Gilbert is awesome, not a bad word bout him.

with all them flats full of alcoholics and junkies, right?

There is a Ghetto scheme called Drumchapel far out the West End. She is from Old Drumchapel which is posher. House prices are high and there are very few flats, and they are like this one or slightly more modern (Similar to the Jordaan in Amsterdam if you have ever been there). Maybe only one or 2 streets have flats.

this is the kind of house she grew up in, it's in her mum's street not the same one she grew up in.

East End is the skuzzy end, also the end nearest Holland - coincidence you decide.

BTW the houses look funny because they are on a "hill", I know you dont really have them.

I recall reading an interview with Bas where he said his knees are all screwed up from years of training.

My wife got to meet Bas at a grappling tournament. She had him do an autograph

"To Jon & Michelle. Knee to the Balls. Bas"

It was awesome :5innocent

douglas: Bas is originally from Tilburg if im not mistaken, talking bout shitholes...ever been there?

oh dude, some years ago im waiting in front of the gym to open for bjj, so lots of other guys assemble there to wait too, several of em were really excited about something.
turns out: Rutten was back in the fatherland and did a whole fookin seminar for like only 20 euros in a town 15 mins from me!!!

' didn't you get the newsletter?'

Bas is on Cartoon Network all the time and is hawking Nexcare Ben-10 and Bakugan bandages. It's kinda awesome and exposes him to a whole new generation.

I amused that he used the exact armbar I learned in Aikido in that Springer clip ...

I'll have to admit, he's perfect for Cartoon Network. My daughter has no idea who he is, but certainly enjoys his commercials as much as the cartoons.
