Hmm - We have win and fail.
Win! : I got free tickets to the Hairy Bikers show at Aberystwyth Arts center off a mate, and I should be able to ride my moto down there and back in a reasonable amount of time.
Fail!: That's the university Salubi(who loves the hairy bikers) and her psycho scumbag of a boyfriend are going to, and as she loves the hairy bikers, and he'll lay out any amount of money if it gets him reward sex, they'll probably be going. I have some choices -
1)Go along, ready for trouble, but openly, since I'm not exactly hard to spot, and if they see me, a fight will break out. I won't lose this fight, you can put money on that, but it will cause unnecessary trouble, and even if I end the fight without hitting him, it will be bigger trouble, because suffice it to say, the police don't take kindly to that thing - and you can bet your arse that a big, burly rugby player losing a fight to some "pathetic little coward loser" like me would end in the police knocking on my door due to an "anonymous" tip.
Advantages - I will be showing the little bully I'm not afraid, and I don't have to go to any effort. Also, probability of having the satisfaction of getting to take him apart in the name of self-defense, and melting his pompus little ego like butter under a blowtorch in the process.
Disadvantages - Trouble, and lots of it.
2)Go along, but disguise myself - Dye my hair and beard with wash-out dyes, change the style of my hair, a touch of stage makeup and maybe a prosthetic or two, wear clothes the ex won't recognize, carry extra gear for on the fly changes if needed, and change a few other things, like my gait and stance, etc, etc. No trouble will be likely, but the cost of the extras (hair dye and spirit gum) will cut into my budget.
Advantages - I love gettin' my disguise on, and I'm damn good at it.
Disadvantages - Cost.
3) Don't go.
Advantages - No expense, No trouble
Disadvantages - I don't get to go to the Hairy Bikers for free, who I'm a huge fan of, and I don't think I'll get to see them again any time soon.
