Another Death

Another young man lost his life early on Sunday morning. He was a passenger in a car which hit a pole and I don't think it would be libellous to suggest that alcohol abuse was involved.

Without wishing to sound trite that's another couple of families left in tatters, another dead youth on an island with precious few young people, another man presumeably due to spend several years in prison, haunted by the sobering image of his dead friend.

It's part of the culture I'm told and while the police are concentrating their efforts on the no doubt admirable (although entirely futile) aim of stopping young people drinking and taking drugs they may do better to encourage the adults to moderate their behaviour and set a good example.

I sound like an old tosser.

Why is that I wonder?

About Me

Despite compelling evidence to the contrary this was never meant to be about either beef or cheese, subjects in which I have little more than a passing interest. It is true however that the fates have recently conspired to find me work at a cheese factory but this is little more than a cruel, coincidental joke told at my expense.
