I havn’t done a top fives in ages. The last one was movie car chases, about 4 months ago! Im staying with the movie theme and tonight it’s movie fight scenes.  Apologies to the ladies for another guy type of post. I promise to do movie love scenes next time.

im not saying these are the best of all time, just some of my favourites and i hope everyone will chip in if ive missed out any good ones.

5/  From Russia with love:  Im a bond fan and this might be the best Bond film ever made! Some of it was shot in Scotland too.  Here we have our Sean Connery against Russian agent Robert Shaw. Extremely violent for its time (1963) and always edited when shown early.

4/ The Warriors: This film was full of fights but this one is epic.  Again its violent and the movie was controversial when realised in 1979.

3/ The Phantom Menace:  the phantom whit? is what i said when i first heard the title. This is by far the pishest of the 6 Star Wars movies, i wanted to strangle that Ja-Ja Binks with his own tongue, however it did have some good moments and i think this one with Darth Maul is the best lightsaber fight in the series.  The actor playing him is a Scot too.

2/ They Live: John Carpenter once again! fuckin brilliant director.  This movie is one of his most underated (and i thought his were all underated)  It stars the wwf wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper and is well worth a look if you’ve never seen it.

1/ Enter the Dragon: The scene when Bruce Lee takes on an army of guards.  Some would say his fight with Han at the end is more memorable but i disagree, this scene is so stylish i could watch it again and again.

Have i missed anything? Chip in with a memorable fight scene people.

I just heard Corey Haim was found dead today. He was a good wee actor from the 80’s who starred in one of my favourite films The Lost Boys.

The Thrills wrote a well known song about him in 2004.

Sad to hear he’s gone.

It was my wee maws birthday at the weekend and i planned to do something special for her.  She loves the weatherman Sean Batty, fucking adores him!  And keeps telling me to be more like him. 

So i jumped on the bike in freezing conditions and shot up to Aucheneden hill, which i think has the best view within easy reach of Glasgow. Its only 4 miles north of Milngavie.

My plan was to snap of few good shots and send them in to big Sean and see if he would show one on the telly.  I sent them in my mums name so he would give her a wee shout out, which would make her day. (Fucking gentleman so i am!!)

So i get to the top. Its a heavy trek in the snow around a half mile up. Its a glorious day and im thinking the pictures will be so good that big Sean will be licking his fucking lips, and they’ll be on the telly for sure!

Before i’d even snapped 1 picture i decided to take a wee video.  I put my crash helmut on the ground… and it slides away to fuck!  40 yards back down the hill!  My biker boots have no grip and i cunt it most of the way down splitting my hand on the way.

This time getting back to the top is harder because the helmuts fallen off the beaten track and the snow here is knee deep but the thought of my wee mammie’s face spurs me on and i get 30 decent shots of the campsies and ben lomond. 

On the way home i met a competitor in the World Harmony Run, which i didn’t even know was passing through Scotland!  The guy couldn’t have been any nicer and even let me hold the harmony torch! http://www.worldharmonyrun.org/great_britain/news/2010/scotland/0305 

Wasn’t a terrible day after all.

A story concerning two people i know appeared in the Daily Record the other day.  Sadly a friend of mine died recently and another guy i know (who isn’t a friend) stole a valuable ring from his open coffin.  Have a swatch at this http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2010/03/04/grieving-family-s-fury-as-sick-thief-steals-ring-from-coffin-of-dead-man-86908-22084526/

Its fucking unbelievable.

Scotland has a football team for Polish migrant workers called Polonia Glasgow.  As far as i know they are the only Polish team in the country.  I shot some of their sunday league match today,  they were playing my friends team Tullichewan up the Drum at the Donald Dewar centre.

Whatever the coach said at half time it seems to have worked. They eventually won 4-2.

I just heard 3 people died in a plunge from the Red Road Flats up Springburn,  formerly the tallest flats in Europe.

1 person falls from a building you think possible accident or suicide. 

2 people fall and you’re thinking certain suicide or foul play. 

But 3 people!  Whats happening up there has anyone heard?

I pure fancy her. I saw her on news 24 today with a stunning new hairdo and nearly dropped my dinner plate. She’s the one! im certain this time.

There’s a barrage of 999 traffic up my bit.  Every cunting day and night. If its not the polis its the firemen or the ambulance crew or all 3 together.

Tonight it was the fire brigade with ambulance support. That was me just in the door. Im not even here half the time yet i still notice it everyday. 

Its not a terrible scheme, but they’ve crammed 10,000 residents into an area around a half mile squared. If anything happens, everyone knows about it. 

Housing is still a big issue in this country. I saw Govanhill on the news yesterday, described as the worst slum in Scotland with people paying over £500 a month to live in death traps. Profit before people is the name of the game up there and whoever allows those slum lords to make a fortune from the poor, needs a heavy boot in the baws or fanny.

I can’t remember a spell like this ever. Weve had Tank Commander, Limmy, Rab C and now Burnistoun more or less back to back.

Im looking forward to this, i thought the pilot was excellent. Favourite sketch was REAL GUY!

fuck me, another full moon on auld firm night, the second this season! You know what cunts say about a full moon!

So far my area has been fairly quiet, a few cunts from either side singing songs but nothing has broiled over yet.  I went out on my bike and the polis were everywhere, for a change. I saw two cunts get huckled into an unmarked polis car, but the polis were in uniform? What the fuck is the point of that? What were they thinking? “we’ll take our hats off and everycunt will think were from the salvation army” or something like that.

I wish this pish would come to an end. This endless fucking rabble of nonsense. Folk hating each other over a sporting outcome. I can’t think of a soloution but this auld tune sums it up quite well..
