26th of foot 6,082 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I wonder if Cosgrove and Cowan will re-launch their, 'Stop the Shop, Stop Bigotry' campaign? Seventeen/eighteen years past, they brought a St Mirren supporter(I think it was Pie and Bovril heid honcho, Div McDonald) into the Beeb studios to rile and rage against Rangers opening a pop-up store in Paisley, for Christmas. It was opening for six weeks and provided local undergrad' with seasonal work. Of course, Rangers being eternal perpetrators of hate crimes, it was to be opposed and the national megaphone utilised to do so. The second half of the show had an idea whereby each caller/contributor was given a notional brick and a message card attached. The competition was for the wittiest two or three lines articulating objection to the shop. On being asked about notional bricks, they were quite clear they did not want listeners to take ideas from the recent Guy Fawkes night activities. It happened, the windows were bricked on the store a young undergrad dressing the mannequins in the store window was covered in broken glass. A visit to A and E ensued, for lacerations. Cosgrove and Cowan have never mentioned the Rangers store since. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Cosgrove and Cowan resemble fat, speccy geeks who still live with their mums. Good timing with the store opening two weeks before Christmas. I'm sure they'll do great business. Edited December 8, 2018 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receipt email came from cs@sportsdirect.com. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
