Alcohol makes you Handsome, Strong, Fearless, and irresistible…




…..as well as ignorant, stupid, irresponsible, and deaf.


Saturday night was very q***t, not much happening at all, the local nightclub has shut down, and the ‘big fight’ was on Sky. So it was a procession of domestics and prisoner transports. Being in the ‘naughty bus’ with the cage in the back we where called to shuttle a few rowdy individuals and drunks, plus a couple or burglary suspects to the nick. Nothing to taxing or exciting.
What struck me as we cruised around is how stupid pissed people look when they are trying to walk around, and how incapable of following the slightest instructions. Worst of all they just never know when to shut up when told.

We were called to a ‘grade 1 domestic’, which means we have to blue light it to the scene as quickly as possible. On arrival there was a distraught middle aged lady, pissed, crying in the garden, a middle aged man, pissed, in the kitchen and a twenty something not quite as pissed, up stairs leaning on his window sill smoking,

“ What the fuck do you lot want, come up here and I’ll fucking lamp you”

Charming.

I talked to the older bloke, trying to calm him down, it was difficult due to his ‘drunks amnesia’ and having to answer the same question and listen to the same statements about six times. Eventually my colleagues got the woman to stop ranting and crying and the lad to chill out and we left if not happy at least safe in the knowledge that there weren’t going to plunge kitchen knives into each other. I sympathise to a certain extent and they will get a call from our domestic violence unit, for family mediation…but if you know things are a bit uptight…don’t get pissed as a fart it just makes things worse in every possible way.

 We got another call from the cctv operators telling us a man was pushing and shoving a girl, trying to make her go with him, obviously a serious matter, turned out to be a couple, she wanting to go and stay with her mates him wanting her to go with him. She was tearful and adamant she didn’t want to go with him.  Long story short after telling him to go away more times than we had the patience for and more times than he deserved before being nicked he eventually sidled off. We got another call from the cctv about ten minutes later telling us he was following her. We saw him staggering out of the kebab shop, and then her coming out of a flat a few doors away.turns out she had phoned him and told him to come….  I give up
