"Raising the statue will, in any case, only result in people injuring themselves attempting to put the cone on anyway: does anyone really think that a raised plinth will deter drunk Glaswegians?"
Indeed!

Just do what the US would do.. mount a permanent guard of armed cops with 'shoot to kill' orders..Geraldine wrote:"Raising the statue will, in any case, only result in people injuring themselves attempting to put the cone on anyway: does anyone really think that a raised plinth will deter drunk Glaswegians?"

Not only because of the blood thirsty armed cops, but because in the US setting the drunk Glaswegian (and his pals!) would be armed, too!
Not a pretty picture to draw before your inner eye…

Wheat beer, eh? I used to enjoy a Hoegaarden or three, back in the day.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

We haven't reached the Gestapo mentality yet, but mighty close with Obama dictatorship.
We would just put up those gosh darn poky cameras , record the activity and then put them on shows like american favorite movies, cops, outrageous police actions and even on Utube. nothing quite like public humiliation. What ever happened to stocks in the main square *sigh*

Re: Got to love Glasgow.
Not necessarily. Obama gets a lot of criticism from the left as well, because many of his policies (especially regarding matters of security) are virtually indistinguishable from George W. Bush's. Drones, anyone? The continuing existence of Guantanamo, anyone? The still totally overblown "Homeland Security" apparatus, in which nothing has changed, anyone? The ongoing war on whistleblowers, anyone? The total lack of any consequences for the warmongers of '01-'08, anyone? And last but not least, the total surveillance of practically everybody on this planet, anyone?CommRLock78 wrote:LMAO!! Really dude? I suppose you still think he's from Kenya, too?

Re: Got to love Glasgow.
Ahh, Hoegaarden. I really enjoy that from time to time. I have over 25 of their half pint speciality glasses with an offer they were having of buy four bottles and get a glass free.Cody wrote:Wheat beer, eh? I used to enjoy a Hoegaarden or three, back in the day.

I still have a Hoegaarden glass, but mine was 'borrowed' from my local pub back in '97 (I did know the publican well).Fatleaf wrote:I have over 25 of their half pint speciality glasses...
