Well tonight has been one of those nights! I went down the pub about 5pm, came into a small ammount of money and seeing as i couldnt go out often i thought i would treat meself. Well i spoke to one of the neighbours (lovely elderly woman) like i have done for the last week since i moved in and when i left i told her where i was going. There is a pub right behind the block of flats. So 6pm comes and a police officer walks in. Asks for me directly. Now as those of you who know me well enough will know i have had somewhat of a shady past. So he asks to look around my flat. I ask why. He tells me the pillock in the flat next door has barricaded himself in with a knife and is threatening silly stuff!! So i show them around and he is satisfied. asked me questions about fuel supply to the flat etc... and do i know his household fuel, be it gas or elec. So we deal with the questions and i have given me "i dont know" answers and am left to go back to the pub.
At 9pm (the drafted in officers from Carlisle as Barrow only has 4 on of a night shift, and there was 20 officers surrounding the flat) the officers start bringing in the other residents of the block of flats. Now normally i wouldnt mind, but the first they brought in was a severely arthritic elderly woman of 80 years old who lives on the same floor as me. It angered me somewhat as she is a lovely old dear and was trying to get some sleep prior to a hospital appointment in the morning.
Well thankfully they got the little **** out of his flat and into custody. I just think its a sad state of affairs when elderly people get evacuated from their houses cos some little chav scroat cant take his ale.
Sorry for the drunken rant but needed to vent!!!!
