Advice from the Peelers
More advice from the Peelers:
I think this one is about getting spam messages on your mobile phone, so perhaps all of those chinese text messages I receive inviting me to a “Super Happy Fun Party” in a warehouse by the docks might not be legit. The police however seem powerless to halt the tidal wave of dangerous firecrackers being sold openly on the streets of Shanghai.
These little tubes are filled with some kind of pixie dust, if you throw them at the ground they make a lound bang and terrify any girls within a 15 metre radius. They’re a bit like a similar thing I had as a kid, but way more powerful and dangerous; bits of shrapnel fly out eye-wards when they go off.
Very dangerous, and yet I bought 6 or 7 boxes of these on Saturday without anyone checking my ID to make sure I was over 16. What if I had been an evil-doer bent on World domination?
The whole situation thing reminds me of the time I tried to get into the famous ‘Cheers’ bar in Boston- I only had a UK drivers license as ID and the guy on the door refused me entry until I could show nothing less than a Passport signed by Queen Elizabeth herself:
“Because of the whole 9/11 thing”
He was quite right to do so.
