Running from the Rozzers

I haven't done anything wrong. I just thought I'd let you know of that before I go on. I am not the new Peter Sutcliffe or ... Jim Devine...

No, this is more based on times when I'm in my car. People who have sat in the fabled passenger seats or the back seats, (one of which, perilessly, has no seatbelt), will know of my driving style and let's just say it isn't pedestrian. Pedestrians are more the ones in danger to be honest. I hardly ever stick to the speed limits, probably going at least 10mph faster than I should be, yet I've got a license as clean as the exterior of my car was when it was brand new. Which was a long time ago.

Oh, I have been stopped before. Both times when Burkitt is in the passenger seat. One time I was followed to McDonalds in which I was given a "severe caution" for going 50 in a 40 zone aswell as having my fog lights on, which is probably a crime that deserves a jail sentence now and another time I was pulled up at the lights for going 39 in a 30 zone and given another, "severe caution". It seems policing doesn't follow the same rules as football.

It seems I need 3 cautions to get sent off. Was the policeman that cautioned me, Graham Poll?

Even so, these days, despite a few days back reaching my 2nd anniversary as a road user, thus giving me 12 disciplinary points to play with instead of 6, I always tend to be looking over my shoulder, (hypothetically obviously.. Because that's just plain dangerous), for police cars following me and their funny blue lights lighting up. This evening, on the way back from another successful pre-season net, I was so paranoid that a police car was following me, even though it wasn't a Rozzer, but a normal Fiat Bravo. What is wrong with me?! When the day actually comes, (which is more probable than not), I will probably have a heart attack. Yet, I will insist at going over the speed limit, because travelling at 30mph is stupid. I could probably run faster. Maybe.

Still, today hasn't been so bad I suppose. A lot of sitting around doing nothing, as usual, but I did recieve a fantastic letter from the Beds FA, stating I had recieved a cup final this season. My 4th in 4 seasons, (despite missing last season's because of injury). I really wasn't expecting one this season, seeing as my season started after Xmas, but apparently I am good enough! I have heard words that my appointment is an especially good one aswell, which only increases anticipation ten-fold. 7th March is the golden day, in which I find out which match I have received. 7th March.

Until then, I will muddle on, trying to work out what's going on with this coaching job, whilst sitting around doing nothing in particular and avoiding police officers. Your life is on the right track, when you're avoiding police officers. You can't go wrong.
