Thats not bad' then I looked again and realized that's just in May. That reminds me, the local Swedish (actual real life) nazi party is having a demo soon in Stockholm. It is going to be a clusterfuck of nazis vs antifascists and I will be as far away from that place as possible. Still, I am hoping for some sweet police brutality on the news  Another stupid question: Which unruly demonstrator would you beat the hardest, the nazi or the antifascist? Or would you just watch and take bets on who wins the fight?

I would def beat the nazi the hardest but visiting the site of a concentration camp will do that to you Also I had an awkward conversation with a partner once where I expressed that sentiment, and I thought he was agreeing with me. Until he expressed sympathy for the neonazis and said he'd "gladly sit back and watch them express themselves on those hippies".  Thankfully he left our agency. He was like the only dude I could have a reasonably informed conversation about guns with at work though.

Scotland needs to calm down. I need my sweet sweet Laphroaig and I don't want any international disputes getting in the way of that. Is it really that bad? I picture Scotland as a place of rolling grassy hills laden with sheep and burly men with thick sweaters. Have I been seeing it wrong?

I was in Glasgow for less than an hour the other day before I saw a fight break out for seemingly no reason in the middle of the day. It spilled out into the road and the local traffic just drove around them.

Such awesome and fine drinks will continue to be produced right up until the world ends or Scotland falls into the sea. The countryside is truly beautiful and some of the people are unique, a touch fighty to each other granted, but that's also in part attributable to alcohol so refer back to my first sentence.

Well, I'm supposed to remain fair and impartial but I'd be looking for any excuse to fight an actual Nazi. I've locked up two Neo-Nazis but they're kinda rare in NYC. They both went quietly.

Straying into the schemes would be ill advised. They would identify me as an outsider never mind an American. It's an incredibly friendly city, just a bad reputation in the past and some decreasing issues with poverty and drugs and continuing issues with alcohol and sectarianism.

The sort of place that you might get a Glasgow kiss or chibbed is the sort of place that you would look at from the outside and think, "That place looks a bit ropey, maybe I'll trot up the road" It's the same in London, Belfast, Manchester, Birmingham etc. In Cardiff you can get a kicking at short notice anywhere thanks to the valley commandos and the same in barrack towns like Colechester, Portsmouth, Plymouth (the Royal Marines will fight you and then rape you, not always in that order) I have very slight London accent and different lingo that puts me in far more danger than a septic one.

I'm sure you'd pick up on the change. Had to let an American tourist know the other day that walking about swinging his very fancy and large digital camera was ill advisable in general never mind our area. Better safe than sorry and all that

So what do the police mean when they say they are investigating a fatal shooting as an "unintended incident?" Is it suicide or did they accidentally get shot by a family member?

An accidental discharge is a mechanical defect causing the gun to go off on its own. A negligent discharge is a mental defect loving around with his finger on the trigger.

Usually I did four layers or regular kiwi black. With each layer go over it with a lighter to soften the polish. The fifth layer would be parade gloss w/ the silicone and then buffed with a horse hair brush and a nylon stocking. I really want to try leather luster though.

I always think, when there's a possibility in a shift at work I may have to tell someone their loved one is dead it's only right I don't look like a sack of poo poo. A quick layer of polish then a buff on the boots isn't too much to do.

I keep a pair for court and a pair for work. The court pair don't see much use unless my court day is my work day (rare), I usually just wear a suit. Also I'll never make death notifications (for the foreseeable future) so.. yeah.
