Bit harsh that YOB, A public flogging is a bit over the top but shooting them nah.

Public floggings, when they existed, were judicial.
Shooting one another's asses off, I'm sorry to admit, is the American national sport.

Those genius founders who respectfully relieved George III of the responsibility of sorting us out
inexplicably codified that into our constitution...but you already know that.

That is a true reflection of life in some parts of Glasgow. Try watching Chewin' The Fat next!

I've got to see if I have Chewin' the Fat on the viewing menu.

Those juvenile delinquents on Still Game are exactly what happen when neighborhood police don't have Glocks.
I know it's just fiction, but you admit it's a fairly accurate depiction,
and most of those kids would never reach adulthood here where I live.

The Scots are clearly a patient and benign people. Bless them.

About five years ago they had a farewell to Jack and Victor [Still Game] live show in the 8,000 seater Hydro in Glasgow.
Initial tickets were for a few nights but demand was so high that they sold out something like 15 nights in a row.
Legends.
Boomer if you didn't like or understand it why watch 8 series.:unsure::D

If you haven't been to LA before, hire a car and hit the Pacific Highway. Walking along the prom at Santa Monica, Venus and Redondo beach is great fun.
Universal Studios Holywood is brilliant.

When I were a lad, I could tell if your were from Bolton, Bury or Rochdale.
Bury is my 2-3 times a year pilgrimage for “ provisions” ? from the market. Grandad had a couple of pubs when I was a kid. Two ships in Rochdale and Black Swan in Heywood.
I was in Man Hester for the Xmas market 2 weeks ago. Day after a drive up to Bury. Called into a place called “slatterys“ for breakfast. What a glorious place that is. ?

It’s one I have looked at Ken, but alas the trip to LA is a cruise destination via the Panama Canal. It’s for my 60th. ?
