scootay The great train robbers captured the publics imagination big style. This story has always been huge news. A raid on a train full of money that was gonna be burnt. Ridiculous 30 year sentences handed down, prison breaks, plastic surgery, false passports, fleeing to Australia, Canada, Brazil. Abduction by ex army, etc. This story had it all. It's spurned books, TV and films. What's not to like?One of the most fascinating books I've ever read was killing Charlie, the Charlie Wilson story. Brilliant read
Young_Marxist_at_Tescos Time to re-work that old gag...?Nelson Mandela dies as his biopic is being released. Biggs dies and tonight the BBC are showing the tale of the Great Train Robbers.I bet Beckham and the Nevilles are shitting themselves.

Foxy_Dread A Man Utd supporting friend retweeted something from @Briangreenhoff about Man Utd. My reply was along the lines ofyou do realise he's dead? Did this come via @derek_acorah? Say hi to DuncanI then got a message from my mate saying it's his son also named Brian, delete it. Not wanting to be offensive I deleted it but what a pillock not having something to differentiate him from his dad, perhaps a jnr. So whilst not wanting to be offensive didn't feel the need to be apologetic.
albert_herbert_hawkins gore wroteJohn Fortune Not seen that before. Very funny. Had it out a couple of times with mates in banks out here. Particularly after the banks got all sniffy at about refinancing Greek debt.
Reggie_Perrin [quote=gore]Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967–2014)[/quote]Sad and shocking. Looked like he liked a party though as in Hollywood years he looked 67. Contrast with O'Toole, Harris and Reed. This generation have no style and should really have stuck to the drink.
