S'alright, the Ellesmere Port Standard had a front page article about one of our "famous" residents, Charles Bronson...

I mean FFS what kind of town is proud to have been home to a serial killer for a few years?

Charles Bronson both is the actor who did the death wish series, and a very very hard and violent criminal who changed his name by deed poll. He's since written a lot of books, and had a film made about his life - afaik he hasn't actually killed anyone - yet.

his demands so far:

inflatable doll,
a helicopter
a cup of tea
hostages address him as "General"
a plane to take him to Cuba
two Uzi sub-machine guns
5,000 rounds of ammunition
an axe
a cheese and pickle sandwich
two cheeseburgers with ketchup

and £200 compensation for his broken glasses, which he claimed were made of "pre-war gold" and given to him by Lord Longford.


Brilliant.

Only 5,000 rounds? Thats less than a couple of hours fun shooting with a full auto weapon.

I'd want 100,000 minimum that would keep me busy for a couple of days!

Linky

linky 2 - She's got a Damn Mini-Gun!
