Where Were You?

I was in Primary 7.

 

I was 31

 

I was in 2nd year

 

I was in Primary 7 when Diana died. 6th year for WTC

 

I was 36.

 

Shetland.

The Shetlanders were all shocked to the core.

They'd never seen a jumbo jet before let alone 2.

 

9/11 just to be clear.

 

I remember going up to my grans after school and it was all over the TV.

Our teacher spoke about it most of the next day to us, we were all planning our revenge on they taliban bastards

 

The first i heard was someone saying there'd been a bomb - some bomb .

 

9/11 - woke up with mahoosive hangover, just after the 1st plane hit, went and made. cuppa and came bck thinking I was watching a replay but it was actually the 2nd jet hitting, that really helped my confused state lol

 

I was sitting at the same desk that I'm sitting at now,sham drudgery and broken dreams

 

Instead we sent ****s like Lone Ranger out there.

 

Did you tuck it back to get more tips?

 

Some of the stories afterwards were funny though.

Shetlanders discussing the possibility of a terrorist attack on Sullom Voe and the devastating impact it would have on the island.

Aye, them jihadists ****ing hate shetlanders.

 

9/11 ... I was 24 years old.

Diana ... I was 20 years old.

 

Are your family all versions of the maw from Carrie?

 

My maths skills are ****ed. I must have been in 2nd year for Diana then because I was definitely 17 when November 9th happened.

 

Di was 97 wasn't it?
