ammendment.

I would like to make aware the place was the EAST end of Glasgow, Not WEST end. My mistake!

The Captain talks law enforcement

Good evening gentle reader,

Last night saw the Captain venture out to a flat warming party the other night, and a fine party it was too. That was until the plod turned up and turfed everyone out. Nothing untoward i hear you say but i disagree. Its Friday, Its 11:30 in the evening and the neighbours have earlier been made aware of said get together. Now i am pondering if there wasn't a bit of predjudice shown by the boys in blue here. I shall explain. Firstly the party was in the west end of Glasgow, a notoriously rough area so maybe the report of a disturbance (minor at best, i've seen far more raucous events and no sign of the feds) Made them panic and turf us out immediately. Not only that but for such a minor offence such as a loud party i didn't feel it really necessary for there to be 4 burly police officers in a paddy wagon. Also as far as i'm aware the police cannot enter a property without a: some sort of warrant or b: unless invited in. But i digress, turfed out into the night the police then buggered off leaving us (by this time only a sporadic bunch of taxi waiters remained) to fend for ourselves in as i mentioned before, a considered rough area. Had anything happened to us surely the police would've been at fault by putting us in this position in the first place, then not providing a little protection until the final couple of taxis arrived! As many people have said in the past, have they nothing better to do on a friday night than to get involved with what could laughably be called a disturbance?

A minor thing really, the party moved on to another location and a fine time was had by all but it vexed me none the less. I feel i should make it known i generally have a certain amount of respect for the police force in this country. there are a lot of rapscallions and n'er do wells and they deal with them so we, the general, law abiding citizens of this great nation can go about our day with little fuss. Last night however i think the ball was well and truly dropped!!!

I am hung over and tired now, I must rest.

The Cap.

I'm going to hell!

Today i did something i'm not too proud of. I swore at an elderly, disabled lady! Now before i am condemned by my peers (If anyone actually reads this) i feel i must set the scene so to speak. Imagine if you will a cold and extremely wet glasgow afternoon. I've just been to the job shop and anyone whose had the misfortune of going to one of those places will contest to how truly depressing a trip it is. So i decide to cheer myself up with a cheeseburger and coffee from McDonalds (Other fast food chans are available!)Well i'm waiting for the bus in the rain as the bus stop is packed with hoodies, single mothers and the elderly, when a bus pulls up. I get on to be confronted by a gravelly voiced old buzzard in an archaic motorised wheelchair. Naturally i step aside, back into the rain to let grotbags go past only she's not happy! The bus apparently isn't low enough to get off and she's decided that the driver is deriving some sort of twisted pleasure at the sight of her doing some sort of Evil Kenevil death dive off the bus so she has a go at the poor fellow. The driver politely tells her thats as low as the hydraulics go. This wizenned old buzzard won't have this and demands that she can't get off. At this point Your soggy hero interjects with"If you can't get off, how did you get on in the first place?" At this point the old witch goes feral and starts calling me a "cheeky wee? fucker" and i should respect my elders! Now i've always had respect for the older generation (Except that time when i said shit to ann old man) But i'd truly have enough and promptly told her to fucking button it before i wheeled her down a flight of particularly steep stairs! To which pretty much everyone on the bus looks at me like i've just curled one out on her lap and used her tartan rug to wipe! Irony was the bus wasn't even going to my chosen destination. Now gentle reader i do feel a slight pang of remorse at this, however i feel sometimes these things need to be said to remind people that they are not the only inhabitants of this world! I tire now, I must rest........... Much love,

The Cap.
