A few of you noticed that my David Robertson Pen Trick SCANDAL made it into the Sunday Mail yesterday.
It turns out he really is performing a magic trick.
Please spare a thought for how this must feel for me. I’ve went from first spotting this on the telly, to half-joking about the possibility of magic when I showed it at my Fringe show, to it being exposed as a real magic trick in the papers. It’s the kind of stuff that can mentally unhinge a person.
Speaking of mentally unhinged and David Robertson, don’t forget about Dee Dee’s own David Robertson experience in World of Glasgow!

You must be ragin’…..
They nicked your story!
He’ll be aw self-conscious about doing it now.
Good spot, man! The only problem is, i will be watching the news every night to see if he does the trick again.
If he doesn’t, i will be left dissapointed, and live in hope for the next bulletin, like a cat who has just found out about catnip but whose dealer says “naw man, there’s a drought on at the moment”.
If he does the trick, after a moment of shallow, instant gratification, i will be left feeling hollow, used, ashamed and slightly rediculous.
I mean, Robertson isn’t going to come round and scrub the kinky residue of veggie sausage and baked beans out of my waterproof trousers is he? Not even metaphorically.
In a few days, i will be a broken and very hungry man and my girlfriend may start to ask questions about the ubiquitous stench of lunch in a can floating pleasantly into her nostrils.
I have realised you are a git and you have ruined my life.
Clare’s accesories is a bit full of herself is she no?
Naw wait… i meant full of shite
ubiquitous indeed!!!!

What the fuck you talkin about?
Hmmm… I’m not so sure to be honest.
I mean the fact that they went to all this trouble… to make an “official” version of events tends to make me suspect there’s something else going on here.
Does anyone actually see him write anything with that pen?
Watched the vid on youtube there, a comment left;

You are SO fit.
Gotta love a good scottish man. If only he were gay.
Yer in there.
I am pissing myself at some of the comments on the youtube vid man, Thom Yorke! What the fuck!?
Did you get my email the other day Limmy? Just a very quick “yes” or “no” would suffice………Cheers
‘Limmy Limond’
wtf?
Is this not a good enough reason to get the rest of your fringe clips on youtube.??
Talk aboot exposure limmy
Cheers for that….ya wee prick!
He’ll have to move the magic act forwards now though, perhaps pulling a series of coloured scarfs out of his arse at the end of each bulletin?
Hilarious. He must be chuffed with himself now, and getting all the birds. Nothing like a bit of magic to add some sexual allure to a man.
nae pen, PEN ,nae pen , PEN!
Limmy Limmond!
Does that make me Munny Munster?
“he’s a very funny man” – what an arselicker. Aye well, he’s going to have to work on something else noo. My money is on him pulling a pen out of Jackie “she’s a burd” Bird’s chuffpiece by next Mondays show, just wait.
‘Limmy’ Limond, I prefer that! ‘Rossy’ Ross.
I think my favourite bit of the youtube page there is when the guy says you look like Thom Yorke… Do you get that much? My girlfriend said the same a few weeks ago…
Aaron (ex pixelsurgeon.)
Ya know whit would be crackin, if big Davie did a very discreet “requiem” live on the news as a comeback at you for exposing his ninja pen flick. A quick cough under his breath like “aREQUEahem” to see if you’d notice it.
But he knows he’s under heavy surveillance so he’ll probably just do his pen trick quite blatantly noo and give a cheesy smile after it.
Clare’s Accessory is gay.
Fuck David Robertson.
I think he should get the sack for his antics, unless he was reportinG at the time on a issue particularly upstetting, and he was doing the trick to cheers us up;
“Tribal genocide atrocities in Kenya…:.(…..whoopeee! PEN TRICK
Clare’s accessory : “What a Load of Pish !”
I quite fancy David Robertson.
ElectroRoss Says: ” ‘Rossy’ Ross”
That’s what I’d get folk to call me if I was a pimp. That or “Daddy Champagne”.
You dae look a lot like thom yorke…. minus the googlie eye….
I don’t like the headline…
I’m assuming that’s a play on newsnight but why the fuck have they removed an S? Now it just looks like new sleight, mistyped.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but he doesn’t even present newsnight does he?
How about “now you BBC it”?!
I know that’s rubbish but I didn’t waste 4 years of my life getting a degree in journalism.
‘Last night Limmy said – I noticed that after every 10 words or so he always moved his hands, then I saw the pen trick’
Did the Sunday Mail actually phone you up about that?
Aye, kind of, I was asked to give someone there a phone. I said I noticed that after 10 words or so, DaveyboyRobertson did “a wee flick of the wrist”, but maybe they didn’t want to quote that in case they thought I was trying to sneak in a wanking reference.
Well spotted Brian, have to say but, lazy fkin journo’s up to it again…
I post on a couple of football forums and the amount of rumours that people start on these things for a laugh that end up in ‘repectable’ daily’s is unbelievable…
Most recent made the Telegraph stating that one of our strikers (I support a bottom 6 SPL club) was a target for Steve Bruce’s Wigan for 700K, if you knew the player it really is laughable…
If it was really the case I’d have drove the boy there myself, bought him a McDonalds on the way down and not even asked for the petrol money.
Never the less, well spotted Mr ‘Limmy’ Limond, Dee Dee would be proud…
Aye they F**ked up in the soaraway scottish Sun the other day too !
Did ye see the bit aboot scottish darts when the said on a wee dartboard picture that top of the pops mistakenly put up a picture of Jocky Wilson during his song reet petete.
