Does the UK have a version of the Miranda speech

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

BWAHHH!!!

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.

yes, they do, but it's not as defendant friendly as ours. Need to watch The Bill again. Want BBC America, dammit.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

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!"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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?!?!?

jimi! Angus! Other people that are watching Buffy in real (Australian) time!

A friend (who watches Buffy, which is different to a Buffy watching friend) just called to talk about last night's show.

Her opening comment.. "Good, Giles is back. But they seem to have forgotten his spine."

Also.. for those watching in real time, American style, she defined it as the episode where Buffy does the long boring speech about war and battle. Of course [ that didn't narrow it down for me one iota ] !!!

eeeps.

(And I'm really hoping that fixed the white font.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Am I just making this up or did drugstores used to be places where kids in the 50s would meet for milkshakes and stuff? I'm sure I've read things like "we sat down at the drugstore counter and ordered two chocolate malt shakes".

You can see it in It's a Wonderful Life. George makes Mary an icecream ("say brainless, don't know where coconuts come from?") and then Mr. Gower sends him off to deliver the pills which later become so pivotal.
