I spend a lot of time in London for work, and I'll tell you this much...my neighbor there wouldn't stand for this kind of crap. He's pushing 80 with a bad ticker, and I saw him give a solid headbut to some young punk who had stolen his dog and was trying to extort him to get it back because he thought he was a soft old pensioner. One of the funniest things I've seen in my life. Took Mick out for a few pints that night, and we had quite a laugh down at the pub with the rest of the crew! He's well beyond twice my age and I wouldn't mess with that guy!
They didn't bust him for possession of a deadly head?
He is part of the old guard
Anthopos - Mick let him have what is colloquially known as a "Glasgow Kiss." Sounds like he was quite the lad in his day..and still is.
Did he get the dog back ?
