Re: Re:
Happy new year everyone and here's to a prosperous 2015.
I had a goodish night at a private party held at a local cafe. The music playlist was very good, which is a plus, since I don't usually get to listen to music I actually like on a night out, as most nighttime establishments fixate on chart music. Anyway, I ended up feeling like a matron all night, as one of my friends was feeling emotional due to personal problems, so needed calming down every 45 minutes or so, and on the way home I escorted an old man home who had far too much to drink and was obviously vulnerable given that he was by himself. He couldn't walk in a straight line, he was hobbling, and when I found him he was walking across a poorly lit bridge which has a reputation for muggings and other such crimes, so I thought I'd better help him back to make sure he gets home safely. I got to know a bit about him too; he's originally from Greenock, Scotland (I'm not surprised, there is a large population of people with Scottish origins here), he would have voted yes to Scottish independence, and the SNP in a general election, if it was possible, and he works as a teacher at a local specialist school dealing with autistic children. Anyway, I got him home safely in the end; though he did fall over once when I loosened my grip slightly for a couple of seconds, and he was extremely grateful. He had been drinking at a pub, known as The Honest Lawyer, with his friends and I can't help but wonder why they let him travel back by himself in such a vulnerable state, some dodgy character could easily have taken advantage of the situation. Maybe they were tipsy themselves and were unaware of how bad he was when he left, I don't know, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt given that I wasn't there.

Re: Re:
Thank-you guys, but I'd like to think that most others would have done the same in that situation. It wouldn't have been right or fair to leave him as he was by himself, so I just did what I knew I had to do.
Sokol: How have you been? I haven't conversed with you for ages!

Haha, it's a good name. To be fair I don't blame him for drinking there; it's a good pub with plenty of decent ales and a good atmosphere.

All the hype is half the fun.
