Mr. Michael and the giants in the Duck and Drake
John Eggett
here Mr. Michael in Mirfield.
Well, that was an adventure and no mistake. Drinking all afternoon in
the Head of Steam in Huddersfield. Black Sheep and very nice too. Talked to
a man who blew his brains out inhaling lighter fuel. Off to Leeds on the
train.
Somehow the wind got colder. Took a look at the naked beauties on
city-square to cheer meself up a bit. Navigated successfully to the Duck and
Drake. Down through the dark end of town. Motorbikes and black leather.
Boarded-up windows.
Got there a bit after six hmm.. How do I recognise people who belong
to a newsgroup? Wandered round a bit looking conspicuously large and dressed
in a tatty black pullover. Looked all sorts of strangers in the eyes. Hmm..
Went for a walk and came back half-an-hour later. Did the same things. Same
results. Sat down in the back room where I could keep an eye on the
entrance. Drank Theakstons. Loud,. A group of shaven-headed giants came in.
Looked as though they had been training somewhere. Old Wotsisname was
rounding up the empty glasses in exchangefor free pints. Edith came in for
her Friday night half. Went on another little round, looking people in the
eyes, even the shaven-headed giants (which sent shivers down me spine).
In the end I went outside and leaned conspicuously on a lamp-post, had
a fag. Felt cold and lonely. Went back to Mirfield about quarter-to-eight.
Shame I missed you.
Anyone in the Original Oak Sunday lunchtime?
Peace

presume....front? back?) just about everyone who came in was wearing black
and I gave up trying to identify you and hoped you'd see me in my blue top.
Shit, next time we'll have to wear T shirts with a bright red target on or
something. We were in at about 6.15 and to be honest, by about 7.30 I was
ratted. Must have sunk about 12 pints by 9pm.....I don't usually drink that
much honest! Not a good idea going out so early perhaps.....
Oh well, back in Lincoln now. If you come this way, you're welcome to doss
on the floor and partake of our local brew.

a guy passed us with lakkie bands in his hair holding his ponytail back??
Also noticed he had suede brown trainers on.
but looked too big to ask if he was from Leeds NG!.
Didnt see any skinheads in bike leathers (apart from me)!!!
Then I just drifted into a drunken haze.
<never again>
Who did set that church on fire!!!

I thought I was big ´til I saw them skinheads. No brown suedes
though, grotty old falling-apart black German paratrooper boots. Why
is it that boots are at their most comfortable just before they fall
apart?
