It's going to last six months.

At least Andy turned up with a poppy on. Nice touch. Bit early though.

& they've got masses of evidence from mobile phone locations - they could see various people's phones moving around & then all heading to the same location

it's just like a film Grin

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 12:58

the evidence around the laptop behind the bins is like the keystone cops - they have CCTV & everything

hilarious

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 12:58

will shut up now

ParsingFancy · 04/11/2013 13:02

No no, don't shut up! I'm following Peter Jukes, but enjoying coming back here for a more permanent record.

This has to be a film, doesn't it?

'The pizza has been delivered and the chicken is in the pot' WTF???

Did these clowns think they were in The Bourne Identity?

Oh god, I'm dying with laughter here!

The security operatives are poncing around swapping quotes from Where Eagles Dare and different types of clandestine drops - having left bags full of evidence/laptop behind the bins in a carpark.

CCTV some hours later of our heroine standing looking at place where the bags used to be. On her phone to someone.

Imagine that call!

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:12

apparently so

with a bit of Richard Burton in Where Eagles Dare thrown in

I think being involved in something major went to Blackhawk's head

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:13

& the 2 security blokes arguing about where it was left & where it might be now (& possibly shoving each other - bit of Chuckle Brothers banter thrown in maybe)

ExcuseTypos · 04/11/2013 13:14

How can they be so stupid to 'hide' all that stuff behind a bin, in a car park.

I expect they were hoping someone would find them and steal them. They obviously think everyone is as dishonest as them.

DollyTwat · 04/11/2013 13:15

ROAR @ 'you can't log the hours as oerverting the course if justice, so you have to book to pizza delivery'

Imagine asking at work for a time code of that!

ExcuseTypos · 04/11/2013 13:16

Oh Parsing, I hadn't heard that about RB looking for them. What was she going to do I wonder?

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:16

"You can't log in the hours as perverting the course of justice... so you have to put pizza delivery"

perfect

I like Mr Edis Grin

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:16

x-post, Dolly!

Of course, it is "Where Eagles Dare" isn't it?

Well, the chicken thing. The pizza's a bit modern, even if Clint didn't bother changing his appearance to try to even pretend it was 1943 so there probably is a deleted scene of him ordering a Domino's meat feast.

That's one of my favourite films along with The Great Escape, The Guns of Navarone, The Dirty Dozen...

Obviously I'm not alone. If only I realised my knowledge of dodgy '60s war films was all I needed to work in security.

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:21

I do hope they will feel appropriately humiliated by this derision

ParsingFancy · 04/11/2013 13:29

Ooh. After all running hither and yon from Chelsea to Wapping, the black bags no longer contained anything important (Edis: "They only brought back what they thought safe to bring back"). Apparently there was nothing interesting on the computers, and the bag contained Charlie boy's morning post.

So it's actually the hiding-a-laptop-behind-a-bin that's the real evidence here: they must have been Up To No Good.

PetiteRaleuse · 04/11/2013 13:30

Marking place for later and snorting at the updates coming out so far today.

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:30

yep

it's all too wonderful

they couldn't even conspire properly

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 04/11/2013 13:34

from the Indie:

'...memo to staff produced by Mrs Brooks in July 2011 in the wake of the Dowler revelations. “If the accusations are true the devastating effect on Milly Dowler’s family is unforgiveable,” she told staff.
She continued: “It’s almost too horrific to believe that a professional journalist or even a freelance inquiry agent working on behalf of a member of the NOTW staff could behave in this way.”
Mrs Brooks reassured staff: “I hope that you all realise it’s inconceivable that I knew or, worse, sanctioned these appalling allegations. I’m aware of the speculation about my position. Therefore it’s important that we all know that as chief executive I am determined to lead the company to ensure we do the right thing and resolve these serious issues.”'

& then they closed the NotW

& then she resigned as CEO of NI (but continued to be paid Hmm)

TheGhostOfMargaretPast · 04/11/2013 13:40

I think they were so arrogant and thought the law didn't apply to them. Even that Carter Woman grinning her head off rather than hanging it in shame as she walked to court.

tedmundo · 04/11/2013 13:40

The chicken is in the pot ...

Loving the work of this thread. Thank you.
