As far as I am aware Im not into self harm, but having said that I am now wondering how true that statement is. Against my better judgement I braved the cold today, along with I believe a couple of other hardy newbies to get a look and feel for the wednesday evening meet at the Borough Market.
Yeah!! I can dig that, welcoming chat, meeting new faces and all that… Yeah cool!! Problem was NO STAVROS Aaarrhhhh!!! Who is Stavros I hear you ask (I remember someone did). Well he’s the guy charged with the selling of tea, coffee, bacon butties etc etc get the drift? He didnt turn up today, so where on earth am I gonna get a chill busting hot drink from at that time of night, and in the city to boot? There were plenty of ‘try up there’, or ‘go that way’, all very helpful but in truth quite useless as everywhere was shut. In the end a small search party set out on the ‘road to damascus’ looking for that welcome heartwarming brew. Dearest wasp where are you in my time of need?
Thank god for Mc Donalds, it was this mecca of junk food that came like an oasis in the desert to rescue my somewhat chilled search party with offerings of hot beverages and the odd burger. This is Macky dee’s after all so we were somewhat obliged to get the fatbusting fare along with the tea.
Purchases made we set out on the journey back to basecamp feeling somewhat pleased at the fact that we had something to partake in on our return. We gossiped and swapped stories all the way back. Personally I just wanted to neck the coffee before it got cold sod the chat… (only kidding guys)
Having got back to basecamp, the guys we left behind were being entertained by a somewhat inebriated bagperson/tramp/down and out/call him what you like. If it wasn’t for the fact that he threatened to get violent with some passers by it would have been quite entertaining. He played drums on a bin lid, did a spot of karaoke (as all drunks do lol…) and at some stage I believe some other band members turned up to join his one man ensemble.
This would on another night, (a friday/saturday night perhaps) been acceptablish behaviour, but not tonight. No not tonight. Anyway at some point the police were called to remove this gentleman of the street, fat good that was, all they did was keep the irchin quiet. On reflection I think maybe I’m not being fair here to our very own boys and girls in blue, because all we wanted was for the man to behave which he did on their arrival. So to our very own agents of law enforcement I APPOLOGISE for that last statement, you guys did a great job. But please next time… Take the offender/s away with you… PLEASE!!!
For those who stayed home tonight shame on you… For those that turned up BE WARNED I will be back. And for those that have never been, and I know your out there. What on earth are you waiting for, get yourselves over to the borough market, the entertainment is really ok. TRUST ME.
Oh!! And guys lets put an end to this argument. The only colour for a Kawasaki Ninja is BLACK.
Nuff Respec
