ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo Had to look that up. Still not sure I understand it. "By ra way".....do they play soccer in kilts a well? No kilts, but judging from wednesdays game body armour and artillery may be have to be used in the next one. Old Firm games, of course, are the famous Glasgow derbies played by Rangers and Celtic. 'Tongs! Tongs ya bas..' is the famous battle cry of the Tongs, one of the multitude of Glasgow street gangs (or 'teams' as they are usually known.) As an example: Gegso and Bugsy fae the Tongs are walking past Bridge street subway station when they spy a member of a rival team, the Cumby, who had been trying to 'cop off' with Bugsy's girl a few nights previously. The stage is set: Gegso: "Here, Bud, int that dobber him fae the Cumby that wuz firin' intae yur senga the other night?" Bugsy: "Aye, man. Pure mental, man. Ahm gonnae dae that mad rocket, by ra way." Gegso: "Aye man, let's get pure steamed intae him! Gegso and Bugsy both draw their chibs from their tracksuit tops, Gegso a meat cleaver, Bugsy a samurai sword (I'm not making that bit up - Glasgow is probably the only city on earth where katanas are regarded as perfectly normal equipment for a night out.) Busgy: Haw, You! Tongs! Tongs ya bas!.... They steam in. Much posturing and sudden violence. The end. Buckfast is a tonic wine made by the monks of Buckfast abbey in the south of England. It is a favourite of neds as it is cheap and gets you there - fast. It is the famous 'bendy juice' and bestower of 'the Bucky rage.' It is disgusting but ever popular. Whiskey may indeed be Scotland's national drink, but Bucky is Glasgows. Hmm, Google Translate was no help.
