It was Roger Waters "The Wall" Vash, they were a bit shall we say overzealous in their searches, selective of course, there were plenty of others that didn't get checked at all.
Poll must have picked the wrong guy on the wrong night, we three didn't get so much as a glance. Two ageing blokes, one bald the other so grey it's nearly white & a large teenage boy. Others in front of us were dragged out for the complete empty the bag treatment

You know what? Its the first time I'd been somewhere and just thought "Oh bag check, freaking hate them but nothing's gonna ruin the night" and I even smiled at the guy and was polite to him, not my usual bag check attitude at all. They can forget that now, packet of tampons in every bag and I shall be obnoxious to the lot in future

I reckon they must count so many through then pick on the next because they are just so random in selecting someone for a full bag search. There were two young girls in front of us that didn't even get a glance, then an old bloke with a hippy bag got searched [they were probably looking to confiscate his stash] then us that didn't get a second glance.

I only have two pairs so it's 50/50

No game today due to weather but much mowing, not a good trade ...

Yeh but it's good exercise and good for the soul.

Besides, one of us has to look physically stunning.

And I don't have gardens, they are yards.
