Scott on the roll in Singapore driven round the bend and lampost and all

SINGAPORE - A Scott wee bit tipsy was driven round the bend after a good drink at the local pub in Singapore. After drinking in the infamous Towers of Sin,Orchard Towers, Neil Arthur ,a British engineer realised that he is in a jolly spirit. The Tiger inside or a spike drinks led him to a driving frenzy when he saw a truck , with a key in the ignitions. He really thought he was being pursued by barkeeps to cough up the shortfall. He tried to leave the scene quicky to escape his pursuer, it is all in his mind. In the company of his friends, Neil tried to show his truck driving skills,he had recently perfected. But the streets in Singapore has always been a wee small and narrow. So on turning on the ignitions, he took off , chased by the owner, who has been trying to lay some electrical faults along the road. Gleefully he stepped on the gas , but the signposts and warnings of roadworks refused to give way. And so he tried to scare off both. Unfortunately, both the signpost and lampost lost. They were badly bruised and taught a lesson, never cross the path of a Scot who has a bit of Scotch inside. It might be the Tiger, in the beer, or Johnny made him do it. Anyway, after teaching the signpost and lampost a lesson , he tried to make a run for it. It is everyman for himself. So he backed quickly, but the reversing lights and beeping sound was not enough for the lampost behind the truck. It refuses to give way to the Scots on the Loose. The bumper kissed the lampost, and the lampost, having seen his friends being badly treated, hit back. It overturned the truck. It did the tricks. The Pirates of Scotch or Penzance or Lands End was finally stopped in his track, lying on his side, beside the truck on the side too.

He was fined by the court of Singapore US$6,000 or (S$9,052) for stealing a ride. The lamposts and his good friend the Signpost were on the mend at a cost of US$38,000 (S$57,330) and for the hurt feelings of the owner of the truck. He was also banned from driving any vehicle in Singapore. Which probably entails another drink at the bar. This time around, he will take a cab. He could practically swim in the drinks for US 10000. Meanwhile his lawyer who pleaded for him , said he was remorsefull of the lark . After a good drinks, he went into jolly mood. His blow in the tube reads 1.5 times the limit for driving. He was actually in Singapore for a business meet, and it was to celebrate that he went to the Orchard Towers together with his pals. He pleaded that he need to go back to Scotland, back to his family. Meanwhile , the Court officials did not confirm the details of the Scotch on the Roll case. He could be jailed for drink driving if he done a circuit around Orchard Road. Or jailed if in the Gulf. Due to no human fatalites, after paying the price , he got Scott free , as they said it. Neil the man lives to drink to another day when he flies off to Scotland. He could start when the plane went into cruising mood, and its time to get back to realities among the Highland and Valleys of Scotland.
