I didn't get home till 5.30 (from a supposedly 2am stand down time) - those helpful police just kept bringing us drunk people lol. That's what I get for being in Leicester Square (I'm one of those really lovely St John Members [we didn't meet, don't worry] - at least, one of those people thats lovely on the inside, while the outside remains as ugly and visually offensive as always). It's good to hear we were appreciated. Where I was, we were inundated with drunks all night and didn't properly start packing up till 4am, and between 12.30 and 3am I was almost casualty to casualty, sometimes jumping between people as we had so many. And we did this all from the back of an old style ambulance sporting the new tag of being a 'treatment centre' (which made me chuckle slightly). 'Lunch' was a self heating tin of beans and those sausages of processed meat that reminds me of fine ground spam, and the nearest tea/coffee facilities were a police vehicle at the centre of the square (they were, however, fantastic about sharing, and throughout the night were amazing in helping whenever we needed it), although I only ever saw a half cup of coffee. It rained, we missed the fireworks and were instead treated to a panoramic view of how the sky will look and sound when World War 3 breaks out, I stepped through vomit, piss and possibly nastier fluids, from which only my boots protected me, I got obscene gestures and a view that will haunt me forever (namely, a big hairy ass bared for all as he lay on our stretcher) from a guy that had crawled passed our treatment centre (literally) only to be found by police thirty minutes later sleeping in the entrance to Burger King in a pool of his (or someone else's) vomit, and all the night we had to deal with rubber neckers who insisted on watching us treat or trying to take pictures of our casualties (till I put my face between them and the stretchers - for some reason, they didn't want pictures of me telling them to piss off), and after all that I come home stinking sober on New Years Day. So, see you next year, yeah? :-D
