Scottsmen, drunk or sober, are all quite bores. Now, if you'd been locked up with a drunk Irishman, then, you'd really learn to write. Love the videos.
I can do you and Brideshead Revisited all in one. I spent a whole day, the last day of high school, drinking cheap wine. When my friend pulled the car over, I got out and threw up on a policeman's shoes. Not being too far out of high school himself, the policeman let the driver go with a warning and a pat on the back for not drinking while driving. I wonder if he knew there was a drunken Scotsman waiting for me in the cell?
Being drunk in a public place. The usual is 'drunk and disorderly'. The fact that they didn't charge me with that shows how amenable I was being. I was about as disorderly as a church mouse.
@@TheOxfordWriter Seems like if people go to a pub, at some point after they leave the pub, everyone is drunk in a public space (at least for a little while). Without the disorderly behavior they should have had no case (it is, after all, drunk AND disorderly).
5:22 that caught off guard “when you’re famous you can write shit” 😅
The Jehovah's witness comparison is absolute gold
I loved this anecdote, Malcolm. I’ll open all my stories with similar Sultan’s offering human eyes. Great example.
Thanks! Richard Ford's novel Canada starts with a similar technique, although no sheep's eyes!
I think that advice is spot on, and not just for novels but most content today.
I like your videos because they're instructive and have a cozy feel to them. The scenery is a bonus. :)
Great, was intrigued as well🎉
Great rendition of Robinson Crusoe.

I'm here to tell you that drunk Scotsman (redundant?) was dead wrong. I like you.
The magistrate on the other hand...

Ah those were the days when you could throw up on a cop's shoes and he let you off! You had a lucky escape.
This American viewer is tickled pink.
Great advice. All of your videos are helpful. Your subscribership is too low.
Many thanks!
Was the drunken Scotsman a hook or red herring?😂
What were you arrested for and charged with (the story made it sound like you just had beer breath...was there other behavior omitted from the story)?
