The domino-effect......................

[mackem 26,835]

F***ing Hell Joe was on time for a change,slightly early even,I did a double-take at the clock,Nope,five minutes before time,wonders never cease He was even on cloud 9 last night,he regaled me with tales of the gang fight he had witnessed outside his house minutes before leaving,Riot-van,coppers,Burberry Chavs,the works,great entertainment he said Good vibes were everywhere,I was buzzing last night,we were going to score

Arrives at the venue,I am having a p*ss while joe opens the boot,and I heard "AHHHHHHH"At first I thought he was urinating as well,but nope,that wasnt a sigh of relief but an exclamation of amazement His face said "Your-not-going-to-f***ing-believe-this"mine said "Coming-from-you-JOE-i-probably-f***ing-will"So he is looking into a cavernous boot,empty barring a spare tyre,jack,and wheel brace,he must have had a Mr Bean moment,it was equally as farcical because he lifted the jack up and peered under it????A mountain of fishing-kit and a big red f***ing dingy under a Jack?

Then he remembered,F*CK!He had left the kit on his path as he watched mesmerised by the street-fight On the way back to his house he tried to change the subject,telling me about some of the plums and simpletons he worked with,some of their mishaps and downright stupidity you wouldnt believe,I butted in and told him the tale of a guy I knew,I used to fish with him regular,good guy,never a dull moment,we always had a laugh,anyway,this bloke had once driven for over an hour,arrived on location only to remember he had left a heap of fishing kit on his garden path as he watched a couple of pugilistic burberry-gangsters sparring up to each other and kicking-off,the rest of the journey was in silence

We are back on the water finally,this is a decent-sized lake a stones throw from a huge baronial country mansion,Lloyd Grosseman would have had wet "Through the keyhole" type dreams wondering "Who lives in a house like this" but we knew already!Lots of regular security patrols and vehicles moving up and down the estate roads even in the wee hours.One of the estate workers fancied himself as Lewis Hamilton,he must have done as he did several laps of the lakes track as we stood in the tree-line watching,so its a no-no for the boat then,last thing we need is to be illuminated in the middle of a 25 acre lake with Joe at the oars and me as helmsman.

Lewis f**ked-off somewhere at high speed,thankfully,and theres no time to p*ss-fart around so its into the water and getting fish At this point Joe said "Mack,dont you think its getting a bit light"?You know what its like when your engrossed in doing something,your not as tuned in as normal,I looked around and it was indeed light,the birds were singing,the sun was coming up,and as Joe pointed out,"Isnt that 2 guys outside the House"

Time for a sharp exit!

Another great read Mackem, sounds like 'one of those nights!'

 

Reminds me of the time my me, my brother, and a few others chartered a boat for a trip out to the Turbot banks, just outside of the Milford haven waterway. We got up at 5 in the morning & sorted out all of our fishing tackle and grub for the day. On the way to getting the boat in Neyland, we stopped off in the 24hr Tescos in Pembroke Dock. I headed straight for the bakery & the fresh as anything bag of 10 custard filled doughnuts.

We got to the quay in Neyland, got out of the car and got the kit ready. As we went down to the boat, I said to my brother in a bit of a panic, 'The doughnuts!' He ran back to the car, grabbed the doughnuts and we got on the boat.

After about 20 minutes journey out of the haven, the anchor was dropped and it was time to start setting up.

After wiping the sugar from the first of the doughnuts off my fingers & mouth, I turned to my brother and said,

 

'Where's our tackle box then.....................?'

 

Silence.

 

'You carried it onto the boat, didn't you?'

 

More silence.

 

After about what seemed like an age he replied meekly,

 

'I thought you brought it!'

 

I said,

 

'I brought the bait, what did you carry?'

 

'The f*cking doughnuts!'

 

2 miles offshore, no hope of going back, with the tackle box in the boot of the car!

I said to mate Terry who had organised the trip,

 

'Any chance of lending us a bit of tackle mate?'

 

Anyway, the boys on the boat sorted us out, after the usual half laughs and funny looks that you give to someone who's just done something unbelievably stupid, and we got on with it.

After a while, when I wasn't feeling quite so embarrassed, I said to Terry,

 

'Do you fancy a doughnut mate..........!'

Its a standing-joke now,Joe would forget his head if it wasnt screwed on,the other week he was checking every services and 24 hour gas-station at 2am for sweet-corn because our tins were back in his cupboard,all adds to the night though,hope he doesnt forget what I asked him for the high-street fish

good post mackem

[mackem 26,835]

3 hours in total Maty,there-back home-there,the thing is I had a gut-feeling when he said "AHHHHHHHH" It didnt sound like someone relieved to be having a much needed bladder-release after a long journey,it sounded like someone who had seriously f****d-up somewhere down the line and realised it It was funny,lifes too short and all that shit

We tried our best Jacob

I can Imagine it now :laugh:

 

3HRS I'm suprised you didn't get half way home in the morning and run dry

[mackem 26,835]

Joe did actually try and salvage something from a fu**ed-up situation and make out as if he was doing me a favour I could tell he was floundering though,grasping at straws when he told me "But you do like stopping out late dont you?"

[mackem 26,835]

When you said fight I only thought you ment a punch up. Should of twigged why the riot van was there. Lucky not many blades get pulled out round here, They just out number you and stomp on ye head

[mackem 26,835]

I think he just got his face slashed Maty,some sort of blade puncture wound anyway,Ringside seat for JOE,loads of excitement,made him lose his sense of objectivity and forget what he was supposed to be doing I knew he lived in a rough-area when I saw no M&S No Waitrose but a MORRISSONS Thats when you know an area is on the slide Ghetto-grub store
