WE PREDICT A RIOT…..
FRAMINGO made it safely home in the wee small hours this morning after a late night session at our Glasgow office (also disguised as The Vale in Dundas Street! ) with latest signings ACUTE RIOT . Once the business of the evening was dealt with (discussion on debut single and guerrilla gig offensive ), it was down to the serious stuff of Rock n Roll……Cardigans, Motherwell FC, Dennistoun Hotspots and the likelihood of Mr Campbell securing a cash injection for The Harry Wraggs from his guisin` exploits as UNCLE FESTER at Halloween ……and then The Framingo Family woke up shortly after 5PM to discover the MIGHTY JAGS two points clear at the top of the First Division !!!….. SPOOOKKKY !!!!!

A Riot of Our Own…
Still on a high after the trouncing of erstwhile world Chumpions France , FRAMINGO raise the stakes even higher by snatching the signatures of the much-touted ACUTE RIOT . The Glasgow based whippersnappers have been attracting an indecent level of interest recently from media and industry types down London way. This represents a major coup for FRAMINGO who celebrated the capture with debauched signing ceremony at last nights RIOT gig @ SOUNDHAUS in Glasgow . These guys make the ARCTIC MONKEYS look like POP IDOL rejects!!!!…Stay tuned for more news; info and tales of rock `n` roll high jinks on this sensational signing by FRAMINGO!! …… View last nights gig

Everything at Framingo stopped this week when we heard the news that Frew Framingo suffered a heart attack on Tuesday afternoon. He is at the moment doing fine at the Royal Alexandria, Paisley where he is climbing the walls with boredom. We visited tonight ( Friday ) & asked if he had any messages for his millions of fans out there. His answer was short & sweet: “Dying is easy.” Sounds like the old philosophical Frew we know & love. All other things pale into insignificance when one of our own is struck down. Everyone at Framingo wish our old mate Frew a quick recovery & a long & healthy life. Get well soon buddy!!!

Ze –in-The-Park Competition Winner
After trawling through a multitude of entries, some weirdly witty, some just plain weird. (What is this fixation with the word “crack”?) FRAMINGO are pleased to announce that JAMES McCROSSAN from Greenock (shame about last season's play-offs mate!!) is our lucky (sic) winner. The much sought after FRAMINGO goodie bag will be heading your way James, just as soon as we get to grips with this new fangled postal malarkey!!
The stunning winning entry, in a classic Carry On ã double- entendre stylee was :
Even by utilising helmets in the park, Greater Glasgow Police struggle to convince the public they are serious in their quest to enforce the outdoor drinking ban.
