As I said, the Cheese was mad on Friday night. No nasty behaviour - just an inordinate number of pissed.drugged/both punters. One of them is the younger sister of one of my old mates from school. He was just about to be appointed Professor of pharmacology at Bristol Uni when he passed away (hereditary thing). He once called me when still an undergraduate, telling me he'd isolated the active ingredient in mushrooms. He asked me if I'd knock it out round Warrington if he put in on sheets of blotter. I respectfully declined She's a mess (hard drugs and heavy drink). She's got liver failure and probably doesn't have long left, but she was still enjoying herself cavorting around the dance floor
I wish RHC could have been on the subway with me today. Returning back to hotel from central park I had to take several trains. The last one I was in I got in sat down and realised that the woman sitting opposite me wasn't a woman. It was a 6ft something black man in a bright red very short dress, a wig, and tonnes of makeup. There was a man sitting next to "her" who was either drunk or stoned rubbing all over her. She kept slapping him away and he would try to kiss her hand. They were obviously together but she didn't like the PDA. Probably annoyed he was inebriated. (or she was an escort). When they got off he carried her bags and shuffled along like Igor from young Frankenstein dragging one door. Rode all over New York today... That's the only fun subway story. RHC being amazed by yanks in a pub would have loved them!
My youngest came in for a couple last night. We were sitting at the bar chatting to a pal when a ****er I've referred to previously came over once again trying to get me to introduce him. He puts utter **** on the jukie and is a ****ing chav supporter. **** like Slipknot and Marilyn Manson. I ****ed him off back to his girlfriend. By the time he sidled over again, She'd had a joint with me and 2 bottles of Hop Mountain. I told him to go and bore someone else and he said to her "Do you think I'm boring?" to which she replied."I don't know. Probably. Now **** off, we're talking". She didn't get that turn of phrase from her mother. You should have seen the ****'s face
Only kidding RHC. Sounds like another boss night at The Cheese. It should be turned into a reality show. Channel 5 obviously.
Day 22 at The Cheese and the locals are all of a fluster. Hank and Crystal are over from America visiting Crystal's Aunt Deidre. They stop by The Cheese to sample Denice's famously moist pie. Many of the regulars have never seen an American before and go up to Hank to stroke him. Baseball Bat Barry is on day release from Strangeways so he's only drinking singles. Slippery Pete finds a 20 pence piece in the urinals and puts it in the juke box. Norm yells across the bar "TURN THAT THRASH METAL ****E OFF YOU ****ING ****".
It seems that Fiona and her ma are staying in a cottage near Whitby. I've told her she should get over to the Blacksmiths Arms in Lastingham to see what she missed the other weekend. However, The Hammerhead TM won't be there to greet her on this occasion
Heard a few British accents around. Had convo with a Brazilian lady. Most people I hear speaking in the street arnt speaking English.
