Just noticed that today is anniversary of John Dillinger's death in 1934. The supposed 'Robin Hood' of the gangster world of inter-war America, Dillinger met his end when waylaid by FBI agents outside a cinema in Chicago. Some people even have a 'John Dillinger' day in his memory. Bizarre.

TV: nice music, but tell me, how can you 'just notice' that? I mean, I 'just notice' we're out of toilet roll, I don't 'just notice' an obscure gangster died today in 1934.
Have you been Googling boy??? Well, spit it out!
Rather like my Grandad, who had a rather morbid fascination with trawling through the obituary columns of our local rag, I always check births/ deaths each day on wikipedia. Sad but true!
Well, a man needs an interest, as me mother would say.
