AFAIK he's called Raoul cos his mam's French.
And all those London firearms cops pouring into Northumberland? I hope to god there aren't any brazilian backpacking tourists, it'll be a bloodbath!
It really seems like plod haven't a clue where he is; he could be in Scotchland by now.
Indeed - remember the Brazilian electrician.
I'd hate them to gun down the wrong chap
he could be in Scotchland by now.
and he's Ginger, , , , now this guy is clever!!
Which is why BigDummy's response above is correct.

That'll explain the Spanish name then. 😕

💡 It's also French, [url= http://www.family-crests.com/family-crest-coat-of-arms/surnames-7-7/male-french-names.html ]apparently it's the French form of the German 'Ralph' and means 'wise wolf'.[/url]
So it's German than or Spanish maybe French seems depend which website.
I'm loving the news coverage and their pronunciation of local places.
Pauperhaugh - Poperhoff
Ponteland - Pontyland
Rothbury - at one point was Roughbury
Don't forget the chip shop that got done by Raoul (edit: Alledgedly!) at Seaton De La Val.
So how did he get a gun? Gun laws just don't work.
Criminals can get guns any time they want.Nut cases with legal guns aren't deterred by the law.
Ergo, gun laws do not work.
Bad people use guns badly, good people use them wisely.
...etc etc etc...
To summarise this line of argument...
(a) we have tight gun control restrictions, but ...
(b) some bad people still manage to get hold of guns, therefore ...
(c) tight gun control restrictions are pointless, so ...
(d) we should give up trying to enforce them, which will ...
(e) make it easier for bad people to get hold of guns.
🙄
Aye forgot that one Neil.
Yes Elliptic that's what they were getting at that Guns should be sold in your local Asda.
When I went to Oz in the '70s you could buy guns and ammo at the supermarkets. No bloodbaths then.
What tyres for evading armed police through woodland?
In the 70s you order a shotgun from your Kays catalogue here. The big changes came after the likes of Hungerford and made things stricter.
So how did he get a gun? Gun laws just don't work.
People are still robbed despite robbery being illegal.
Clearly anti-robbery laws don't work and should be abolished. 🙄
John J Rambo would only come down for one man- colonel Trautman.
As Raoul is a geordie there is only one man to talk him down:

Gun control is different to the prohibition of other offences though.
Robbery is indeed illegal. Bad people do it, but the fact that good people aren't allowed to do it has no impact on bad people doing it. With guns, the argument goes that good people, if they were allowed guns, could then defend themselves against the bad people, who are not prevented from having guns by the fact of their illegality.
The plod-blog quoted on the previous page clamours for guns for plod on the grounds that steroid-freaks can get them. I want one for exactly the same reasons. Prohibition doesn't prevent bad people having them, but does prevent me having one. As a result of the imperfectly enforced prohibition I am actually less safe than I would/fantasize I might be if there was no prohibition.
I suspect it's bollocks, but that's the point.
If BigD you were climbing into a building where there may be a 'maniac' with a shotgun in order to capture him than yeah you'd need a gun. However, if your sitting in your house minding your own business then the chances of needing a gun to defend yourself from gun welding raiders is unlikely.
Yes, but if the maniac decides to break into my home I'd argue that I needed one.
If, say, I was going out with the ex-girlfriend of a bloke who was being let out of prison on early release I'd say I definitely needed one. 🙂
So it's German than or Spanish maybe French seems depend which website.
No mman, they use it in each country and his mam was French and so he ended up with the name. The endless pisstaking might have been what started him on his life of petty crime and madness.
That and the Ginger bullying.

Yet it also says it used in English speaking countries. Maybe I should ask my ginger Geordie friend called Raoul?
201. A good day's work.
sorry
No need for the above!! You got kids? Doubt it!!!!
superb bit of spontaneous "getting offended by proxy" there wrightyson. You should write for the Indy.

Who the **** are these idiots? Why bother wearing DPM and popping up their big bright uncovered pink heads (with blonde hair and all)?
Why is their admin lying all over the place and why is the birds bergen blocking her view?
Just send in someone who knows what they're doing for gawds sake.
That kit could be reissued to someone who;
a) needs it and
b) Knows how to use it.
I think they're from the Police "Equity" Division, luvvy darling.
Still, I dont fancy that cow's chances at that range, even if those two couldnt normally hit a barn door with a cricket bat.
😉 stoner
Nice swift edit Jacko! Good work. Anyway back to the thread have they found him yet? Not heard the news since 2 ish?
Why bother wearing DPM etc
Without wishing any major disrespect to people who are doubtless doing their best, they [u]bloody love it[/u].
They aren't seriously worried about this bloke killing them (there are hundreds of them, armed to the teeth) and they are having a very satisfying day out. Dressing up like a soldier is all part of the fun. I daresay they'll be doing what they can to get hold of slouch hats and camo face-paint for tomorrow's shift, and the chaps doing the evening shift are probably squabbling over who gets to have the night-vision scope.
Apparantly the Police have just announced that the reward will increase to £20,000 next week if they still haven't made an arrest as it will be a raoulover.
moat is behind my sofa...he grunts now an then,then i know to chuck him my left overs
that's the lead they've waiting for all day. They swoop as we speak....
All the chip shops in Northumberland will be closed until further notice. There will be no fishy on a little dishy till the moat comes in.
lol
tell you what, that's a might big arse on that sniper bird. Nearly didnt notice what with all that DPM 😉
She is wearing armoured underpants from Northern Ireland. One simply cannot be too careful. 🙂
weight watchers have had a sudden surge of new members after raoul moats warnng to the "wider public"!
She's looks as if she's been issued with the infamous "G10 arse". All women are issued this when they join the army and they are ginormous. This walt-type bird probably has padded pants on to compensate for lack of G10age.
I don't want to p1ss on anyones 'get the SAS to sort him' parade but don't you think that they may have more important things on the go at the moment? Like fighting wars overseas and homeland security? I don't think some fat ginger 'roid raged psycho is going to get their attention anytime soon. The local fire arms boys don't get much chance to shoot people for real and deserve the chance of some live target practice. let them have their moment of glory, with any luck it'll be caught on film.
Fair one, but even the Royal Logistics Corps could find that idiot with some decent landsharks. Going by that pic, the rozzers'll be after him for ages.
lots of O/T to pay for there fun in the sun. TBH tho they'll use this as an advanced real life training session. There is no substitute for the real deal and operating for an extended period with the adrenaline gnawing away at you is something you can't simulate.
Backhander - the cow is, in fact, special forces. Sneaky.
Surely they could track him with dogs (vicious ones hopefully)
Maybe I should ask my ginger Geordie friend called Raoul?
Good luck with that, I hear he's raoully difficult to pin down at the moment 🙂
