My father had one of those
and was genuinely outraged when it was taken off him when he emigrated to England. Rightly so. I'd love one.

Back when I still
used a cane/ walking stick for walking, I almost bought one. Sadly I couldn't find one old enough to be an antique (and thus legal) and yet strong enough to support my weight.

I'm pretty sure even if it's very old
carrying it around in public is still classes as possession of an offensive weapon.

no-one would see it though :(
and it's not like I'd actually use it

Kind of defeats the point of having one then doesn't it

nah I quite like them
still given the choice between the two options, I'm perfectly happy with option a) not needing a cane at all

This is bloody weird
If you two are going to have a conversation whilst Al's using that nick, could you wait until I've had coffee please?

Are Chase and Cameron
the best looking (ex) couple on TV?

Sorry, no idea what you mean
I refer you to my previous point about no coffee

A night of watching House
has warped my brain

Dammit!
I knew I should have recognised the name Chase. When you said Cameron I assumed you meant Dave

Everybody on House
with the obvious exception of Taub, is gorgeous, but Chase and Cameron still take the biscuit
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 9:13, Reply)

I dunno
I'd go for 11 over Cameron. Or Cuddy, probably, I reckon she's filthy

I can find no fault with this logic
Ironic really, Grey's Anatomy is supposed to be the fluffy, girly hospital drama but its cast are (slightly) less attractive

House is superb

Yup, you could be done for carrying a concealed weapon.

Is it technically emigration to cross Hadrian's Wall?

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 8:43, Reply)

No.
But moving to England from Canada (where you have lived since you were three and are now 27) is.

I'm no expert on international statutes as regards expatriation of citizens from one country to another
so I'm just going to assume that you're right. If you don't mind me asking, when did you cease living in Scotland?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 8:50, Reply)

I've never lived in Scotland.
I am a Scot in blood only.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 9:24, Reply)

Ah
Intriguing. So you're an Englishman of Scots-Canadian heritage.

That's not intriguing at all, I don't know why I said that
