Aye DA
A canny choice of car .
Chances are that you are unlikely to encounter any of the urban horrors that lurk in Scotland, they tend to be confined to public transport, where I was assaulted last year on a bus last year, and curiously enough, fish and chip shops.
My brother was hit over the head with a bottle whilst coming out of a chip shop near Glasgow a few years ago, they caught the criminals, but my brother suffered from migranes for years after.
Then a couple of years after this I happened to be leaving a chip shop when I found myself confronted with a pack of thugs (or Neds as they are called around Glasgow) ' Yer Teas Oot ' shouted one then swung his boot at me, however I managed to swiftly step aside and grab his boot,then pushed back causing him to toppple over.
At this point his mates lunged towards me, badly outnumbered and fearing the worse , things looked rather grim at this point .
Incredibly I then saw two policemen running to my aid , the sight of the Police caused the thugs to flee, I recall the Police manged to arrest at least two of them who were taken into the back of a Glasgow Police Van for counseling...ie a good kicking.
Never had I beed so glad to see the Police I can tell you ...
But rest assured DA as long as you avoid Public Transport and Chip Shops, not that an agent of your stature would be likely to be seen in either, you will have an excellent and trouble free stay.

The canny contractor always has large amounts of needful clink put away for a rainy year.
Aye Im still here in Brussels,longer Im here the more I like it, altough I would prefer to live in Ghent.
Dont worry youll soon get a wee contract, for Alf has spoken thus.

Kate Moss has no appeal to me. It'd be like going to bed with a bicycle.

Originally posted by DodgyAgentThat is fine Alf. She is however a public (highly paid) figure that supposedly represents the type of people that her clients want to sell their products to.
Impressionable girls do not need her as a role model so her clients should ditch her.
I agree with your point, let me add to that that no model or public figure has been rebuked for smoking nor drinking which I consider hypocritical as these substances are as worse than Cocaine.
Again she didnt set out to advertise her cocaine abuse but was, as far as I can gather ,intruded upon, well its all part of the price of fame I suppose.
PS Good luck in your journey to the old country Scotland !

kate moss and girlfriend. (Not really "I want to touch myself" material, but OK, if you've got a good imagination)
What could thay be saying to each other?
"I want you"
"It was so good last night"
"touch me again in my secret place" etc etc etc etc

Originally posted by AlfredJPruffockI think here the important point is that whatever we might think of the person in question, they are quite entitled to their private life.
I find it abhroent that ones personal life can be intruded in this uninvited manner, but perhaps that is the price of Fame, in which case rather her than moi old chum.
Now ...where did I put me stash ?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame

She's certainly no beauty, that's for sure. With her figure she doesn't even look like a woman, rather a girl. That said, most of these so-called supermodels aren't exactly classical beauties.
Ultimately, should we really care whether she has had lesbian flings and uses drugs? She's a model, and it says something about our culture when such people are elevated as role models and we devote so much of our time trying to bask in their glory.
People like Kate Moss can only set a bad example because they are given so much media exposure and because we are happy to encourage children that to be 'cool' and 'famous' like her and her ilk is the ultimate goal in life.
