The night was ok, but there was this thing at the bar that looked like the infected people from 'I Am Legend', but after 19 pints of thinners and a DIY brain operation .. He was luckily ignored by my overseas' companions, and given a wide birth. Yesterday's freak was the biggest, most racist numpty I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. He was also very thick, and looked like the sort of person that would like to fight you, for saying 'have you got a light mate' ..
