Don't push your luck sunshine.
I'd had more drinks than I should have and so when some kids decided to throw stones at my window because my dog was barking at them for sitting on HIS wall, I lost my normal mild mannered attitude.

After chasing them halfway down the road....not easy when you're running in zig-zags, and threatening to maim/kill them, one of the neighbours in the area I had ended up (about 20 minutes walk from my house), decided to call the Police. The kids had run off, but I was too pissed/knackered to move anymore. I think I was probably heaving into some poor sods flower border.

They questioned me about the prior events and I was 'drunk-calm' telling them about the stone throwers, i.e. I didn't realise but I was actually being a bit sweary and shouty. After warning me twice, the copper nicked me and I spent a night in the cells until I sobered up.

They fined me £40 and since I couldn't afford to pay it on time, they charged me another £75 on top of that in legal recovery fees.

Don't get arrested. It's expensive.
