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

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.

Heh, this is so true. There was all this cool stuff within the ep itself, but once we got to the final scene my extensive eye-rolling strained a muscle in my brain and wiped the rest of what happened from my memory. I love Buffy as a character, both back when she was all quippy and innocent and now when she is less quippy, but also so much more comfortable in who she is and what she has to do. And I liked the first part of the speech, because she was hurt and it was all about her ('cause stoic!unfeeling!Buffy is quite annoying for me), but then there was the rallying. And it just. went. on. and. on. I thought maybe my spoiler-whore-ness were just getting in the way again, but I think other people had the same reaction without the benefit of foresight.
Edit - for my clumsy fingers, and to add this since I missed Jimi's post:
Most of the students who got a turn on the show, just played any old music but since we were from Elizabeth High School, we decided to do a show around artists who came from Elizabeth.
Ha! That's nice and convenient - did you have to listen to the music you played, though? That's what I'd be worried about. (Uh, unless you have a soft-spot for Barnsey despite the whole leg-gnawing incident.)
