Mishaps, mistakes and errors all part of learning curve

A few years ago I read a column by a sports journalist who recalled the night he got locked into a GAA ground.

It was a simple mistake. Failing to realise the journalist was still in the press box, the caretaker locked all the security gates and went home.

To make his escape our intrepid reporter had to scale a high wall and avoid a confrontation with an Alsatian. I know the journalist in question and when I read the article I thought it was hilarious.
