In Glasgow

'So Andy, what you're telling me, is that a race war is imminent?'
'Aye.' *
'What like the hundred metres versus – say, the London Marathon?'
'Naw man, Like white people against aw the immigrants!' *
'What?'
'It's inevitable, we canny live wi' them any mare, they jist arney British, ken?.' *
'Uh what about the people who were born here.'
'Look, Ah dinny make the rules, but they jist arney “is”' *
'Aren't us?'
'Naw, Ah mean they're...' *
'Not white?'
'Well, aye.' *
'What counts as white?'
'Y'ken, you, me, ma bro...' *
'Me?'
'Aye, you like. Ken?' *

And that is why I'm sitting in a police cell. I punched the racist Edinburgh cunt (I would like it to be known that not everyone in our capital; Dùn Èideann, is a racist, just the wankers). Well, I say punched... more like glassed him in the face with a full pint of Tennent's lager.
This may be why I've been given a wee dram of Whisky by duty Sargent Singh. Immigration? I like it.

I know it was another night of two fragments, but Mea Culpa it was me setting the computers clock wrong. so I thought it was two fragments in two days.

Sepuku will be performed upon request for this infraction... well I'll imagine doing it, and it is the thought that counts. :D

.... Could translation into English be posted soon? Very cool fragment, I found it a bit sociological and still this is definitly a Ed like story.

Translation:

'So Andy, what you're telling me, is that a race war is imminent?'
'Yes.'
'What like the hundred metres versus – say, the London Marathon?'
'No man, Like white people against all the immigrants!'
'What?'
'It's inevitable, we can't live with them any more, they just aren't British, you know?.'
'Uh what about the people who were born here.'
'Look, I don't make the rules, but they just aren't “us”'
'Aren't us?'
'No, I mean they're...'
'Not white?'
'Well, yes.'
'What counts as white?'
'Y'know, you, me, my brother...'
'Me?'
'Yes, you like. Do you understand?'

Thank you :) Though it of course makes the fragment much more interesting written the way it is. Just needed the complementary translation.
