About six months back I went on a Stag Do to Riga, Latvia. The place was beautiful, apart from the thirty foot high, imposing grantite statue of Lenin's three marksmen. The police however were terrifying. Those guys are nasty. And they like nothing better than arresting over exuberant English dickheads.
