MARK MCKENNA IS a sports coaching student at the University of West Scotland.

According to Metro, he has a lecturer with the same name, and from time to time, Mark McKenna the student gets emails meant for Mark McKenna the lecturer.

Hi Mark, sorry I wasn’t in today for the coaching science lecture, all of the trains were cancelled going to Hamilton West due to the weather.

But does he send them on to McKenna 2? No. He has some fun.

I don’t care if the trains were cancelled I expect u to be at every class even if the weather is terrible. Asda are doing great deals on tents at the moment maybe you should buy one and camp outside the lecture hall for next time. Unauthorised absences aren’t good enough

Ah, poor old Gazza. McKenna’s tweet about the emails has been retweeted over 5,400 times, so if he didn’t cop before, he certainly has now.

You’d probably take the piss too if that was you, no? We sure would.
