Whilst my namesake from Fife once claimed to have saved the world , I've saved a couple of potentially catastrophic calamities whilst out delivering my resident's survey over the past 48 hours.
Down in South Gyle on Saturday, I was met by a young mum with her wee kid & whilst discussing the issues surrounding dog fouling in the area, something caught her eye. "Is that car moving?" she enquired...
Like Ussain Bolt out of the blocks, this retired rugby prop forward made an emergency dash to halt the runaway motor from careering into a park car. I made it with inches to spare! Phew.
A grateful resident came out to secure the handbrake and off I went to finish my delivery run.
Yip, there was a toad on a wee Sunday sojourn to the Craigmount part of the ward.
Blissfully unaware of the dangers around it, our wee amphibian friend just sat there minding its own business.
Thankfully, lets call him Tory Toad, was grateful for the assistance in getting him back onto the grassy verge away from danger.
Regular viewers of my Twitter feed will also recall a couple of weeks back when I saved a cat from being the cause of a certain crash and a potentially poor outcome for the moggy.
The big question is - will I carry this luck with me to the ballot box on May 3rd?
I'll be out on the hunt to cross as many black cats over the next 53 days of campaigning....
