Long Live the Entrepreneurial Spirit! And Beer!

I can’t control myself – I must show it: Mister Public Security Uncle photographed by a professional photographer!

It was the night before Halloween and I was strolling around Central with my vice-Security officer, Bak Siu Jeh, making arrests and ruining lives wherever we went.

Spurring ourselves and others on with the old battle cry: 香港人講廣東話，聽唔明就返鄉下！(Heung Gong yan gong Gongdong Wah, teng m meng jau fan heung ha – Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, if you don’t understand it, go back to your ancestral village) we swept through Central like two avenging, moustachioed angels.

My plan was to hand out as many business cards as usual to ‘increase awareness’ (so popular these days) about Cantonese, but instead I fell into the competent claws of an entrepreneur, the professional photographer Gary Tyson from F8photography.

As soon as I saw the camera I forgot all about flogging my course, and not long after we were in D26 drinking beer through a straw. Excellent Halloween! Loving the photos! They make the Uncle look like some kind of brooding anti-hero straight out of Raymond Chandler (who grew up in Croydon, did you know?) I think. A very fitting look.
