Oh my god!! Go to bed!!!

How are you this evening?? Oh I guess it's 7:20 there so that would be morning to you!

tired, & just about to make green

you

No I am not!! I haven't been off from work that long yet, it was a ruff night!! I need a couple of before I

ruff HA ya should try getting a cab a 6:30am in London's west end if ya want ruff

Try anytime in Houston's 5th ward, actually I don't even know if they will go there

cowards
i'll go anywhere if ya pay me enough

Remember we have guns here!! You can go into Wal-mart drunker than s**t and by one as long as you have your driver's license with you Oh,but they won't give you the bullets until you leave the building

here you have to go to pubs in Hackney & I don't think they check your drivers license either

You can buy a gun in a pub?? but at what price?? I am sure not as cheap as wal-mart

Hey but is legal to carry a consealed weapon?? It is here!! It doesn't take much to get a license, just money!! and in Arizona you can carry a gun as long as you have it showing, you know wild wild west

it's not legal, but trust me there is no shortage of guns in London

Hmmmmm How would you know??

Price, cheaper than retail of legal firearms,
how do I know, doing my job at night you can meet some quite shady characters (there is nothing like having four tooled up Yardies in the car to make think twice about overcharging) plus I get to see all the Police Armed Response Vehicles racing around. I think Totenham or Hackney (the only place I've been caught in the crossfire of a gunfight) are the nearest London's got to the wild west

What do you do?? What is tooled up?? and what are Yardies?? I think I know but just want to make sure! Remember we have different slang!!

Yardies = Gangsters of Jamaican origin
Tooled Up = Armed
Me w**k = Private Hire (like a Taxi but i'm not licensed to pick up off the street only bookings A708905 )

Okay that's why you are up at all hours of the night!

Here a Yardies are prisoners, and I was thinking tooled up might mean being on drugs! hey that's why I asked

If I may quote that great Anglo-American Winston S. Churchill
"Two nations divided by a common language"

Yes that is sooo true!!! I am always asking what someone is talking about

Just be thankful I don't use cockney rhyming slang

would ya Adam and Eve i'm off up the Apples and Pears because it's time for Uncle Ted my old china plate.
