Busy day tomorrow so I'll make it brief. Sensible is in the beer garden so a quick recce to check for CCTV is in order. Plenty of cameras in the bar and the lounge but no sign of cameras in the beer garden. A quick executive decision is made that our party need to drink up and move on.
I don't know if anyone has seen the film Heat with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino but there is a scene at the end of the film where De Niro is off to the Airport with his his new girlfriend and he is turning his back on a life of crime, when he gets a phone call from Jon Voight giving him the location of a cockroach that De Niro would love to exterminate. Although De Niro is the villain in the film the viewer actually feels for his character and wants him to get away and live happily ever after. The viewer also knows that the character played by De Niro cannot pass up the opportunity to right a wrong even though the consequences of taking the chance could result in his downfall.
Karma.. The De Niro moment. Do you walk away? Wrong side of fifty and too old for this shit? Terrible performance by the team you have followed all your adult life made even worse by some tosspot who really doesn't know any better and can't handle his cider. You really should walk away.... and that is what I did. But not before somebody collared the bastard in the beer garden and hit him so fucking hard that he flew over a table. He still had a ciggy in his mouth at the point of contact but I missed that bit.
Bizarrely enough, I have some scars on either side of my right thumb. I don't know where they came from but when I got home I went to hospital for a tetanus. I told the nurse I was bitten by a Jack Russell dog. My right thumb hasn't been the same since and I will take those scars to my grave but I plan to be cremated so no forensic leads in that department.
Since Wembley I have kept a weather eye out for that spotty faced oink but Lady Luck has not been kind. I'm certainly not proud of myself but sometimes in life you have to step outside your comfort zone for a just cause.
I still haven't had a PM from Mark Leach even though he has posted today. My conscience is clear and I am not a liar.
If my account is disputed I can produce five witnesses ( all Wanderers fans ) who can verify the veracity of my claim. Because they were there.
