Round up September

 

My mother departs for her relations today.

A very happy birthday to Victor! Feliz cumpleanos !

QPR are currently unbeaten in the championship. The most recent Old Firm game, ended with a 1-0 victory to Rangers. Ireland lost to Portugal, despite saving a Ronaldo Penalty. There were more than a few whispers about the referee  While England won against Hungary 

My travel plans are still on hold. I have had a quiet week at work, boosted by the Long Weekend. 

ABBA have reformed 

I was the pub I normally meet my brother at on Sunday night. There was due to be a live musical performance. 

Earlier in the day, the pub had held host to many viewers of  football match. I think Liverpool v Chelsea So there was a large crowd in the bar 

So at a table sat two older men. They were both white haired, one of the men walked with a stick.  The pub where I drink attracts a diverse group of clientele - It is across the road from a railway station So you get people waiting to catch trains. Close to the pub is a nightclub so the pub is often full of young bucks, and beau's 

Anyway the two older men  are sitting next to a man of Asian or Arab extraction.  From now referred to as Mr A. Mr . A  was much younger than his two older tablemates . So I don't think they are friends- Rather they have been thrust together by a crowded bar and the Premier league. The young man shouting something about his drink. I thought he was at first accusing the Old's of drinking his drink. It was a pint of Heineken Served in a long tall glass- that seems to be part of Heineken's branding. Than  I realize Mr A is shouting that his drink has been spiked., He hits one of the older men in the head. The bar staff, put Mr A out the door, and tell him he is barred. but they do take Mr A's  glass and say they will check the CCTV

One of the older men comes to the bar. Raspy English accent he asks why they have to test the drink. 

They tell him they will check the CCTV

One of the bar staff storms out from the back, asks the older men-what did they do to Mr' As drink. 

The two old men are told they are barred for life. The bar staff try to hustle them out the door. With Mr A- outside the door. Events come to a head. So the police are called. A few policemen turn up in a large van.  They police are taken to to the back room to view the CCTV and then take a sample of the drink, and presumably a copy of the recording

They return later to check the toilets. Some joke takes the policeman hat, but is politely told to return it

A strange night
