Had a wander through Tradeston yesterday, up as far as Shields Rd, then caught the subway back to Bridge St. for a wee donner over to the Green.
I'm meandering along the main road through the Gorbals when these 5 fuckwits appear on the other side of the street around a hundred yards away. I'm often out on my own, so my danger radar is always up. My first thought was "Carry on, they'll ignore you, or about turn, now if you about turn, you'll only alert them" So I keep walking, it's broad daylight on a busy road after all.
I get to within 20 yards of them when the bare chested, skinny, shaven headed one at the back claps his beady eyes on me. Aw fuck, I see him start to veer towards me, It's written in blood, inevitable, shit. He's really up fot it, his eyes never leave me, such fucking chemicaly induced anger, this is serious stuff. I'm thinking "I'll smash my camera right into his fukking rat like face, fuck him, he's not walking away from this one"
He steps off the pavement to cross the road, shite, is this how it ends....
His mates who must have partook a little less of the madness meds are saying to him "He's no evin lookin et you btw, fuck sake man chill oot ma man, fuckin guy's jist walkin up the fuckin road" At this, a corner presents itself & I'm exiting stage left, over St. Andrews bridge as fast as my lanky legs will carry me, the empty eyed cunt is shouting the odds behind me, fuck you, i'm back into civilisation. Sometimes I hate this bastirt city.
