I used to leave the pub, with my arms around the shoulders of a couple
of mates, as they half carried me to my car.. then one would open the drivers door, while the other propped me up against
the car.. then they put me in.. started the engine, and pointed me in the right direction, and off I set...
I tell ya what, you wouldn't believe the amount of assholes on the roads,
around midnight on Saturdays... and the amount of times, I had to swerve onto the sidewalk to avoid other cars was unbelievable...
They had no bloody consideration whatsoever, for decent law abiding road users like myself... and you won't believe this,
but some of them actually assumed, I was going to stop at red traffic lights !!! ...... Then there was all the assholes, that
used to drive the wrong way, down the one way street I used... not just once, but every bloody Saturday night.... whats the
matter with these fuckin people ??
Then of course, there was the dreaded roundabouts... I mean, my head was
already spinning, without driving round in fuckin circles.... sill, I easily overcame that obstacle, by driving through the
middle of the fuckin things.
By this time I was almost home, but there was just one more obstacle to
overcome - the dreaded shopping arcade...... and ya know what folks ? - this arcade was extremely user
UNfriendly to motorists... there was loads of big plant pots in the way.. statues.. lamposts.. and to top it all off, a bloody
enormous, drive through car wash in the middle of it... at least, I assumed thats what it was......
Apart from these obstacles, there was the added problem of drunken pedestrians,
swerving all over the place in front of me.... They just wander across the arcade, without even stopping to look for oncoming
traffic... whats the matter with these fuckin people !!
Anyway, just as you think you've cleared the arcade, one more obstacle
awaits you.... lots of small concrete posts at the end of it, to try and stop you getting out..... Every Saturday night I
have to demolish them... and by the following Saturday some bozo puts the fuckin things back !!! .... I don't know why I bother...
ahhhhh.... Happy Days..... Happy Memories..... Great Times !!
