a wonderful wooden reason
I'm toying with the idea of not forming a band called 'The Dead Canoeists'. The name is available for offers though.

I think the kids knew...they're protecting themselves, as if the mum wouldn't tell them.

I thought this fella was pretty cool until I read that over £60k of taxpayers money was wasted trying to find him.

Has he been charged with anything?

I lost track - there's a suggestion that it was all insurance fraud, right?

OK.

What eventually happened with that pianist who walked out the sea a while ago?

Walking out of the sea with memory loss seems to be all the rage.

I don't get why the bloke just turned up at the police station all of a sudden. Everything was fine, they had the money, everyone thought he was dead etc and then he goes and fucks it all up. Maybe he fell out with his wife or something and decided it was worth going to gaol just to get her back.

Weird that, but if he knew he wass being investigated he may have felt the game was up. Or perhaps he saw Double Indemnity by chance one night and got the fear.

That'll be it.
Weird how the woman seemed to flee from England a few weeks before he turned up. Reckon they might have fallen out. Like in, er, Double Indemnity.

Apparently the police were asking questions months ago, and I suppose he wanted to play his "memory loss" card before things went even further.

Yes - reading up about it just now, it seems the investigation was closed for ages, but then re-opened over the past few months, when one of his wife's nosey colleagues noticed that she was making suspicious phonecalls and whispering a lot and passed this info on to the police.

yeah...the fact that they both quit their jobs before it went off seems to suggest that's possible.

@Edward, i did find it funny for quite a long time, but it has started to get a little depressing as their characters and the detail come into focus

We've been lovin;
"Apocalypse now as pipe smashes through church roof"

http://www.theargus.co.uk/display.var.1879698.0.0.php?act=complaint&cid=842861


As Father Robert Fayers delivered his sermon on the Apocalypse parishioners at St Michael's Church listened with due attention.

That was until - as warnings about the end of the world filled the Grade 1 listed building - a lead drain pipe smashed through the roof.


I live v near St Michael's and apparently Aleister Crowley was obsessed with that same church. On my roof there is a strange chaos symbol painted on one of the chimneys.
