62.75 years huh? That's a long time having to work to support your addiction to die cast model aircraft.

Well American saddles have a roping horn so there's sumthin' to hang on to...a little longer! It took glaring blue headlights at night and a flash flood to convince me I'm past my prime. 69 is no longer my favorite number!

Additions are now few and far between.

Wished I could retire at 62. That must be nice.



I tell people that my funeral will have to be in the afternoon because I will be working that morning.

A long lost dearly departed ex-colleague of mine used to say that on occasion

He will not go far, in addition he will be a hunted animal. The article suggests that he "tried", which means that he is alive today.

Pity it isn't likely to be a real bomb.

Pictures captured by a local photographer soon confirmed it was Madsen.

Quote:
Danish submarine builder Peter Madsen, who murdered the Swedish journalist Kim Wall, has been caught after trying to escape from jail.

Police said they had arrested a man near the jail and later confirmed to Danish media it was Madsen.

Pictures from the scene showed armed police surrounding him near the prison west of Copenhagen.

What a joke! Revolving doors just like in Sweden .... he needs to hurries to a distant island without the possibility of either transparency or anything else. Or in another way throw away the key.

It's breaking news here in Denmark.

Thinking about it..it doesn't really surprise me that he has tried to escape.

This New Danish Series "Efterforskningen" = "The Investigation" may have gotten the other inmates to threaten him and thereby has i tried to escape.
(It could also be other reason to why he tried)

I can tell you in the last two episode I learned something new about this investigation..things that was never told in our news when this case was hot.

My money is on the police dog.........................

I'd like to think the bomb was real and it detonates whilst everyone else is at a safe distance.

Aye and to think I would have met him with you if the SubSim Meet hadn't clashed with my 25th wedding anniversary.
