This morning the missus told me that she was having contractions (she was preggers!) so we decided to head into the Coombe. Being just after 8:30 traffic was fairly crap but she seemed content enough sitting in the usual N4 inbound queues. By the time we were passing Woodies the contractions were 5 mins apart and I was thinking that I didn't want my leather getting ruined. Seeing a squad car parked on the brow of the hill before the Liffey Valley SC slip road, I pulled up beside them and asked if I could use the bus lane. The lads in the car asked how far gone she was and I told them. "Well drive you there" they said and on with the blue lights and sirens. We tore down the bus lane, around the M50 roundabout and down onto the M50 (I would have thought continuing on the N4 would mean less traffic!). The M50 appeared as if it wasn't moving. Still all the cars moved out of our way and we flew down it swerving from one lane to the other. Got onto the Naas rd and we were doing over 80mph! Went down the longmile rd and he dropped us off at the hospital. I have to say its absolutely brilliant being in that situation but you do get to see some idiots. One car pulled out of a side rd right in front of the squad car! Icidentally our daughter was born at 1:35am so as it turned out there was no rush! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Muchos congrats Killian! Well done to yourself and Mrs.B. But hang on. Am I right in saying that a mere three hours after the birth of your daughter you were sat in front of a computer telling us and Boards about it? Or have they made the Coombe a wifi hotspot and you brought your laptop with you? Seriously dude, we could have waited a few more hours for the good news. ------------- '02 320Ci Auto |
