Hi,
I didn't get on the ferry to Isle of Man, today, (Saturday), because of problems, at the Ferry-terminal.
When I went in there, two guys from SGI, (a security-company), wanted to look in my bag.
On guy was unshawen and the other guy had greasy hair.
So I thought these could have been criminals that wanted to steal my bag.
But on guy showed me his ID, and he worked for 'SIA' it said, and his name was Mr. Morton, (the unshaven guy), or something.
The Police was also there.
(I don't know if the ferry company called them).
SIA was happy with me to go with the ferry.
But then the captain, (John?), told me I couldn't go, because of something on my blog, taken out of context.
And someone had sent him a e-mail-threats, in my name, (he said).
(He had a printed e-mail there that was folded, so I don't know who sent it).
A Police officer with number '8156'.
Wondered if I could close down my blog, since someone sends threatening e-mails all the time, in my name.
But there's something called freedom of speach, isn't it?
So I just said I could close it if I wanted to.
(But that would be to give in to terror, I think).
The Police officer told me to tell them if I knew who sent the e-mail, (in my name).
I said I'll do that.
But that's really their job to find out, isn't it?
Seems the Police want's to have a 'cowboy-image' and are afraid to be called nerds, and therefore don't want to investigate e-mail-crime.
Something like this.
I used to work out at the Adelphi hotel in Liverpool, after a collegue, (Karianne), recomended this hotel for working out, (when we worked at Arvato, in the Cunard Building).
So I thought Adelphi seemed fine, at the Isle of Man.
I thought you perhaps had the same owners, (or something), you see.
I send a copy e-mail to my lawyer since someone make my life hell, by sending fake e-mails in my name.
I just thought I'd go at an Easter Holiday to Isle of Man, and have a look at the Thynwald etc, (with the viking-ship-flag), to get away a bit, since I haven't been out of England, since 2005.
But unfortunately, due to the ferry company, this wasn't possible.
But I didn't want to argue, with the captain.
(After September 11th etc., I don't think one should do that).
So I just said I would celebrated Easter at home, and left the ferry-terminal, (but I had to chat with the Police-offer, while I went out of the 'ferry-company-area'.
Sorry that I didn't explain earlier why I didn't go to get the room, that I'd book.
But I thought this scene was very embarrasing, so I thought I had to go and drink some lager, before I went home.
The Police-officer also wanted to know where I lived, so I wondered a bit if Police would be on my door, when I got home, so I went and had some pints, because I had had enough embarasment for one day.
Sorry about this!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
