So nothing ever happens on my street, it's mainly full of old people who ocassionally die. Well just two doors along there are 2 police cars, a police van and a black van marked 'ambulance'.

For a while all these police where outside with truncheons, and a battering ram for the door. Thinkign something exciting was going to happen i saw them go up and force it with the ram and the crowbar.

People where crying. After they got in nothing much happened, but after a while guys in white body suits turned up and came out with a bodybag. I guess another Granny died...

Where do you live?

A small town in the west coast of Scotland.

Kahlo, any follow-ups?

a police car has been sitting there all day, but just people crying outside the house.

Someone in a suit went in from a porsche 911.

The excitement never ends

Yay, and i'm coming to visit. will i get immunity? y'know, because i'm american and all?














:erm:

i don't see why not. you'd get it in Iraq.

I was at uni in Glasgow last week, and on byres road there was an armed unit trying to stop a robbery. I got to watch it from my mates window...exciting.

fiddlestix. nobody ever dies here, they just get fatter

cool, i need to visit. Also wonderfull use of 'fiddlestix' it made me smile =)

smiling is for the naïve

Then I think I would rather forget the world and be naïve

For some reason Robert Smith reading the Beano is wonderfully disturbing

why are you coming to our peace loving and friendly country again =) ?

i need a vacation. badly. i'll be there in April. :)

A friend of mine works in that bank and saw the robbers on the CCTV system in the bank.

Awesome!! ...but is he/she ok??

They never caught the suspects I think

will you be around? i've heard mixed reports. it'd be great to hang out. I'll be in glasgow on the 24th for a day with paul.

I should be aye, i finish uni forever on the 19th so will be free... so might see you about, and i'm not far from Glasgow tbh

awesome. just didn't know if you were up for the hike. we could have a graduation drunkfest.

Sounds spiffy. I will probably be doing the 'clockwork orange' about then with some mates..a lifelong ambition.

From wikipedia:

"A subcrawl is a favourite pastime for Glasgow students. It is a pub crawl using the Subway to move from pub to pub. The nearest pub to each station must be visited, leading to a total of (at least) fifteen drinks consumed. See binge drinking. (this made me laugh)

On a similar theme is the more traditional ‘Half & Half Tour’, referenced in Iain Banks’ novel Espedair Street as the ‘Clockwork Orange Pub Crawl’, where the participants must consume one measure of whisky and half a pint of ‘Heavy’ (80/- ale) in each establishment visited."

uh, i'll probably see you at one of the pubs. but i'm too old to keep up with that. :/

unless of course i'm more of a witness than a participant. :D

To be honest, I think i'm to old for it as well!

Good, then we should party well together. ;) i'm more of a "if i'm drunk, i stay in one pub" type guy. otherwise, i'll appear as that stupid drunk american in the streets and the scots will beat me up. :(

Everyone thinks i'm Canadian due to my accent...so no doubt they will beat me up as well. How is that for cross atlantic relations?

That's funny. When my family moved back to the states, I got beat up for my slightly british accent. of course, this was in the boondocks of Texas. I shed my accent, but I'm forever scarred.

Awesome!! ...but is he/she ok??




She's fine. She said they had, or claimed to have had, two guns and a petrol bomb. :erm: I think the news said that they only had one gun though.

lol dont mess with texas

I've spent about 6 months of my life in Waco staying with family etc... I was shocked at just how soulless things where... how there was no community.

I used to walk all over the city to get some exercise, and people would pull over and ask If I had broken down... this happened 3/4 times... the concern was appreciated

I don't judge all of Texas on my experiences - honestly, it was in the middle of nowhere, but unfortunately, I still cringe at hearing "Texas". Maybe it's connected to Bush now, too, but damn, that was hell.

Austin rocks though.
