I'm due to go there next year, kinda crazy that it happened. Heard any news on the injuries?

Word coming out of there is that it's not too bad. Some head injuries but nothing too serious. "30 walking wounded" according to BBC Breaking News on Twitter.

Good to hear no one is seriously injured atm.
 
Okay so the sister of someone I went to school with has made a Facebook account for her baby.

The kid is no older than two/three, yet has a page with statuses, photos, check-ins and likes.

Oh and also, the occupation is listed as "Baby - at Full-Time Baby".




How weird?!
 
Watched The Great Train Robbery - The Robber's Tale tonight on the iPlayer. What a thumping good dramatisation that was. I knew a sketchy bit about the history, like Biggs was a very peripheral figure, and the train driver he got didn't do the business, etc.., but this drama brought the whole thing to life.., and it really did have a feeling of early 1960's. There was a distinct sense of The Italian Job without the Mediterranean sunshine and the humour, but the story fairly crackled along just the same, and every actor was convincing.

I tend not to like crime stories, especially the inevitable view from the law abiding side, because every time they need a new drama series it tends to be around crime solving, but the truth based element of this means I'm looking forward to The Copper's Tale** It may well be worth waiting for.

**yes I know it's already been on, but at the time of writing it has yet to become available on the iPlayer, so I'll watch it in a day or two.
 
Yeah, it's not as though he stole over 300 gallons of methylamine. Now there's a train robbery to behold.
