Great train robber Ronnie Biggs died yesterday 18th DEC, no one has give him a mention,
but as a fellow boy from Lambeth, I have to raise a glass to him
Agree, True he was a criminal but he did outrun the law for so long, and he was part
Of the biggest robbery, so big the government even thought of changing the design
of the pound.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the AK47 assault rifle has died. He had a brilliant concept of keeping things simple, and using the KISS methodology produced a simple, reliable and easy to produce tool that improved global trade and made billions for his country.
Sadly though, the amount of lives his masterpiece ended, or the number of people who have been maimed, injured or disfigured massively outweigh the awards old Mikhail was given for his efforts.
Used by militants, insurgents, child soldiers, rebels, bandits, thieves and crooks the world over, no other gun has been so mass produced or used than the AK47.
Hats off to you for working so hard for your country's benefits, enjoy the ride down in St Peter's elevator. -{

I realise there are different views about Biggs, but to have his likeness on a pound note is surely going a bit far, he's no Churchill is he?
bTW I have no problem with Turing's pardon, but was it just for his homosexual activity? Wouldn't loads of past gays who got nabbed before 1968 get pardoned then?

Yes...just for his homosexual activity - for which he was 'chemically castrated' - which is abhorrent !
No, they wouldn't....I think each case would need to be looked at individually - as the law stands ? - but I would think it was the backing Touring had - that and his incredible work on code-breaking - that finally shamed the'powers-that-be' to issue his pardon.
Jeremy hardy did a great bit on this weeks news quiz ( BBC radio 4) about how
President Obama, his wife and the vice president and his wife will not be attending the
Winter Olympics in Russia, over it's draconian anti gay laws and its human rights
violations under Putin.
While Dave Cameron will be there as human rights are OK, but there's such great skiing.
Simply have to get some in. 8-)

Yey, let's go USA! Not attending their goddam skiing tourny'll get 'em to cave in on gay rights and get their human rights act together.
But in other news, where there's no headline for the Pres, business between the USA and Russia goes on as usual, 'cos, ya know, there are bigger priorities here
Cameron may be an unprincipled cad. But at least he's a consistent one.
Politicans, eh? Headline grabbing, duplicitous, unprincipled bastards. Who'd have thought it?
All politicians are scum. I was just commenting on how funny Jeremy Hardy's rant
about it was. Cameron for instance layed into Sri Lanka over its treatment of prisoners
yet kept his gob very tightly closed about human rights etc on his visit to China. )

Well, yeah. Cos them Lankans haven't got as much cash as the Chinese.Now if only the Lankans had the economy of the Chinese they'd be able to get away with murder too. I mean, come on....
Isn't there some politico line cack-handedly rammed into QOS about only doing business with nice people?
But Jeremy Hardy, funny???? The '80s are over and Thatch is dead...
Not to get too deep, I can understand why Politicians do deals for jobs etc, Its like in
Star Wars I sure many planets did deals with old Darth and the boys.
But I'm going to stop now as Politics can get out of hand, ......... sometimes. -{ )

Sad news about Mr. Avery. He not only brought humor to his role in the Fresh Prince, but he provided a wonderful authority figure as well. May he rest in peace.
Sad to read today about the death of Run Run Shaw who's company made hundreds of
kung Fu movies over many years, ( most of which I've probably watched ) he lived to an
amazing old age of 106.

Except where personal interests are involved, obviously.

kung Fu movies over many years, ( most of which I've probably watched ) he lived to an
