterprise Minister, it's not like I can count."
