He had a life in the sun, with a teenage tart.
I'm jealous.
But, yes; he's a [lucky] scumbag- I never implied otherwise.

Nah, it was Mogadon, in a glass of Scotch.

This is the accountant in me now, but I think the sum of money stolen in the great train robbery was about ?3 million.

I bet if you add-up the cost of bringing him back from Brazil (although The Scum newspaper may have paid some of that), the cost of keeping in jail all these years, medical care, his pension and now the care home fees (which will be at least ?1,000 a week) the total will be way more than ?3 million all picked-up by you and me.

The biggest mistake ever was bringing him back from Brazil !
