An unfortunate occurrence in the early night...

Bortusk Criminal Swag



At about eleven pm yesterday, we heard, thought we heard, noises of doors being broken down in the flat above us. We naturally assumed there was no one inside.

So, inspired by "Inglourious Basterds", we armed ourselves with an iron rod, locked the door of the abovementioned flat from outside, and rang the calling bell. To our disappointment and unspeakable embarrassment, it was our neighbour who opened the door, after properly identifying himself to the satisfaction of our belligerent queries.

No doubt we will do our best to forget this unfortunate occurrence as early as possible, but in the meantime, we console ourselves with the thought that in one of those many universes, we would have come face to face with a burglar and with a well-directed swing, taken the lid off his head, splattering the door red and white with the blood and brains of the evil man.
