  American here, and we don't all get guns when we buy eggs, jeez. It's when we pick up our replacement dish soaps, duh.

  One of my favorite old jokes: An atheist is walking through 1980's Belfast and is stopped by an armed checkpoint. They are asked by the guards to declare their religious allegiance, Catholic or Protestant?   "Neither" says the confused tourist, "I'm an atheist". The guards looked confused for a few seconds before responding, "Catholic, or Protestant atheist?"

  Imagine being a newly seperated woman going out for the first time in 5 years and you end up dead. Life was so unfair to her. Bless her soul.

  I grew up in Glasgow in the 60s/70s and the manhunt was enormous. Even my dad was interviewed as a suspect. But he didn't take it personally as apparently literally tens of thousands of men of a certain height, hair-colour, age, etc were being interviewed to simply eliminate from police enquiries.

  What made this case chilling for me is the fact that Jemima Mcdonald&apos;s sister heard of rumors about some young boys finding a dead body in a derelict apartment the day after Jemima went missing. The sister herself went to that apartment the following morning and discovered Jemima&apos;s body lying on the floor in one of the rooms. I looked into the crime scene photo with labels pointing to the derelict apartment and the flat where Jemima lived. The two buildings were just next to each other. She was murdered just yards from the safety of her home. As did Patricia Docker and Helen Puttock.<br>May all of Bible John&apos;s victims rest in peace.

  My gran once told me that &nbsp;she suspected that she was an unwitting survivor of Bible John. She said one time she was dancing at the Barras with a guy, who on reflection matched the description of Bible John and he unsettled her at somepoint so much that she left early with friends.<br><br>No idea if this was true, but my Gran was not one for making up false stories and she only told this story once when she was very, very drunk. Which i only seen happen 3 times

  I do wish that North America had chosen a different name for Football. Every time Simon says Football I have to remind myself that he means Soccer

  I would love for Simon to go to Glasgow and repeat the line &quot;I&apos;ve been to Edinburgh, it&apos;s much better, you don&apos;t have a rivalry with them, do you?&quot; to literally anyone in Glasgow
