The Boney King of Nowhere
Me, Myself, and I
"The Architect, by the relationships which He creates He wakes in us profound echoes, He gives us the measure of an order which we feel to be in accordance with that of our world, He determines the various movements of our heart and of our understanding;

It is then that we experience the sense of beauty."

"When Beckham was at Real Madrid, he confirmed that Scholes was the most admired opponent in a dressing room boasting Zinedine Zidane, Luís Figo and Roberto Carlos. And, asked to name the best in a United squad that includes Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, this is Rio Ferdinand's verdict: 'For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, "You see that tree over there?" - it'll be 40 yards away - "I'm going to hit it". And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best."

    • Hallowe'en

      Hello to you all.

      As some of you may have seen, I recently posted a horror story here called Fanatic.

      I'm not big into Hallowe'en, but it does seem to be the perfect occasion to alert folk to the sequel, namely The Legible Wound, which I hope to finish at some point in the next 7 days and then post it online.

      So consider yourselves warned!

      It would be quite cool if you could take the time to have a wee read and tell me what you think. I guarantee that it will at least attempt to be scary!

    • Morrisons - How (Not) to Shop

      It's been almost 3 months since I accepted my post in the heart of Cambuslang's consumer society. Since becoming a master of the checkout, I have begun to compile my own thoughts on the etiquette one should employ when picking up one's weekly provisions, thoughts which I will now put in this blog, in doing so providing a guide for all those who cross a supermarket threshold unaware of the most important facts concerning staff, stock, customers and the relationship between the three.

      1. We now have reusable bags, we have had for a long time. The following excuses are no longer acceptable:
      "I left them at home."
      "I left them in the car."
      "Ooooh, I forgot those bags again!" This last one is often accompanied by a wee carefree grin, which tells me a few things about the customer. It tells me they don't really care for the environment, meaning that their motivation for buying the bags really was (as it is in most cases) that they are handy for carrying whatever 2 litre bottles of fizzy stuff are currently on offer. It also gives me an insight into how they will react on that long-awaited day when Morrisons do away with their basic carrier bags, and imagining their polythene safety net being wheeched away from under them is quite a treat.
      So in short, if you have forgotten your reusable bags, try not to, and don't tell me when you forget them, I'm sick of it.

      2. Do not assume that, because the person at the checkout/deli counter etc. is young, they do not have a clue what they are doing.
      This can often be patronising and, to more sensitive staff members, quite distressing or upsetting. The last thing you want is a 22 year old male bashing you over the head with a bag of onions. So show some respect and remember that most of us are paying our way through degrees and other academic courses, so we are not silly, We just aren't willing to accept abuse if the carrots are a whole 2p dearer than you imagined.

      3. Don't come to the checkout with fake/no ID if you are under/look under 25. No one will serve you and you will look a pillock if you argue when the rules are well advertised in store.

      4. Don't answer your phone at the checkout. Your house is not burning down, and ignoring the little human being behind the checkout is more than rude.

      5. If your children are wild, unruly, or mischievous, no matter how cute it may appear, it often creates unnecessary tension, i.e. allowing your toddler to climb up the side of an empty trolley will result in crushed legs. Therefore leave them at home, or tie them up outside and let them clap the doggies, they'll love it.

      6. Don't steal things, as creative and strangely admirable some of the more professional shoplifter's attempts are to get a free dinner, it still is detestable. Plus we're not allowed to chase you wildly throught the car park, so all the fun is quickly taken out of it for the staff.

      7. Don't hold back your life story, tell me it. We aren't often entertained so hearing about someone's life can be genuinely interesting and makes longer transactions fly in.

      8. The current transaction record for my till is just over £178. If anyone I know beats it, I will buy them a pint.

      9. Don't assume that all checkout assistants are female, as calling me "hen" never does much for the self esteem.

      10. If there are cues in the store, there is a very simple reason for it. You've all come at the one time. I feel that if everyone in Cambuslang and surrounding districts were to see how empty the store can be at times, their shopping day would change. I suggest this pattern:

      Monday - is usually dead, so if you are retired or have a day off, come then. You'll get nice fresh stuff, all the things you'll need will be there, and no one will be in your way. You can even see all of your retired friends and make a wee day of it in our customer cafe. Also the aisles will be clear enough for you to manouevre your wee motorised scooters. Why not race them and give the staff somethi

    • Fanatic Part 4

      IV


      Everyone slept in a cobbled array of sleeping bags and duvets, all in the living room together. We decided to keep watch in shifts. Not one knew what to look for but sleeping was easier with someone watching over us.

      It was my turn to wake at 3am.

      “Craig, you awake?” Jeff’s whispered voice in my ear did not bring the irritation I expected. Instead it was sweet and calming, reassuring me of another human presence.
      “Yep, am up. You see anything?”
      “Nope. Nothing here, not that I can see.”
      “Maybe they’re waiting politely for the man of the house.”

      Neither of us knew who they were. In fact, they did not exist. But we did find comfort by giving the awful feeling a title, as if the fear was demanding a name, a recognition.

      The next hour passed quickly, the only unusual sight being Dave’s briefs, covered in smiling faces. Cheryl woke at 3:45. We both slept again at 4:05, leaving Steve to keep watch. I was woken again at 4:17.

      “I just heard a noise upstairs.” Dave and Steve both had the look of quiet fear, of young senseless men suddenly educated by an unseen, powerful truth. The noise had woken Dave, the heavier of the sleepers.
      Leaving Cheryl and the others in peace, we investigated.

      Less mystery than we expected was to be found. We saw nothing curious but the open door of my bedroom, which I habitually shut each time I left it. We attributed the noise to my often clumsy neighbour, whose diligent nightly jaunts were becoming rapidly famous among the visitors to my house.
      The rest of the night passed without further panic and, as I took my place once again beside Cheryl, I saw night turn into dawn, the first time the beautifully natural occurrence affected me, buoying me into uneasy appreciation of the halt in the horror.

      When the windows were uncovered, the blind pulled open by her innocent hand, the truth of the night was revealed to us. The horror had left the house only to invade the street. It had not been contained but simply had reached a higher point of view and taken suffering down from a global constraint to fill ignorant gaps for the young.

      In the intensity of the newly risen sun, swinging rhythmically in the first breeze of the day, we were witness to the sacrifice: a length of tight wound rope; a bruised and broken neck; an innocent hanging from the lamp post, blue from the death and cold of the night, wrapped only in a red rag bearing the devils’ mark.
