I found out what it was in the morning.....
I woke up, STILL drunk in the early hours of the afternoon, and found thatI was cuddling a small and strange electrical device. It rather looked like a spinning top, but kinda transparent, and with a set of connectors on the bottom.

I still have it.

My housemates and I used to toddle around Huddersfield on the way back from our favourite pub, and "nominate" beer trophies for each other (which we had to aquire on teh way home). So accustomd to this habit we were, that we used to carry little adjustable spanners with us.

I have fond memories of watching one of us tackle a traffic bollard repeatedly trying to detatch it from the ground.... unaware that a paddy-waggon was watching him. Hilarious.

Anyway....

One of the Gusset-Sniffing Crotch-Monkeys had taken advantage of my beer-fuelled Bravado, and said I had to get a light-sensor from the top of a street lamp... And I'd done it.

I didn't remember getting the sod, so asked them o show me where I got it.. daylight, no lights on, and they pointed out one in particular... come night time, it was the only light that was unlit. Do you KNOW how high those bastards ARE??? Jeeez... I'd have been squished good and propper if I'd have fallen off.. there's a 2 meter horizontal bit at the top that I must have climbed along. and it's a fekking MILE away from the ground.

Irresponsible Cnuts.

No apologies for length at all.... I could have DIED so you're gonna bloody Listen to me rant about it.
Still got the winning trophy didn't I !!

hmm.... rather long innit?
