Irene's Blockade

This morning me, Dan and Irene headed up to the North Gate for a relaxing day of poetry writing and reading (thanks to Eve Ensler for the Vagina Monologues and the Older Lesbian Network for 101 Poems against War).

The M.O.D. on the gate were most surprised to hear orgasm noises from “The Woman who Loved to make Vagina's Happy” but possibly more surprised when after 4 hours sitting happily on the pavement myself, Dan and Irene spotted an opportunity too good to miss.

Irene locked on by D-Lock to the front tow-bar of a Thrifty minibus while I stood in front of the van smiling sweetly. Once Irene was secure, I spoke to the driver who was extremely nice (thank-you whoever you were). It took about 10 minutes for any policemen to arrive while I stood in hi-vis preventing anyone from running over Irene. When the police arrived they asked the usual probing questions, dillied and dallied and dallied, dallied and dillied.

After a further 10 to 15 minutes of accumulating sun-tan, the cutting team arrived, almost blocked the road for us until they noticed Dan taking a picture, and Irene was released very quickly, carried, searched and bundled off.

While I'm here I'd like to mention Strathclyde Policeman 145 who was very nice and allowed me to provide Irene with water and cigarettes..............I bet you've always wanted to be famous!
