might be tough to do since they outlawed glass mugs too, now only non-breaking plastic approved

I know that they wrote a bill or something about that, but I don't know if that has actually gone anywhere.

Anyone ever seen that Elisha Wood movie where he is an American journalism student studying in England and gets wrapped up in futbol street gangs? I think it is called Green Street or something. I expected it to suck, but it was actually pretty good.

EDIT: I looked it up. It is called Green Street and came out in 2005, post LOTR.

That's actually why I wouldn't want the gun laws in the UK to be anything like they are here. People often say America is a violent culture but the amount of casual, drink-fuelled violence in the UK is ridiculous.

Apart from the silly "let's all meet up on a piece of waste ground for a final showdown" scene, Green Street is a pretty accurate summing up of a typical Friday night in the UK. Throw some easily obtained handguns into the mix and London would be like Beirut but without the charm.

The whole plastic glasses thing is not an example of the nanny state not trusting its citizens with glass, it's that getting glassed is a very real problem in some pubs. Although I was over there in October and I drank out of glass everywhere I went. I guess I go to the right places

Oh and I picked my wife up a West Ham hat while I was there as she loves that movie. She can do a better London accent than I can when she's wandering round the house singing "I'm West Ham 'til I die."
