Death in Leicester Square
A friend and I stupidly decided to go on a fairground ride run by some Pikey Scum in Leicester Square... It was one of those pirate-ship type things which go back-forth-back-forth-UPSIDE DOWN!! for a while... We weren't even pissed at the time.

So we got in and pulled the restraints down, and I commented that they were "a bit loose", my friend said they lock down when it starts moving...

And did they? Did they fuck! So every time it swung forward the restraints flipped up, while we shouted "fuck-fuck-fuck!" and then it went upside down and just stopped there... The restraints flipped right up and we were hanging upside down about 100ft above leicester square, with absolutely nothing holding us in place apart from our fingers, screaming blue murder.

When the death-trap eventually came to a halt we staggered out and I told the Thieving Gypsy Bastard that our restraints didn't come down, and he said "well yours might not have worked, but his should have been fine"... Then he just shambled off to have a swig of cider and dump some burning mattresses.

Did I see a bright light? Did I fuck. All I saw was the pavement about 100ft below, and little knots of tourists milling about.
