Scenes We'd LIke to See

#1
A load of British, American and Western European guys going to Moscow, St Petersburg or one of the Baltic capitals and running rings around the locals, cunningly doing them out of quite a bit of money not to mention belongings and self-esteem and making them look like a bunch of cretins.

#2
Anybody with two X chromosomes between the ages of 18 and 45 walking past a load of British builders and them continuing their work with great equanimity, not so much as diverting their eyes for an instance from the task literally in hand.


#3 a group of people involved in a protracted, heated and probably beer-fuelled argument/debate about politics, religion or some ethical question without one of them resorting to the Reductio ad Hitlerum, or Godwin's Law.

#4 somebody in Estonia accepting the given price for something with equanimity (used that word already I think) and paying punctually and without query.

#5
Somebody, anywhere in the world, who, having seen that they were being legitimately issued a parking ticket by a traffic warden saying "fair enough, I transgressed the rules and, whilst I wasn't going to be a long time I was probably a bit more than five minutes, and yes, I can see I could have easily parked in the multi-storey not 500 yards away".

#6
A bookshop which has a cash desk (or whatever it's called) totally uncluttered with nick nacks, little bits of card and tiny wee books with iffy titles like 'the little guide book to life', 'the hilarious book of rhyming cockney slang' and 'coping with a penis'
