Getting the facts straight, for example: no one was murdered.

I'm not. I have no opinion on Biggs one way or the other. My only interest is in the government's reaction to the events.

Have you had a sense of humour bypass? It's a joke.

Something else I personally find a little incongruous.


Three British soldiers die in AFG and we have a thread about a person whose contribution to his country is entirely negative.


Go figure!

Eddie and Charlie Richardson....


Battered their own lieutenant Scotch Jock Kerr to pieces with a whole set of golf clubs one by one , then realised they had the wrong man once they'd hospitalised him

So, oh yeah they really looked after their own......


Oh & he remained loyal 'till the day he died last year.

The Home Secretary has not executed a U turn. He was right to refuse parole as, apparently, Biggs at no point expressed any remorse. Equally he was later correct in releasing the chronically sick 80 year old on compassionate grounds. Politics do not enter into it, and the case has little in common with the Lockerbie (supposed) bomber.

Jah, yes I have.


It was bloody painful and I still have the scars.








(I was drunk and missed the subtle nuances of your post.)

And if you had done something extra special, I hear the Richardsons would buy you a new shirt.

Diamonds they was.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
