In a case paralleling Peter Buck's far more closely
than thon Dun Ringles one, Guireans
guitarist Alasdair "God" Mackay was cleared of an
alleged case of "Tractor Rage", said to have taken
place on a Fordson Dexta 737 returning from Barvas
on Satur-day.
A member of the cabin staff, identified only as
"Calum", alleged that Mackay had complained
throughout the flight about having to sit in the
economy section of the trailer with a
group boisterous rams on an 18-30 package to
Guershader.
As the flight began its descent into Laxdale,
"Calum" told the court, an enraged Mackay leapt into
the cab and began to struggle with the Pilot. As the
tractor plunged into a steep dive, "Calum" attempted
to seize the controls and bring the Tractor in for a
controlled landing, but unfortunately was unable to
do so for reasons associated with his career choice,
moustache and unnatural predilection for the
recordings of Philomena Begley.
In the ensuing crash landing, 3 sheep and half a cow
were killed, and passing Sandwick Worthy C*lan B*w
was almost run over.
As Mackay left the court, accompanied by Guireans
singer Gordon "Michael Stipe" Macleod, he commented
"Just as well Judge S**dy M*th*s*n was still hungry
after the Jason Dun Ringle trial, or thon box of
out-of-date pies from Alex France's might not have
swung it".
Calum is understood to be in rehearsals for the new
series of Pop Idol.
