milligan's saviour... c/o : the deep blue dreams.,

Later, as we sat in the locked up bar sipping drinks with cigarettes lit, that was the straw that broke the camels back, says milligan, that fucking man sitting there in the fucking urinals, going on about the floods, I’m going to tell my probation officer about this, and my alcohol councillor, and my drugs councillor, all of this, I’m going to say I’d rather be in jail., the straw that what said the woman beside in a half shriek., broke the camels’ back., and he recounts again the details of the scene before while all along behind him over his shoulder I can see his saviour hanging on the wall., his saviour was in a frame on the wall, it was some tie that someone had lent him for the court case he had recently attended and got off with community service, although it was a big dose of it, somewhere in the region of two or three hundred hours of CS. The tie was badly framed. Someone had used a staple gun and too much silver rig tape to force the frame shut. They had managed not to crack the glass but still the knot in the tie bulged out at the back corner. In a bad and clearly drunken attempt at some sort of calligraphy some idiot had scrawled “milligan’s saviour” above the tie with an arrow pointing at the tie as though no one would guess it referred to the tie and not the picture frame. Also in the frame was a news paper cut out of the article in the local press titled “pot factory to fuel drug habit busted”… well, that was about what happened.
Things were beginning to look up for milligan of late though because recently he had managed to get himself on an educational course instead of doing the community service. It was more than one could believe though to know that the course he had got himself onto was a horticultural course… so it has transpired that the government is paying milligan to go on a course to teach him to grow plants better because he got busted growing dope, a lot of dope in fact, nearly a hundred plants under lights. Milligan laughed that he could probably teach them something about growing techniques… is that karma or what he says? It shouldn’t even be fucking illegal!

But right now Milligan is still spitting about this guy who had passed out in the urinal complaining about the flooding, jesus, what kind of cess pit is this place he said? Looking at the manager…

The frame didn’t last long on the wall. Later that night milligan tore it off to rack up lines of coke on, then took it home as a memento…I guess he had a point.
