anthonyd46 6 Posted January 4, 2014 http://news.yahoo.com/39-great-train-robber-39-ronnie-biggs-defiant-165930205--sector.html Pretty good article about the funeral. Even his flower arrangement was unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted January 4, 2014 At least Ronnie sometimes gave us a laugh, right to the end,unlike the Daily Fail that only spreads misery. he stuck 2 fingers up to the establishment ,and for a while he got away with it. There's a part of all of us that would secretly like to do that lets face it. I for one salute him .Good on ya Ronnie! R.I.P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted January 4, 2014 http://news.yahoo.co...05--sector.html Pretty good article about the funeral. Even his flower arrangement was unique. The Daily Mail was, as you might expect, quite reserved in its coverage. Two things to note of that article. Note Michael Biggs was wearing Ronnies skull braces. Also the Daily Mail mispelt the priests name and Harold Marks?! Most people call him Howard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted January 5, 2014 I did like this pic of the guy with the squashed tarantula on his head. I wonder if that ten bob note was, you know, an original? I bet that didn't hang around for long. Looking at that chain round his neck I expect he was the mayor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 5, 2014 Latest from the Daily Mail....... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2533993/Great-Train-Robber-Ronnie-Biggs-ashes-scattered-scene-crime-50th-anniversary-robbery.html Apparently his Ashes will be scattered at the site of the robbery on the 50th anniversary of the event....... Yes, you read that right. Ronnie's son has invented time travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that didn't hang around for long. Looking at that chain round his neck I expect he was the mayor. This man looks like a total COCKTRUMPET. And as for spreading his ashes at the site of the robbery - IF that is true, and I highly doubt it if it's come from the Daily TwatMail, but IF it is, then that is a final kick in the teeth to the VICTIMS of that crime, and shows that he definitely did not have any remorse or care for the effect his, and other's, actions had on innocent people. It's akin to spreading Adolf Hitler's ashes in Anne Frank's fucking attic, and makes him an even bigger CUNT in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted September 28, 2014 Dunno if the elevated company I was hanging with yesterday want to rename this thread (How About "Train Robbers: Cash stashers soon to be ashes") to take in the handful of train robbery associated survivors, but it seems an appropriate place to post the revelations of Douglas Gordon Goody (85 year old robber) who has finally named the "Ulsterman" (Patrick McKenna) and confirmed he's dead. Goody himself is 85 and "in frail health" though clearly robust to the point of being able to tell his own story and stand upright for the cameras. http://www.theguardi...0news:Position2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but your main point was an argument we continue to celebrate the deceased Mr Biggs on a thread when there's no more need to speculate about when we'll cash in points. There are clearly some other obitable/point scoring types associated with Bigg's highest profile criminal escapade who continue to breathe (just). This thread has hosted some fleeting discussion of their current state and might usefully be adapted to see them out now, for which it'll probably need a new title to mark its change of focus. Call me pig ignorant but...I'd say there's a difference in cultural longevity between Da Vinci's masterpiece and the - now largely redundant - name of a threat on an internet forum.
