Canadian Paul 97 Posted April 18, 2006 Just straying back on topic for a second, how's Ronnie Biggs these days? Being that he's the person on my list that's most likely to die at the moment, I've been keeping watch of him lately. No news that I've seen since his son was trying to get him released so that he could die at home. Looks bad for Ronnie Biggs, but no recent updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted April 19, 2006 Re the burn out/fade away debate and Neil Young: the following comes from Rolling Stone's daily news update: NEIL YOUNG: IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT Just months after the release of his studio album "Prairie Wind," singer-songwriter NEIL YOUNG is returning with the politically charged "Living With War." Whipped up in just two weeks earlier this month, Young's album takes aim at the war in Iraq and President Bush -- through songs including the Bush-basher "Let's Impeach the President." The album features what Young describes on his Web site as "metal folk protest" and "a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan," recorded with "a power trio with trumpet and 100 voices." While the war remains a divisive topic, it's unlikely that Young is worried about alienating any fans. "There are things that I've done that have been hard for people to get into," Young told Rolling Stone earlier this year. "I just try to stay open. I'm happy when I have a new idea, when my music turns a corner." Still willing to burn out I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted May 28, 2006 Ronnie Biggs is making another bid for his release after the previous attempt was rejected earlier this year. Frail Biggs to appear in court Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted May 28, 2006 His lawyer Giovanni di Stefano said: "He can't eat, walk or talk but the Prison Service refuses to review his case unless his condition worsens considerably - in effect condemning my client to death." Just occured to me, do you think people high up in the prison service enter into DDPs, I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulphack 6 Posted May 28, 2006 of course they do. think of the possibilities! all those celeb criminals you can pool, plus all the regular inmates. it'd make suicide watch a tempting and risky business, though. for someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Firestarter 0 Posted June 4, 2006 I for one won't shed any tears if he kicks it. He ruined his health by living it up in Brazil, the train driver didn't get a chance to have much of a life. When Buster Edwards hung himself I nearly peed myself laughing, all the train robbers should be dead, all are scum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted August 8, 2006 In two days it's the first anniversary of the report that he had a bad case of MRSA. Then in October we can celebrate a year since Charles Clarke refused to release him on compassionate grounds. Tough old bird is our Ronnie, he saw off Jack Slipper and he saw off Clarke as Home Secretary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Defarge 21 Posted August 9, 2006 Ronnie is one of my RDP picks, so I think it would be a nice gesture on my part to send him a little something. Should I get him a 'Happy Great Train Robbery' or 'Happy Birthday' card ?(Because I care enough to send the very best.) http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll...&sh_start=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
