Eesh, It must be that time of year again.
I was driving to Coleraine to see the Armstrong clan on Thursday night, after Steria's corporate BBQ. You have to understand, I haven't seen these folks in 10 years, or there a-boots, as they now reside in Cana-dia.
Such was my excitement, rocketing towards Ulster's north coast, that I'd ignored the speed I was traveling at. Apparently it was about 86 miles an hour. Scratch that, it was EXACTLY 86 miles an hour. I know this as the kindly cop in question showed me just how he works that figure out on his radar thingie. This case of radar love, landed me 3 points and a £60 fine!
I've figured out that i get this 'temporary lapse of concentration' once or so every summer, and sometimes in the winter.
Here's to careful driving for the next 6 months till I loose some more.

I am shocked and ashamed. You?! Speeding? Never! Tut tut tut young Mattholomew.
