    The British Army used to send new army surgeons to Glasgow hospitals to train them for battlefields because they had so many stabbing and slashings. So may people getting chibbed up.

    Got to meet him at a comic con once. He was a very kind person. They were charging $85 for a picture with him, and when I said that I could not afford that because I was a single mom working at Pizza hut, he immediately stood up, walked over to me, and allowed me to take a picture with my cell phone for free. If I could, I would post the picture.

However he looks and sounds the part, and got his break, despite everything. I wish for my confidence and break to happen too. We should make physical deformities be embraced on the big screen.

Once I ended up in hispital with some guy , we fought and gave each other other some scars I carry till today. Well, we shaked hands and had a pint later.

      Usually means slashed more than stabbed, it's also slang for a weapon usually a knife or bottle' if you have something blunt like a bat it's called a cosh. Glasgow gets a bad name for violence and there is some right shiteholes same as any other city but I wouldnt want to stay anywhere else in Scotland. Like the saying says " People make Glasgow " you can have a laugh with people here and let's face it where else in the world can you rely on members of the public to kick the living shit out of suicide bombers who are on fire trying to set off a bomb in a crowded airport 🤣🤣🤣

      I, thankfully, haven’t been through that but I’ve witnessed it happening a few times and it’s absolutely terrifying! I just about kept the two alive for the ambulance to take over for me. I live in Northern Ireland and a place I lived in was crazy. Unfortunately, my 12 year old twins at the time witnessed “adults” get off their heads and slice themselves up. One in particular took a blade to his own throat.
