    Just not my bag. It's densely populated in the corridor I am talking about and the towns just aren't nice.

    Again, it's just an opinion, but where I live, come from, the only sounds that annoy, are if the farmer gets up really early doors. If you are used to it here, then it's what you are used to, so it isn't that bad.

    Just not my bag.
    Couldn't agree more. West Country all the way for me.

    I also think this whole thing about Northerners being more friendly is a complete myth. I just think they are more likely to tell you what's on their minds be it good or bad.

    I went to the Lake District recently and found that there was a definite frosty reserve among the inhabitants. Miserable sods, must be all that rain.

    I dont think Old Hack is right.
    My guess is that he had the placed rigged with a grenade, and a pistol under his pillow, just waiting to be raided during the night, either by enemies or the fuzz.
    He was woken out of sleep, saw the uniforms and bang.

    where did he get stuff like that from ? they should be strung up as well

    Oh you wish fat boy.

    Funny how the infantryman gets his, then his trusty NCO bum chuim comes riding to his side, like a trusty mongrel.

    Longer lunch than normal fat boy, was it £5 all you can eat at the local chinese, or as you like to call it, the chinky...

    Just saying, like.

    From what I understand, the only way you'd stay in a dodgy pub with bad men, would be by mistake, and the fact by the time you realised, you'd sat down and couldn't get your fat ass out of the seat.

    I reckon if he'd killed a couple of blokes he'd be on the run living on the noterity. Because it was a couple of girls he's handed himself in.

    It does not stand to reason that his logic was to 'go and take out as many coppers as possible', he's a low intelligence scrote, the hardman. I gave up years ago when I used to frequent dodgy pubs understanding what makes the low level crim do things.

No, this seems to me, more like someone set him up, someone in the criminal fraternity who were looking after him according to the police.

    It's not a wild stab in the dark to sense something wrong, that someone who looked after him, a proper criminal, has set him up. For me it's the instant walking into the police station to hand himself in, just the moment it was reported on the press. That's what makes this all a bit fishy
