    When I worked in Maine the most common bumper sticker I saw on cars was;

    'Welcome to Maine. Now spend your money and **** off'

    The second most common was;

    'Welcome to Maine. If you're lucky you'll catch lobster, if you're unlucky you'll catch crabs'

    I found it quite a friendly place
    Me, me, me...

      I visited there on a few occasions with English Army mates of mine. Even drank in Rabbies with them. None of them got picked on.
      I expect in your case the fight started simply due to your innate twuntishness. With your outlook I expect getting your head kicked in is never much further away than a gormless mouth opening. Could happen anywhere, probably does.

        I'd have thought McTavish's in Oban would've been more suitable for Troll...

            I moved around a lot when young. but spent from 5y/o to 17y/o in a tiny hamlet in northern canada. I reckon it kept me outta trouble because everyone knew everyone else, so crime was pretty low. It was surrounded by native reserves however which had its social effects - mucho drunkeness.

            After that I've never lived anywhere more than 10years. I'm already now planning where to move next. The wife wants Madeira, I'd like to go to Calgary, Canada.

                    In my little town -
                    I never meant nothing

                    I was just my fathers son

                    Saving my money

                    Dreaming of glory

                    Twitching like a finger
                    On the trigger of a gun

                    Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
                    Back in my little town
