Wham! Bang! Dang!

A few weeks ago I was chatting to a comedian after a show. He'd made his first visit to Doncaster the week before and was keen to tell me of his impressions of the place. He'd been surprised to see everyone smartly suited and booted for a mid-week outing. His preconceptions of the place were soon confirmed when the first fight started within the space of an hour. It doesn't take much to get the women riled in some places.

I was quick to reassure him that whilst our town may not be the most desirable epicentre of culture, it was actually a reasonably pleasant place to live with very little anti-social behaviour populated by warm friendly people. I was considering showing him just how warm and friendly some of us really can be when there was a loud bang, quickly followed by another. Some local scrotes had thrown bricks through the window. The scene I'd been setting was quite literally shattered. I drove home alone.
