Balle Balleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This post is dedicated to a fan of my blog. She described it as “cute” as she said she could hear my inner voice.. (although right now that would be quite husky as I lost my voice on Saturday night) Hmm now I’m not sure if “cute” is what I was going for when I started this blog but to be fair, I’m just chuffed she thinks it’s good enough to be described in that way!

Anyway, so what do you get if you cross bhangra music and police?

Simple… The West Midlands Police bhangra night at Tally Ho! in Birmingham on Saturday.

I was once told that all police dos in the past used to end up with a bit of a fight but I’m glad to say I witnessed none of the sort after being invited by a friend of the family.

I had a great time with Indian food, dancing, screwing in light bulbs and turning taps.

Normally, I only ever deal with members of the Force who are under direct instruction not to make much conversation with me so it was quite refreshing to hang out with a few, who were able to let their hair down and boogie the night away.

And we had a blast. It was also lovely to see people both Asian and non-Asian mixing and trying out the DJ’s suggested dance moves. I even taught a few dance moves of my own. Ok, well it was nicked from my other half… wash the clothes, rinse the clothes, hang up the clothes on a washing line… Hmm maybe I should try to get a clip of him doing that to put up.. hehe

One slight blip to the merryment however when an over-enthusiastic PC (I think) got carried away with his light bulbs, slipped and tore something in his knee. Ouch. They then had to clear the dance floor to make room for the paramedics. But he soon stood up and hobbled off…what a trooper!

Maybe I could convince the Post & Mail to do something similar?!
