tikay & Red fall out.......

[Snatiramas]

Definitively
In the book it stated quite clearly that the charges reversed.
The second one I am not sure but have every intention of checking out this evening. Gut instinct (and lets be honest there is no shortage in that dept.) is that Tikay is right again

Humph! Who asked you?

Much as I hate to bump old threads I need to give due credit to RED and Tikay for mentioning this book, otherwise I'd never have discovered it.

As it happened, Sophie and I were staying at her parents over Christmas and I spotted a copy of it, bought in 1973 with nicely browned pages, and asked Sophie's mum if I could borrow it.  It stayed unopened until last week but then, as Tikay said, it became impossible to put down for too long almost as soon as I started it.  Fascinating read, regardless of how much the truth was embellished.

Like an idiot I didn't also borrow the copy of Banco at the time so I'll need to head back for that.

Oh, and in answer to the second argument in this thread (the first having been resolved at the time) he did NOT set off alone on the raft.  Two of them escaped at the same time, although they had separate rafts and they were several hundred yards away from each other for most of the time they drifted.

I'm now downloading the movie so that I can complain about it not being as good as the book!

So Red WAS wrong, then?........

Seriously, it's one of the best books I've ever read, & I've read thousands. I only read non-fiction, & to be fair, it's really "embellished" non-fiction, but I love the characters in it, the underworld "feel", & the dignity of true, proper, criminals. Police they don't need, they sort themselves out, & their code of honour is splendid.

bottom person here - not possible to turn around items that size without stretching bowel walls to such an extent they could tear...haven't read book but would think that item had an even smaller thing inside that turned around and made it go other way (backwards) rather than actually turn around? Bit like a train with two engines, one on each end.

The rumour about richard gere and the hamsters is also very unlikely, for the same reason. 

So the rumor about Richard Gere and Thomas the Tank is probably true?
