She Could've Made It.

I saw her coming through the traffic.

She looked like she was dancing.

She had a smile on her face. She seemed happy. 

She waltzed around the car ahead and to the right of us. Then she cut directly across the front of us.

And stopped.

I thought she could have made it. She would have been winged, but she’d have made it. I assumed she panicked, realised she wasn’t going to clear us, and stopped. No “fight or flight” instinct. I was wrong. I was wrong about a number of things.

The driver had jumped on his brakes, but there was no way he was able to stop. The bus hit her. She disappeared from my view. The windscreen had cracked where her head had hit it. It had a crack running the full height of the windscreen, with a spider web of shattered glass at the impact point.

There was a sickening shudder – I thought the bus had run over the top of her. I was wrong. I was wrong about a number of things.

She had been thrown about 5m in front of the bus and was lying at the edge of the road.

I couldn’t do anything. I was frozen to my seat in shock.

I felt – I FEEL – so fucking angry that I couldn’t help.

4 years ago today.

My only regret is that you and dad never got to meet Connor.

Still miss you.

Dr Who on the banned list?

In the Christmas special, Dr Who told a wee boy to "Keep the Faith" - will this get him on the FollyFolly banned list - and is it further proof of the unseen Fenian hand?

A wee add for a new book.

Have a look at this. It contains some of the work from the guy doing Johan the Barbarian on Celtic Underground.

What does it do?
Why is it there?
Am I doing it right? (oo-er!)
Does it count as cyber-stalking?
Can I get a free drink out of it?
Does it make me interesting?

Same old, same old....

Jeez, you let him bring in his own players.
You let him get rid of the ones he doesn't like.
You may even make a little money if the chief-exec is on the ball.

THEN you sign a top notch, blue chip (should that be green chip?) striker!!

And the team still looks like it met in the car park just before kick-off and don't know each others names...

Every game is now a must win. (and for the record, I don't think they will)

Growin' Up

Christ, these things are about as rare as hen's teeth, these days....

Believe it or not, I'm going to have even less time to post, but probably more inspiration, as my wife is due to give birth to number one child soon.

Holy smokes, I'm gonna be an adult....
