Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

But reading further I'm not sure to put it mildly that this is a reliable source. At any rate I don't think it is worth further effort or posts.
I recommend For God, Country, and Coca Cola by...er, I forget, but I expect it's on Amazon. Cracking book. Read it five or six years ago, but it was quite the eye-opener.
Does the UK have a version of the Miranda speech (you have the right to remain silent ...)? I think I heard something like it on today's "Waking The Dead" and I was wondering what the full text was.

ita - I believe it goes,
Pardon us, we don't mean to intrude at such a trying time, but we thought perhaps, amidst all the commotion, there were a few things you should consider keeping in mind. It is terribly important that you remember you have the right to hold your peace. If you ask us, this world would be a spot better off if we all tried doing so from time to time, not that you did ask of course. And if you will allow us to be a tad blunt, well, you are already in a sticky wicket, are you not? Saying something that could and will be used against you, is probably not the prudent course of action. Right, then. Furthermore, you of course realize that you have the right to contact a solicitor, but we do find reminding folks in situations such as the one at hand, does come in handy. Please enjoy your stay. Pip pip. Cheerio.
BWAHHH!!!
runs off to COMM.

yes, they do, but it's not as defendant friendly as ours. Need to watch The Bill again. Want BBC America, dammit.
Yes we do, although, alas, it's not quite as civil as the one posited above. (Assuming the Miranda speech is the whole "You have the right to remain silent, but anything you do say may be taken in evidence and can be used in a court of law blah blah blah you're nicked mate cakes")

Ah. I was doing Giles when I should have been doing Ripper, or Bitter!Wes.
Hmmm... doing Giles, Ripper, Bitter!Wes. thud
If I've been watching the Bill like I think I've been watching the Bill, which is more often than I should, then I think it goes something along the lines of "Oy! You're nicked!"
Want BBC America, dammit.
Wrod.
WAIT a damned minute.
Need to watch The Bill again.
They're showing it on BBC America? Why in sweet hell did no one tell me?!?!?
