Glasgow Survival always cracks me up. What a toilet.

In case anyone wants to know what a NED (officially, a non-educated delinquent) is, there are a few websites:

Glasgow Survival, and

The Nedumentary

Trying to "read between the lines" of some of the Ned sites (Scottish youth subculture) isn't exactly hard - you only have to decypher what they're actually trying to write in the first place!

See: http://www.glasgowsurvival.co.uk/reviews/reviews.h tml [WARNING - maybe not best to view at work, or if you have an abhorence of complete numpties]

"Pure mental!" as they say. Yes... right...

I don't find that surprising. I have just as much trouble understanding Brummies, Scousers, Geordies and Glaswegians,

That's OK - there's an online training guide to the Scottish NED (Non-Educated Delinquent), the Glasgow Survival Guide

I think this is merely a phase, a cultural identification to a phase of adolescence, where young males feel superior as a method of attracting a mate, and when that fails, they turn to video games and possibly crime (as I think it always does fail most teens today who can't skate like Tony, or roll like Puffy).

Just like the "neds" we have in the UK, which are described in detail and have been caught on video.

I'd wager that most criminals dislike computer games

Bootleg copies of video games? That's not exactly new.
