Breakin' The Law'I'd taken some mushrooms in a pub,' writes Allen Smithee, 'and things had got a bit odd. People turning into goblins, barstools into toadstools etc. I wandered off from my friends and found myself in a carpark. I noticed a huge liquorice allsort driving towards me and Bertie Basset got out. I kinda realised that Bertie was a policeman and my brain went into paranoid fast forward. I decided that I must be being arrested and said, "I'll just get in the back of your car, Officer" Bertie looked at me with disgust, "Not bleeding likely sunshine. Just piss off home ok?"'

Whilst working in a bar near the Strand in the early 90's..It happened to be a fellow bartenders birthday, so we arranged a bit of a piss up at a bar called The Roadhouse with a load of mates from other pubs. Unfortunately one (who happened to be Northern Irish), couldn't get the night off so decided to phone a national newspaper saying that he was a member of the IRA, and that a bomb had been planted in the Strand Palace Hotel. He also made up a 'code word', think it was windmill or something. Hilarity ensued when half the Met seal off the whole street up to Trafalgar Sq and part of Covent Garden (emptying the Savoy hotel etc) while this bloke comes into the pub 20 mins later with a big grin on his face.
100% true.
