sympathyforthedevil 11 Posted September 8, 2005 How sick can he really be if he's asking to attend funerals? Given his history, this whole deathbed act seems as plausible as General Pinochet's. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=1...-name_page.html Perhaps all fellow deathlisters should start looking up to Banshees Scream. Ronnie may be an actor for a couple more years yet. I will start looking up to you. Just please don't refer to yourself in the third person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted September 9, 2005 As the man who lost a few quid on Ted Heath being outed in death by the end of August I know such wagers are for mugs only. A bit like stepping way out of your petty crime league to rob a mail train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted September 18, 2005 This from AOL news Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs is going on hunger strike in jail, his son has said. The ailing 76-year-old is launching the strike because the Home Office has yet to decide on an application to free him on compassionate grounds. His son Mike, 31, accused Home Secretary Charles Clarke of "prevarication of the worst kind" and said Biggs was determined to refuse food from now on in protest at delays to the decision. The train robber is already said to be painfully thin and it is thought a hunger strike could kill him within days. Vote Now Mike Biggs said: "My father has had enough. He is going on hunger strike. I cannot talk him out of it. "We appealed for my father's release on compassionate grounds. All the reports that were requested by the government - medical, social, nursing, independent nursing - have been sent in, we have now waited three months for a decision either way and there is still no sign of one. "There is no excuse for this delay. It's a disgrace and it's inhumane." Biggs returned to Britain voluntarily in 2001 after more than three decades on the run and was then imprisoned in Belmarsh high security jail in south-east London. He had been sentenced to 30 years for his part in the infamous raid on a Glasgow to London mail train on August 8, 1963, when a 15-strong gang made off with £2.6 million in used bank notes. Biggs escaped from Wandsworth prison in a furniture van after just 15 months in jail and ended up in Brazil. Since his return he has suffered a series of health scares, including minor strokes and heart attacks and contracting MRSA - and has been in and out of hospital. According to his solicitors, he could "die at any moment", but a previous application for release on compassionate grounds was refused because prison bosses deemed that he was not ill enough. Today The afternoon will continue to see high pressure extending across southern and central parts of the UK. A dry afternoon here with some good spells of sunshine around. Eastern parts of Scotland meanwhile, will also see some bright or sunny spells, but western Scotland and the Western Isles will be cloudier with patchy light rain and drizzle.

Cerberus 302 Posted September 19, 2005 Interesting use of the term, "more." Anyway, if Biggs is as sucessful as Ian Brady and Carlos, we can forget about him popping his clogs anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted September 19, 2005 Isn't he fed by a G-tube? What's he going to do, try to hold a feeble thumb over the tube to keep nurses from pushing his meals through it? Not only is he an actor where his health is concerned, but his son is acting with him. I have a feeling that he'll be circling the drain years from now.
