Dude, you really do attract them

So I'm walking from work yesterday at a fairly brisk pace, enjoying the still-balmy weather. From behind me walks a tall burly-looking fellow. I live in a rather rough area, not so much that I'm apprehensive about walking around, but such that I'm cautious and as a result I didn't want much to do with this guy. He darts out in front of me and turns to face me, walking backward. He looks about to see if anybody's looking, they are not. Then he looks me in the eyes and opens his long coat. Keep in mind it was sunny and 30 C yesterday and nobody in their right mind would be wearing a coat.

I expected to see:

His willy
Drugs
A gun

perhaps

stolen human internal organs

However, what I actually saw was a teapot. A medium-sized copper teapot attached to the inside of his coat. It wasn't even especially good-looking. It was just an ordinary teapot.

I stopped walking and asked him what was up. He responded, "Nothing, MAAAAAAAAAN!" and bolted across the street, nearly getting hit by a car in the process. It was certainly the most random thing that's happened to me in a long while.

A nice Police Officer just visited the office to look at some CCTV footage..

Sgt Smith, first name Kevin.

I kept a straight face, just

I would have had to quote a few lines, or call him silent bob.

Earlier today a couple of Police Officers dropped by my office. As it turned out they were after information about the estate rather than CCTV. So I supplied them with a contact number for who they should talk to and they happily wandered off to 'follow the line of enquiry'.

About an hour later I noticed a wallet on my desk and thought "wuh?"

It was one of their warrant cards.

Yes, I sniggered

Had a quick look at the cards in the wallet, found the number for his station and gave them a call so they could tell him where his warrant card was.

About five minutes ago a sheepish looking Police Officer returned to my office to collect his warrant card

Lucky him! If they lose it properly, every station (and officer I guess) in the country is informed for obvious reasons.

*ring ring* *ring ring*

"Good afternoon, Housing Patrol."

"Hello, there's some trouble in ***** street, some people with guns."

"I'd advise that you contact the Police."

"Well I'm advising you because you're the people that look into anti-social behaviour."

"The Housing Patrol Service operates between 6pm and 2am, there are currently no staff in the office. In any case I'd advise you that this is a Police matter and not something we'd deal with."

"I'll call back at 6."

*click* *brrrr*

*sigh*

Once again enjoying an afternoon smoke, stood on the street at Argyle Square, I was approached by a young Canadian Girl who asked me where Madame Tussaud's was.

I advised her of it's location and she asked if she could walk it or whether she should get a cab. I replied that it'd take her a while to walk but that it was possible.

I should've printed this off for her really.

Still, pretty random to be giving directions to Madame Tussaud's from a back street in Kings Cross
