it's got to end soon, there aren't any raoul moat puns left

but more on gazza:
Reacting with shock to the news Gascoigne was in Rothbury, his agent Kenny
Shepherd said: "He's doing what? I am sitting having an evening meal in
Majorca. I'm speechless."

Ponders · 09/07/2010 22:48

why does he need an agent?

5inthebed · 09/07/2010 22:49

I think she means Gazza agent.

thisisyesterday · 09/07/2010 22:49

"He's doing what? I am sitting having an evening meal in
Majorca. I'm speechless."

I'm wiping tears from my eyes. Priceless.

Love this thread...

Gentle mocking of non-locals attempting to pronounce peculiar local place names.
A natter about who went to what school locally.
Sue Sim hair and eyeshadow.
Auntie Doris.
And now... Gazza!

they haven't had any adverts have they?

thisisyesterday · 09/07/2010 23:01

it's just like DP said, nothing like a crazed gunman to bring the community together.

ahhhhh

Buzzybb · 09/07/2010 23:02

No and I need to go to the loo and make a cup of tea I am afraid if I leave I will miss something

Meglet · 09/07/2010 23:03

EightiesChick · 09/07/2010 23:07

Really should go to bed now as DS has been waking at 5am lately But am thinking of taking laptop upstairs (something I never usually do) so that when if DS wakes in the night I can get an update. DH will be mightily unimpressed, though.

Meglet · 09/07/2010 23:07

This reminds me of a few years ago when someone got held hostage at knife point in the house behind mine. I was out when it kicked off so the armed police were in my neighbours room aiming at the house.

The police cordoned off the area and I couldn't get home. I seem to recall calling them as I was worried about my guinea pigs who needed feeding .

LaDiDaDi · 09/07/2010 23:19

I'm off to bed now too; every night for the past week dp has been saying "they'll have him by the morning" andfinally it seems that he might be right!

TheConstantIroner · 09/07/2010 23:20

Northumbria Police have put a 10K price tag reward on Raoul Moats head. If he doesn't get caught by next Thursday it goes upto 20K.....making it a Raoul over

SharonGless · 09/07/2010 23:24

Been lurking just want to say that I hope everyone at the scene goes home safe and well to their families.

Buzzybb · 09/07/2010 23:27

Yeah the adrenalin and stress will start becoming an issue for everyone there soon esp as it gets later and the temp drops' Hope they all stay safe

Buzzybb · 09/07/2010 23:29

We never say good bye to Dp when he goes to work it is always 'be good' Good bye is to awful a prospect. The longer this goes on the harder it will be for their families as they sit and wait

thisisyesterday · 09/07/2010 23:32

they were saying there are more police ready to take over though, so it won't be the same lot there continually. that's one thing they have over him, he'll be getting tired and hungry, but their officers will be replaced at some point with refreshed ones

Buzzybb · 09/07/2010 23:38

Can they/will they replace the negotiator ? he is the one who will be trying to build up a rapport with Moat, will Moat accept someone else or will moving some one else in that close to him cause problems
