You've most probably heard of the carbomb attack at Glasgow Airport last weekend. Whilst it is an extremely frightening thing and closer to my home than previous attacks, there has been something interesting come out of it: John Smeaton. John tackled one of the guys in the car immediately after the incident, and after being interviewed on a number of major channels (BBC, ITV, CNN) in a truly inimitable style, has become something of an internet legend (watch the CNN video here).
A Web site quickly sprang up to have a huge party for John, and over 1000 pints have been put behind the bar for him (I think we were pint 150 or so). There's also people pushing to have John on stage at T in the Park this weekend and others trying to get him fully recognised. Good work from a fellow west coaster, and maybe even a fellow Buddie!
As ever, there's stacks of video on YouTube, including this great mashup with a speech from Braveheart.
