    Wonder what actually goes on up there? You can guarantee the information available to the public accounts for only a tiny percentage of what they actually do and why they spend a shed load of money keeping it going.

    They started off in a sketch show called Chewin' the fat. Lots of characters but it was the two old guys Jack and Victor that got their own series called Still game. A Glasgow based comedy series all available on you tube. Very funny.
