"It could have been me" - Claim a spurious link to high profile tragic incidents or disasters

Could have died in any of the incidents.

I was in Limerick recently, in a place called Hospital! And I’m a bit of a cunt that fellas might take a shot at. It could have been me…

Shot himself, apparently.

Had I stayed in Limerick for much longer I may well have become suicidal. We’ll never know.

I’ve managed it for the guts of 40-odd years. Despair, yes - suicidal, no.

Resolute fuckers, we are.

Raheen Church is not in the grounds of the Regional Hospital (I hate that UHL name).

It’s the church in the hospital grounds that they’re referring to.

That’s where it happened anyway.

Ah yes, the one that elderly local use for a 20 minute mass on Sunday.

Anybody on a train in Germany recently

I walked down Drottninggatan in Stockholm on a Friday afternoon in the spring of 2013.

Today, on a Friday afternoon in the spring of 2017, at least three people were killed in an apparent terrorist attack on Drottninggatan.

It could have been me.

Several weeks ago I arrived for my United flight in a Mid-West US airport and to my dismay was told there was no place for me on the plane. Despite requests for volunteers there were none forthcoming and I had to watch as the gate closed and the plane left without me. However, instead of getting violently removed from the airport by US police instead United gave me a cheque for $1,300 as I had been involuntarily ā€œbumpedā€ and put me on a plane that left 4 hours later.

It could have been me etc. etc.

(I was actually quite happy with the cold hard cash I acquired)
