No cows on the Ice
Hi folks,
The writing of this blog entry finds me in good humor and health, despite a small altercation with the doorstaff at Ballbreaker bowling last night, but more about that later...
We are still in Swedish full on summer mode, it was a half day down at the beach today. Working on the tan and kicking a ball with Luka, its quite lovely although the water is still ice cold, it isn't compulsory to swim, however, so today I didnt.
We had a wonderful meal round our neighbours Kirsi and Jockey's this evening , complete with beer, wine and whisky. Just what I needed after my eventful time last night. As I write this I am full as a swine in a turnip field . God bless you both K&J!!
Ok, about last night,
Well , it was one of our yearly works booze ups, involving good food, bowling and lots of drinking , not nessicarily in that order. A good night was had by all , and all the photos will be shown on here or my facebook sometime soon, however, at the end of the night, after having misplaced my camera and then finding it again I ran into a little problem. Out of sheer lazyness I shall just post a copy of the mail I sent the manager of the establishment this morning, rather than having to tell it all again....
Further to my mail that I sent last night, I would like to give you the details of my assault which occurred in the elevator as I was leaving Ball Breaker.
I had taken a photograph of one of your doormen, which I said I was going to put in my Blog, as part of a report on what a good evening I had. He became upset and asked that I give him the camera so he could delete the photograph. When I refused to hand him the camera he and another doorman bundled Me and my friend into the lift where he bent my arm behind my back and forced me to the ground. He then took the camera from me and erased the photograph.
During this incident I lost the hands free to my Mobile telephone and suffered bruises to my arm and side and a sprained wrist.
Fortunately I was able to save the Image of the doorman from my camera with some retrieval software and I include the photograph so there is no mistaking who was responsible. His colleague was a bigger guy with dark skin and a shaved head.
I spent 10 years in England running Bars and Nightclubs, so I feel I am in a position to be a good judge of what is and isn't acceptable behaviour and the incident last night went way beyond the doorman's rights and into the area of assault.
However I also understand that the actions of an irresponsible individual do not have to reflect on an entire organisation. On the whole ,the evening was a good one with good service from the rest of your staff, which is why I am giving you the chance to respond to my complaint before I involve the police.
I just wonder what the idiot doorman had to hide?? Here he is, for anyone who is interested....
If you see this guy, tell him I said hello!!
Anyway, apart from that little incident, everything is fine and dandy here, I am looking forward to some well earned holidays in a couple of weeks, a week up in the north of Sweden and a few days in England with Luka will be very nice indeed.
love to one and all ( and get well soon Dodgey bloke!!)
Lee.
