Falkirk Walking Football team, who won the cup at the Newmains Walking Football Festival yesterday.
A spoof final page of the novel, Jaws. The fireworks and celebrations continued to rage behind him as he walked down the jetty towards the water. He allowed himself a wry smile. Even now, after all that had happened, he’d miss Amity. “And just where do you think you’re going?” said Mayor Vaughn, stepping out from the shadows. “Ah, busted. Hi, Larry.” said Jaws, flashing the toothy smile that had captivated the whole town. “You saved the President and returned the Liberty Bell to Independence Hall. You think we’re just going to let you sell us the old Irish Goodbye?” said the Mayor. “I have to go, Larry,” said the great fish. I love this place but…it’s not my home.” “Then go, with our blessing and our thanks,” said the Mayor, tears welling in his eyes. “Thank you for teaching me to read, and for teaching me…that an old fool can begin again, and become a better person. And thanks as well for eating those people who turned out to be part of a puppy smuggling ring.” “It was my absolute pleasure, Larry.” said Jaws, pointing his fins at the heavens. “They were delicious.” Suddenly, a shimmering portal opened above the mighty shark, as iridescent light danced impossibly around him. “And now, I must return to the stars. Goodbye Larry, remember me!” And with that, the majestic great white was gone. Vaughn looked out to sea, as the waves crashed against the empty beach. “Goodbye, my friend.” he whispered, as his tears fell down onto the sandy boardwalk.
