    The french diamond thieves seem to be a tad more successful than the train robbers.

    I stole a Wispa out of a shop when I was 7....

    ... as soon as I got outside, I dropped it and ran away.

    ^^Mental as **** so I am.

    It could definitely still happen, Jono. I saw a documentary recently where a guy called Heisenberg stole an industrial quantity of Methylamine from a train. He made millions of dollars after processing it in his meth lab.

    Years ago my brother used to make ten pound notes by slicing bits of the end and splicing them onto others.Each note was about half an inch shorter than the real McCoy.Amazingly you didn't really notice though.I calculated that he made about 75p for each cut and shut.he also made his own car tax discs.When his realone ran out,say in February he would get an old disc of the same colour that was say a November one and splice the NOV bit in.He was a whizz with a razor blade.

    Is Cliftonville a Fenian or a Prod club Ciaran? I'm guessing from how you spell your name it's the former.
