Well they took me to a security room near the entrance and did a full body search even pushing a metal detector up my arsehole - the bastards they are. They did not do this to the kinki di Aussies. No wonder I have got it in for them. They told us a whole lot of bullshit anyway about not having weapons. Now getting back to Brissie club, what was the fallout over? |
