One fine afternoon a couple of months ago, I found myself staring out of the window of a city pub, wondering why I was so bored and lacking any excitement in my life.
The beer tasted crap, I was listening to the same drunk nonsense I’ve been listening to (and partaking in!) for the last ten years. You know how it gets, public house politician’s moaning and whining about how bollocks their lives are, and how they have all the answers if only they were in power. If only they would get off their arses and do something to change the situation, that would be a start!
While stuck in my negative bullshit state of mind, an amazing site appeared bobbing along outside the pub window. Suddenly the pub was transformed, and people you’ve seen in the same chair for years but have never spoken to before were full of conversation. What was this sight of wonder and boredom shaking excitement that threw my local into born again fascination? TWO POLICEMEN ON THE BEAT!
