Fluke


Call it luck. Call it pure fluke. Call it what you will. There I was strolling across Grattan Bridge (aka Capel Street Bridge) in the heart of the Hibernian metropolis on Midsummer's Day last, when the sound of several speedboat engines came within earshot. Momentarily startled, I quickly regained my composure and whipped out my trusty camera. By this stage acting purely on instinct, I pointed the lense downriver towards the Millenium Bridge, specifically in the direction of two boats which had just sped past going like the clappers. Without further ado and knowing that time was of the utmost essence, I took my photograph. The result is what you see posted here. Showing it to a friend afterwards, the Big Mon remarked that as a picture it displayed "perspective, balance and drama.". I have to say, I'm inclined to agree with him.

Your humble shutterbug,

Brian:-)

The idea was hit upon by a few of ‘The Lads’, as the pub regulars are known. They had been drinking all day, after an important Premiership morning clash, when Dano Scutts (a drinker at The Wife Beater for over 20 years) got onto the subject of refugees. He said he was sick of seeing blacks all over the place and that they had ruined whole streets with their stinking shops. Jimbo Rancid, a stalwart patron of The Wife , stated that he was starting...
