It's almost as if the gesture itself is irrelevant and they're just desperate to play the 'well accccshually' devil's advocate role on behalf of racist scumbags. It's all very tedious stuff. The best part of that was when they started claiming the milkshakes were actually mixed with concrete. No, m8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The short answer is no, violence is never really acceptable.However, probably in some cases, it's warranted - if not necessarily deserved by the victim - thinking in terms of self defence or protecting a pal or loved one from someone else who is being violent.I haven't had a fight in God knows how many years and I genuinely hope that continues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My only fight as an adult happened about 20 years ago. Unlike the Bronsons on this thread, I have no idea how I'd cope in a fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know why they are there. Maybe they got smashed the night before and took a wrong turn out of their field. It's strange when gammon faced drivers of big powerful cars e.g. BMW, Audi, get frustrated by tractors. Surely they're all Tories together. I tend to treat Old MacDonald with respect and when they turn in to let traffic go past I acknowledge this. Drive nicely folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at a huge farmer wedding once in a field in Fife (posher than it sounds). Best stovies ever. None of them appeared to be short of a few quid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Also never been in a fight in my adult life but I'm certain I'd make quick work of any mug stupid enough to take me on. Spoiler Not really. It's bizzare how much violence there is growing up in Scotland, between kids. It seemed so normal at school that even if you never went looking for fights you'd end up in a few. I've spoken to people from other countries and they've said that's just not normal where they're from (I assume it varies from country to country but until recently, I thought this was just the same anywhere you went in the world). It's great that the vast majority of people don't end up in fights as adults but it makes you look back and wonder what the f**k was going on when we were kids.

Its crazy how the ‘gang culture’ has sprung up, it also seems that wee dafties think it makes them hard men to run about with knives and even stun guns nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hardly a new phenomenon though - 100 years ago Glasgow had regular 200 a side knife fights. It’s probably far less prevalent and carried out by scruffier folk now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 100% agree with you, and a lot of the hangs were sectarian. The Billy Boys is a song about Billy Fullerton's gang. I believe he established a branch of the KKK in Glasgow, which was created to target Catholics. But there were similar gangs on the other side, the Tim Malloys, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they all know one another through the likes of Snapchat etc. It all started dying down with MSN - not necessarily a good thing. It just gave opportunity to wider spread gangs with a different intent than being 'hard'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full time/part time is possibly a better distinction. Most dealers at the level above the consumer have jobs. Above them are the guys with the weapons and doing money laundering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
