Just had a nice few days in Barcelona.
Managed to go down La Rambla without getting mugged.
One funny bit was when a sneak thief made the mistake of trying it on with a group of Picts left over from the recent football match, You can imagine what happened to him He should have known better than to pick on blokes in skirts.

I was there a few years back and i saw them bending some coppers, money chaniging hands etc.

I also saw the straight coppers get hold of a guy down an alley and pull the van across the entrance, i could only guess at what was happening judging by the sounds!

Saw the woman and baby while we were sitting having a beer, but a Really crappy juggler that looked as high as a kite shooed her off from his pitch.

Its a distraction, they push the baby almost in your face saying look at my baby, meanwhile some git is behind you relieving you of your wallet or a version of that.
