Police in Liverpool last night announced the discovery of an arms cache of 2,000 semi-automatic rifles with 250,000 rounds of ammunition,
10 anti-tank missiles, 4 grenade launchers, 20 tonnes of heroin, £50 million in forged British banknotes and 25 trafficked Ukrainian prostitutes, all in
a semi-detached house behind the public library in Toxteth.
Local residents were stunned and a community spokesman said: "We're shocked - we never even knew we HAD a library !."

That has to be fiction, Graham - 25 women in one semi ? - a recipe for war, that.

Bloke going to the football parks his car near Parkhead. Two street kids bail him up:
"Hey Mister, gie's a pound and we'll mind yer car fur ye"
"That's OK son, the Rottweiler will be looking after mah car"
"Fancy that, Wullie - a dug that kin pit oot fires !!"

Unfortunatly, I am sure that is not such a joke at a lot old sports venues. Years ago the the Washington Senators baseball tem played in old Grifith Stadium in a rather dodgy residential area. There were no parking lots so parking was on the street. You had to pay the kids to "watch your car" or else you would be paying to replace the windscreen* and more on your car.
* - windshield for the Colonists that may not be fluent in both versions of English. Why are there so many differences in car terminolgy, I wonder? Don't bother trying to answer that, just a rehtorical question.

A Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with his streak of generosity removed.
