I was having a moderately shit day at work today, but then I saw a COUPLE of MFB* FIRE RESCUE BLOKES. OH DUDE. I WAS INSTANTLY HAPPY. Their "uniform" (as they call it. I call it a costume) is a bit different from regular firies who have the yellow pants-navy top-red braces combo (which I know and love). Fire Rescue Dudes have heavy-duty brown

Did they also make out with each other for extra tips??!?!??!? If they had, I would have given them ALL MY MONEYZ! But, unfortunately, I think they were a little bits shy and only made out in sekrit in the big red fire truck.

not nearly as massive and depressing <-- This made me laugh. So true! And everything is always SO OVERPRICED. That's sort of what makes it the most depressing. Although, British service stations (called gwasanaethau in Welsh, which is the best word ever) are better than French ones. Which generally consist of a few graffiti-ed walls and some holes in the ground to pee into.

London to Scotland sounds like an amazing trip! I've not quite got to Scotland yet, though I keep half-planning trips.

Oh noes, I sorta feel sorry for Gary for dying all the time! He obviously doesn't mind but I can imagine it could get saddening, as a fan. (Also, I hope this trend doesn't follow through to his Jim Gordon role.) Thanks a bunch for the recs! Is it wrong that "Prick Up Your Ears" appealed the most, simply because of "You get to see him get it on with various boys! yay!" ? :P

good-O then!

It's also the fluro lights. And those big souless diner bits, with the terrible coffee and the congealed food. Which is all overpriced. Yeah, terrible places for people with no choices. The servo, or DEATH.

Oh god, I love Scotland. We travelled around for about 3+ weeks. It was awesome. My grandma's grandma came from Skye - which is an utterly beautiful place. And the Orkneys - beautiful in a completely different, haunting way. And the whisky! I want to go back. But why is it so far away??! *pouts* *uses most Scottishist icon to make up for it*

Prick Up Your Ears has a terrible ending though, be warned! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead shows all bar the boy-kissing (IMO), so I'd recommend that one as well, if you just want slashiness. I hope this trend doesn't follow through to his Jim Gordon role - I was worried about that in the latest Batman flick, with the Gordon's fake-death bit. But all was well, it was just Gary being tricky! :)

We don't tend to eat at them (other than for freshly baked cakes/muffins/Danishes) because they are soooo overpriced.

I'm an eighth Scottish. :D Couldn't tell you what part of Scotland, though we have a Scottish surname and thus a tartan. ;) If you ever come back, let me know!

Also, completely off-topic but I have to share it with you: In the paper today, in one of the ickle tidbit two-liner reports, a fireman got into trouble for flirting and driving his big red fire truck round to someone's house to drop off his keys. ;D I couldn't believe it after all our firey conversations!
