Re the Grecian 2000 I tried it for ages but found the skin around my temples started looking a bit grubby, and then some of the hair turned a bit orange (not even 'strawberry blond', mind ) so eventually I packed it in. My advice would be not to overdo it -{
Still no grey/white hairs on my head, but I grew a beard earlier this year and my chin was completely white. So now I can be clean-shaven and be described as "a young man" or grow a beard and be called a "dirty old man" depending on the mood I'm in.
Sorry to hear about the explosions in Germany, a dortmund footballer was injured on the team bus, hopefully no one else was.
They've got the guy!
Turns out that it was a native Russian with a german passport who planned all this for MONEY!!!!!
His plan was to weaken the Borussia Dortmund shares and pull his options which he bought at that day (15000 papers) in his hotel room which had visual access to the passing bus.
It's devastating to see what people are prepared to do to get some money ("best" case 4 million Euros).

I'm no financial wiz, but for the life of me I still can't figure out how this works. It's a bit like the Casino Royale plot point with the airline explosion which makes a fortune for Le Chiffre when the airline's stocks plummet. I've read the newspapers reports today on the alleged Dortmund bomber, but if there's a financier/investment advisor who can explain how this works in layman's terms, I would very much appreciate it.
It's basically a bet for the future.
Let's assume that before the attack, Dortmund stock was 40.
You buy a contract to sell the share next monday for that price.
If the share goes down to 30 after the attack, you make 10 profit with each contract because now you can buy them for 30 but can sell for 40.
Multiply that with 15000 contracts and you win a lot of money.

Nicely put Higgins, and well done the polizei. Of course he was probably hoping everyone would assume terrorism and concentrate their investigation on that basis.
Classic misdirection, but the modus operandi was totally different to the kind of thing we've seen from Islamic terrorists. I hope they throw the book at him.

Well, he was plain stupid.
Ordering those options so short noticed and so many with a consumer credit rang the alarm bell of his bank.
He used the hotel's WIFI to place the order and when he checked in, he complained that his room had no street view.
After the attack when everything went wild, he calmly went to the restaurant and ordered his dinner.
It seems that he was not very bright in all his plannings. His chances for not getting caught after all this where less than zero
And yes, he should get charged for terrorism - but unfortunately that won't happen.

It's remarkable how some people think being clandestine is so easy, with training you can make yourself invisible, and with some smart planning he could have have pulled this off. Thankfully he sounds like an amateur, and a dangerous one at that.
Using Islamic extremism as a misdirection tool would only work if he followed the m.o used by such people, which he wouldn't be aware of unless he was in law enforcement or a terrorist cell. He should be charged with terrorism along with attempted murder, fraud, wounding with intent, wreckless endangerment, bomb making and stupidity!

Thanks Dr Higgy-poo, it makes complete sense now. I couldn't figure out how you make quick money by stock plummeting. Makes sense.

Maybe it's the right moment to ask for reopening the Trump thread? :v

Exactly. But he should have realised that if a criminal mastermind like Le Chiffre couldn't get away with it, neither would he!
