| Absolute madness... |
| Sunday, 1 June 2008 |
I couldn't compare it to anything I've ever seen or heard of because I have never seen or heard of anything like it. It's not quite like football, there was definitely a smaller, different kind of violence around. It was more the reckless behaviour from the people out there and the amount of alcohol being consumed that worried me.
It all started in good spirits but the problem is that the tube can't cope with the numbers that turned out. People don't realise the dangers of an overcrowded station, especially if it's overcrowded with drunk people.
Ok, I'm pissed off! In fact pissed off is putting it lightly....I'm fucking fuming! Tfl knew this was going to happen and the top brass in the job knew what to expect yet we had the numbers for a normal, ordinary Saturday night. I could hear absolute desperation when my colleagues shouted for assitance as they came face to face with a 200 strong group. I could hear a lot of shouting, barely able to understand what was being said though. I was unable to help, I had my own numbers to deal with and in a minute it might have been me pushing that emergency button.
I'm in a strange mood today, partly disappointment...a lot of adrenalin still running and certainly exhausted. |

Oh, I know bawpc. It must have dreadful.
What I couldn't understand was why those wallies even did it. I couldn't see the reaoning behind it. So, alcohol has been banned, just as well.

Hopefully now you have revived a bit... may your days be quieter and your nights quieter still.

Footy duty..........can't beat it, if you want to compare it with your head in a bucket of something horrible. Can't get my head round it at all.

I'm young, yet grown up, I'm scared yet brave, I'm pretty yet the little ugly duckling, I can love, I know how to hate, I'm passionate, compassionate, impatient, fiery. I share, I talk, I love (again), I like to be on my own, I like companionship. I'm complicated...because I'm only human.
