Do You Know Who I Am?

The Daily Record reports on an incident involving former Labour MP, Jim McGovern, who allegedly asked this rather strange question of a waitress:

"Do you know who I am?" 

Well giving that Jim is no longer an MP this may have been a trick question, but it reminded me of an old Billy Connolly joke.

Billy, as a young apprentice in the Glasgow shipyards, has been befriended by an old lag, an experienced welder and union rep, who is not fazed or intimidated by authority.

While they are off in some quiet part of the shipyard, Billy and his new pal are caught out 'skiving' and have a quick fag by the dreaded time and motion man whose job is to keep the workers on their toes and focused on the job in hand.

So Mr Time and Motion berates the two slackers who don't exactly rush to put out their cigarettes and so the supervisor loses his temper with the fateful words:

"Do you know who I am?" 

 Which causes Connolly's partner in crime to respond by saying:

"Here's a guy who disnae know who he is. Do you think we can help him him out?" 

Glasgow humour has that ability to cut self-important people down to size.

A FORMER Labour MP and his councillor wife were escorted out of a Dundee city centre pub by police officers following a late night row with staff.

Jim McGovern, who announced he would not be seeking re-election earlier this month, was caught up in an argument in The Counting House in the city's Reform Street at 10pm on Thursday.

Bystanders watched as the 58-year-old and his wife, Norma, refused to leave and allegedly berated a waitress with cries of “Don’t you know who I am?"

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Officers attended at the Counting House, Reform Street, Dundee following a report of two people refusing to leave the premises, inquiries were made and the matter was resolved.”

McGovern caused a headache for Labour bosses when he announced he would not bid for a third term as MP for Dundee West, leaving his party just six days to produce another candidate before the registration ­deadline.

The 58-year-old cited ill health for his late ­bombshell.
