Brazil bank robbers tie hostages to getaway cars[^]
Now that's organised crime!
50 people to do one heist? I can't even organise 4 without it all going pear shaped!

Not so fun when you're a hostage though 
I've been hit in public a couple of times, just because people are assholes, I've never felt safe in the city at night again.
I can't even imagine what these people went through...

So split evenly, everybody gets 2%? I wouldn't bother, given how long the prep missions can take...
But seriously, I guess I shouldn't make light of a situation like this. Clearly, some people have zero respect for human life, and all that for a few bucks?

The scale, and planned use of human shields, sounds terrifying.

Headless game ? it's used in one (4)
Headless game Hockey
? sounds like oche
Oche is the line behind which dart players stand
Maybe it was a bit too tenuous

At least you had the decency to clue it as game rather than sport.

Yes I feel the distinction is being lost - much as I like snooker it's a GAME

I think the distinction these days is simple: if there is loads of money in it, it's a sport ...

If you drink beer while playing - it’s a game!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

If no-one gets the CCC I'll leave it until tomorrow

No holidays for cowards.
I don't need be a jerk. I just sometimes choose to be. Does that answer your question?

They working and banding together.
All is collapsing, and within all that someone stood up and called me "dad". I'm not and don't deserve that title.
You are right. I need to be worthy and need to change.

Saying UK is almost redundant when you say bank holiday, which has a rather different meaning in the US.

Got it - the originators of the term Bankers Hours.

Only when they really mess up. But nowadays they rely on bailouts or bail-ins.

I don't know about the UK, but next Monday is the bank holiday (Labor Day) in the US.
