"I was a prime suspect! (remember the anarchy symbol on my beanie). They had seen me come into the store that morning, and wanted to confirm my identity and my validity as a member of the staff. The manager also told me how Special Branch had been amazed I gave them the slip, particularly given that they specialize in undercover observation in terrorist cases. After being told this I went back to work on the shop floor. The guy in the trench coat was at the front door of the shop when I got down there. He looked right at me, smiled and then nodded."


brilliant, a classic classic story !! You could easily publish this in FHM or something.

HAHAHA I can picture you now, with anarchy symbol on beanie, paranoid as fuck trying to work out what the hell was going on...

Really mate, that was worth the wait. I think giving the special branch the slip was great too and nice of the guy in the trench coat to acknowledge that.

The 'telephone box' escape was.....well, inspired.....meant or otherwise.

Glad to hear no one was hurt in the explosion. That was a close one.

top post !!

oh, and that was one helluva girlfriend you had back then


(edit: i just wanted to add that, as 'classic' as the story would appear to be now....i can appreciate how scary it must have been for you at the time. respect brother )

danm phil,

i remember about 2 or 3 months ago at work you saying about this.

i actually know eltham very well as well as woolwich and the surrounding areas.

its very strange reading that as i can picture the whole thing in my mind...

all i can say is respect bro, on what only could have been one of the most fucked up experiences anyone could have ever been through...

jaysus man, you know i'm shit scared baout the whole roz and the baby thing, not saying anything against your situation at the time but i'm sure roz is slightly scitzophrenic in her own way. (thinking i'm having an affair when i'm down the pub (and she knew this) with people that we had both known for years and the reason we had met).

fear is a bitch and can play with your mind in some of the worst ways possible. i'm glad you survived it all and have become a fine person.

Paranoia is also a fucker. "Just because you're paranoid... Don't mean they're not after you..."

Respect.

JD

Spook-

Great story man. I have had drug induced paranoia at times as well, only mine was groundless. I can only imagine the tension involved in that situation. I think it is cool that you were also in a heightened state of mental activity and were able to 1> identify them and 2> elude them.

and people say drugs are bad for you! Makes you smarter, I say!

I wasn't going to read this because you had told me the story on the phone. I'm glad I did anyways. There were some things in this that you didn't mention. Good read, thanks!

*hugs*

I'm getting cooler by the minute!

Interesting read man, just remember this, the next time you think someone's following you, jump up and down screaming "I AM YOUR LORD AND YOU MUST NOT FOLLOW ME FOR FOLLOWING ME WILL LEAD YOU INTO MY TRAIL OF FIRE!" then run off quickly.
