Due to a misunderstanding of the laws governing the appearance of Sinn Fein members on television at the end of the 1980s, Frank Carson had to perform his UK tour by writing down his jokes and having them read out to the audience by an actor.

Furthermore, the “writing the jokes down” bit was actually part of the performance.

Stranraer FC are the oldest football club in the world , named after the local saint Ranraer the bold , who was beheaded after the battle of loch Ryan in 13oatcake,  burt then miraculously reattached his own head and fought with King Robert , his head falling off after victory at Bannockburn .

he was canonised shortly afterwards 

the local Nescafé priors started the team to celebrate the elevation of the toon to a royal burgh in 1617 , and StRanraer have been on the go ever since.

and in celebration of St Ranraer, the football club have run about like headless warriors ever since...!

Having impressed with his deadpan tone Ivor Cutler was the first choice to present Scotsport but after an officious steward banned him from taking his harmonium into Cappielow Arthur Montford got the job instead.

That would account for the Sausage and Agent Orange flavour. 

 

Personally I'm more of a Walkers' Salt and Novichok man myself.

This comes as no surprise to me at all.  During the Cold War, Walker crisps was infiltrated by so many KGB agents, you would not believe it.

People simply have no grasp of much these superpower rivalries affected everything.

"Yeah you were able to put a man on the moon but your prawn cocktail crisps are crap!"
