@Clutchman83: Here in the UK (dunno about North America) they've got a really fantastic setup, with heavy weights like David Frost (as in Frost/Nixon)

@lucky_you: In the East and the South maybe, but areas in the North (like this article says, inner Mongolia) and West are pretty well empty

@disposable157: Personally I think it's refreshing seeing characters cope (or not) with the absurdly stressfull lives they lead in a human fashion, with emotions and jazz

@Dirk Anger: dead on, though they have slightly different names in Arabic (the Islamic liturgical language)

@AdrianTheRed: I always see that swagger as being a defense mechanism, it's why it still manifests itself in absurd/innapropriate moments and I think having an ass fighting monsters beats a stoic boy-scout any day

@Jimmy Tango: I agree with everything you have stated and therefore say; "This!"

@Kenro199x: no, i meant that they scrubbed the episode, not the show- if they had after that cliffhanger i'd have headsploded with rage ;-)

@engtech: agreed, without Nathan Misfits is a poor man's Heroes with ASBOs

@Kenro199x: You do realise that one episode of Sherlock (25% of the whole series) was so bad they just scrubbed it?

@Jeriba: truly, you live in a barborous nation ;-)

@kalaeth: reckon you could convince a would-be mugger that your were skint? before you're all on-the-floor-bleedingly anyways...

@holographicProfessorMoriarty: that was largely based on Middlesbrough, which is as close to the Walled City as you can get in Western Europe

@Tom O'Daighre: hells no- I have a lot of friends in Hong Kong- and they said they'd never have gone remotely near the place, made South Central look like Mayfair

@kalaeth: untill a heroin addict beat you half to death for your wallet

@Jeriba: Definitely the latter- the age old tradition of stealing cider and babysham from half-pissed parents... I thought such practise was global

@Dr Emilio Lizardo (generic): you folks don't get wholly rat-arsed on cheap booze on Christmas?

@frankenstoen: If it was so easy, the terrorists (or communists or whatever other boogeyman) would've done it years ago with the water supply.

@CrakinShOt: But they still use it to read the points on Eurovision! surely there is no greater mark of linguistic importance

@PeterLorre: You never have tea with a bunch of folk in your living room?

@wild7s: different countries, different legal systems
