    Exactly. Apparently he could get 10 years added to his sentence for escaping.

    Yeah, I certainly thought he’d be long gone and had been busted out by some external support, but hearing about the arrest makes me think perhaps he did just change his arm and get lucky after all. Will be interesting to hear more of the story.

    The Met have confirmed that he was arrested by a lone copper who pounced on him when he saw him riding a bicycle along the canal tow path that runs into Greenford.

    Can confirm this to be true. God forbid you dip a tyre onto a yellow cross hatch though. Find you quick enough then…

    I imagine he got out, called various friends to come and get him and got the same reply over and over


    “Sorry dude, while you were inside they introduced this thing called ULEZ charge”

    Occasionally, an obituary turns out to be an absolute gem. Not someone I'd ever heard of but... well, just read.

    Lovely. I particularly enjoyed the fact that his father was discharged from the Army for insisting on fighting with a bow and arrow.

    Bus breaks down in the middle of the road, blocking traffic at rush hour.

    The driver has a look at the engine to see if there's anything he can do while waiting to get towed.

    A woman in her garden notices the driver struggling without any tools and shouts over "Do you want a screwdriver?"

    "Not right now love, I'm trying to fix the bus"

    Yep, she’s definitely a hypocrite.
