The Tigers Eyes

Arlo, myself, Mat and Lee lived 5 doors down from an Esso petrol station on Caerleon Road in Newport for our final year in Uni. When drunk Arlo seemed to 'collect things', I think the law may have seen it as Criminal Damage ;), but we'll just call him a collectamanic for these purposes ;), so to Arlo after a night out and a few bevvies, he liked to bring home trophies to share with us the day after. Our front garden became littered with traffic cones, street signs and rubbish which he'd usually collect on a Friday night, but he was yet to get the ultimate trophy... The tigers eyes from the top of the Esso sign outside the petrol station. One Saturday morning I came down to find the Tigers Eyes stuck to the glass above our front door. How an earth hed managed to get up the sign, pull them off and get back down without breaking his neck knowing the state he'd been in the night before was a miracle lol. But 'the eyes' didnt seem enough to curb his enthusiasm, so as the Friday nights out continued we slowly gathered the VISA, Mastercard, Switch, Maestro, Access signs which all became stuck on the glass above the front door. How an earth he didnt get caught, or we didnt get a knock on the front door as these relocated signs were fully visable to the outside world I don't know. But he was definately most proud of the Tigers Eyes :)
