Rumours regarding a devastating cold spell called The Beast from the East have been proven unfounded after the weather station, Irish Met TV, admitted they overheard the wrong information in a pub in Moortown.

The beast turned out to be none other than the St Malachy’s full back Paulie Quinn who is contemplating a move to Aghyaran after getting married to a woman from the West Tyrone club.

Weatherman from Irish Met TV, Snowy Robinson, admitted:

“Yes it’s my fault. Id overhead a conversation about the Beast from the East heading west to wreak destruction and I assumed it was another cold spell. I jumped too quick there and I apologise to the Irish public. I also wish the beast, Paulie, all the best in Aghyaran.”

Meanwhile, a 55 year old man from up the road in Ardboe has been told to stop sucking diesel as he has now become a fire hazard to vapers outside the local Spar.
