Winter update

And so to a few days furious writing to make up for not writing for weeks:

The R_____ Hall Debacle
Having not yet been to a 'disco' (ie not a ceidlh) at this local landmark, I volunteered to be on the door at a fundraising disco and noted the following points.

* The doors may open at 8pm, but no-one will come til 12
* As the bar shuts at 1pm, everyone will drink like hell for this hour
* When the 'doors' close (also at 1) the smokers will cause merry havok (curses on the smoking laws in Scotland)
* It doesn't matter if you are a girl, drunk people are still going to physically try to force their way into the hall, like it is the most important and exciting opportunity of their lives (which for some of them it probably is)
* Keep your thumbs OUT of the fire door (ouch)
* The police will sit in a car outside the entire night, however the punters will be seemingly unaware of this, and presume the island is a lawless state
* A crap disco is always a crap disco

So, all in all, I don't think I need to be doing that again

I'll stay at home and poke myself in the eye with a blunt stick next time
