Auntie reports the old sod has snuffed it[^]. Tonight, Auntie shows the first of two parts about this notorious robbery. The timing is quite ironic so it will serve as an obit to a so-called legendary villain, at least in his own mind which ain't no more.
I hope the docudramas will be fair to the facts of the robbery. I'm not convinced I ever liked him despite his larger-than-life persona, again in his own mind which ain't no more.
He deserved better health than the effects of the strokes that affected him. We'll see what Auntie syas about it all this evening, in The Robbers Tale.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Deserved better than Jack Mills how?

Only in the sense that a stroke is a horrible thing to endure. My mum died in the street from one. I'd not wish it on anybody so he gets my sympathy in that respect.
Jack Mills did suffer and the gang were justly punished for the robbery. Biggs, as we know, had a relatively easy time on the run and only came back to the UK once he realised he wasn't going to get the care he needed in Brazil.

I'm sorry Septic old bean, but I feel no sympathy for a man who openly believed his own hype. Biggs was a criminal, he took part in an audacious robbery fuelled by his own greed that left a man with severe injuries that led to his death. The only thing Biggs did was run away to save his own sorry arse, but when the money ran out a returned with his worthless tail between his legs.
Good riddance is my thought.

I'm inclined to agree with you. I toned down my other feelings about him and what he did as I was mindful I might have incurred forum wrath if I wrote as felt I wanted to. As you've opened the door for me to an extent, then I concur with your summary of him.

If you believe Wiki then no.." He died of chronic lymphatic leukaemia, with a further complication of bronchial pneumonia". I don't think you get either of those from a crack to the skull.
And no, I'm not saying they didn't attack and injure him and that Biggs was Mr Niceguy.

Richard, I touched on that in my reply to Nagy.

I agree a stroke is a terrible thing. Soemone I knew many years ago was left wheelchair bound and unable to talk when only in his forties. However, I still see no reason why that means that Biggs deserved better.

As I say, I meant it only with reference to my mum who died from one around 1992 sometime.
