... but this will be hilarious despite the obvious tragedy.

ITV 9pm 'MANHUNT - the Raoul Moat story'.

Could this have happened anywhere but the far NE, ordinary local people going about their business while armed police careered around the village and an armed nutcase was nicking goosegogs out of people's allotments.

It was already insane...

... then Gazza showed up, coked out of his head, clutching his tackle and offering it to Moaty <laugh>

One of the funniest nights ever on RTG back when you were able to have a laugh on there.

One of my favourite bits was when Kay Burley was asking a local Rothbury Doris if she was frightened.

She said, "Of course we are pet, these idiots are driving round the village like lunatics!"

At that moment a police car, in the background, skidded and crashed into a parked car <laugh>

The camera spun round and fixed on Burley, looking embarrassed, who said, "Now, back to the studio".

I remember it was when Xbox had a lounge thing on it like a live chat room there was about 20 of us sitting in this chat room on the cans watching.

Gazza ‘i remember him from the doors’, turned out he’d have been about 4 had this been the case.

Surreal as ****.

At least it made some kind of pissed up sense when we thought that Gazza knew him, when it turned out he didn't...<confused>

The taxi driver must've been absolutely creased taking Gazza up there.

'Right mate, I've got me fishing rod, let's go!'

'Fishing rod, have you got any bait?'

'Why aye, chicken, bread and some cans of lager, howay!'

Northumbria Police team briefing, "be on the look out for Raoul Moat a crazed killer, who has threatened police already and is believed to be in the Newcastle area. All available personnel are to join the manhunt and stay alert. No not you PC Rathband, I need you to be on the lookout for speeders on the A1 all by yourself, that's our bread and butter"

Iirc wasn't the Chief Constable that skinny bird who looked like a demented chicken, straight out of the Cressida Dick school of how not to manage a police force.<laugh>

Yep she was (pun intended) PC appointed, not very highly thought if by rank and file... apparently parades were very amusing!

At the time we thought she was a dead ringer for Mrs Tweedy out of Chicken Run, it was obvious at this time, that the top jobs were not awarded on merit, as I speak Grayling is about to promoted. <doh>

Bonko's chums are not noted for their competence, Hancock, Gove, the housing minister on the take, Reese-mog, Cummings no wonder Sunak the chancellor looks good compared with that lot

I was a lurker at the time but it was one of the best nights ever on the SMB.
I was going on holiday the next day and had loads to do. Needless to say I was running round like a headless chicken because I got bot all done :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:
