    Congratulations Sheila x

    Ended up working at the club tonight ,it was like an episode of shamless ! They were having drinks for a guy who had just come out of prison ,all of them were hammered ,guy was tagged and had to be back by 7 ,please don't think I am being horrid but this is a guy who has been in an out of prison all his adult life ,all his mates were drunk ,all throwing money around ,none of them have ever worked ,so can only assume were the cash has come from ...some how I don't think it will be his last prison stay ... And yes I know he has done his time just feel sorry for his last victim .,don't think they will be living it up in a pub

    ,.....OK rant over

    Yes ,pity he left with about 30mins to spare ...but if he didn't if the police had to come and get him it would have been a riot ....
    Really not trying to judge how people spend there money, just shocked at the normality of the whole thing ,...I know everyone is different and have there own reasons for there actions but his crime was not nice ,remorse ? And his mates treated him like he was some long lost hero ... Example of money spent our takings were about 3 times what there normally are ....

    Hmm the long lost hero bit is NOT good, it sounds as though give it a year and he won't be in the pub because he will be resting at her Majesty's again :(
