Yesterday was a day of mixed fortunes for me .
It started on the way down when I was pulled over by the Guards outside Cavan . I hadn't noticed the beige Forester parked up & he had clocked me doing 132 kph on a main road
. I was all apologetic & the guy seemed friendly enough but he took my licence & disappeared into his scoob . I was expecting a court appearance but he let me off with an 80 fixed fine . I think the fact that I was in a scoob helped as he took a look around the car .
That left me running late & if I went to Edgeworthstown I'd miss the start of the game . Instead I stopped off in Granard , so apologies to the guys who I was supposed to meet , you can blame the Guardai . The match was heart stopping at times , especially when the pool scored
mg: but then it was ruled offside
. Liverpool really deserved to win but Manu got a 91st min goal to get the 3 points :nana: .
The karting was great fun & I got a great start & seemed to open up a gap in 1st place until Norris appeared & shot past me . I lapped a few guys including Niall & I caught him again but he didn't let me past as easily this time . Then the race was stopped to let us have a rest .
After the restart my kart didn't seem as quick as drivers seemed to keep up with me & a few went past .
This was probably due to guys getting the hang of the track & that my front RH wheel bearing was knackered . It collapsed on the last lap but I managed to finish the race . Never mind it was a good way to spend an afternoon , looking forward to the next one .
The mixed up day continued when I got home . I just wanted to have my dinner , lay back , have a few beers & watch some tv . Problem was our electricity was off so dinner took longer to cook & I'd no TV
. By 9 pm I still had no power so I went to the cinema & watched Hot Fuzz ( appropriate considering the start to my day
) . It's a great show , watch out for the scoob at the end .
