Raoul Moat/John Rambo

No, this calls for a serious negotiator

Oh God, a mountainbiker has turned up – anyone we know?

Mountain biker on bbc news, yea 🙂

MTB'er on now ! BBC

LOL he's knackered

lol they have a mountain biker 🙂

What bike is matey riding. How discerning is he? He's knackered mind! Brilliant.

What tyres for being shot?

Lets see if we can get a better shot of these policemen just as the camera zooms in on the wpcs crotch !

"shoot the gun out of his hand?"
You do realise it's not "Die Hard" or some other hollywood crap?:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHvWaviIXsk easy peasy!

Missed him who was it woody?

Not sure. Bald, medium build, guess at 5'9".

that vid was what i was referring to

what bike was he on?

Hmmmm not sure. What kind of bike?

The various witnesses are doing themselves credit with very careful descriptions, not the generalisations and sensational stuff the presenters are trying to portray

Moat, shotgun to own head: "can I have a tab like?"
Police marksman, gun pointed at moat: "I'm terribly sorry, but we're not allowed to give you a cigarette, it may be harmful to your health"

It wasn't TC on the bike.

She's a CSO and is a very nice person.

Yeah the 5 9 gave that away. Bald head rules Jonesy out.

The biker interviewed didn't have a bald head BTW. Short, light coloured hair. And said "I'm knackered man" – do you know him ?

😉

Witness just said police are within 20ft.

Now I'm no marksman, but I'm pretty sure I could shoot a gun out his hand from that range 😀

Liked the witness description: "the police are hiding. Some are hiding behind each other…" 🙂

"You go first Terry", "No, no, Brian on you go"

Not sure all rough idea but others I know didn't recognise him. Still least my advice not to ride area was right but ignored.

Oooh **** wonder if my bro is at work. Shit.

Reading this is more interesting than watching it unfold on tv.

WTF is a "quooory"?

I was desrcribing the ambulance guy !

No the biker wasn't Jonesy – +/- early 20's

"Now I'm no marksman, but I'm pretty sure I could shoot a gun out his hand from that range"

hmmm, pretty sure I could as well, but depending on what I'm armed with and what he's armed with, I'd want to be really really really sure at that range 🙂

You guys are wasted on this forum, shouldn't you all be at Bisley?

😉

I used to be 🙂

Oh haha yeah know who that is. I think as hart may be there too.

According to Sky's website the police are training their weapons down at the riverside – are they training them not to leave a magazine full of rounds in someone's house?

"There is some semblance of normality going on…" Says the TV presenter surrounded by locals watching an empty street in a quiet village full of armed police from all corners of the UK.

man with tazer man with tazer!

Do you think the chip van made it into Rothbury tonight?

I thought they had a chip shop – quite good from what i remember.

Your memory deceives you it's a Chinese chip shop and is piss poor.

Why don't they use a tranquillizer dart, are there any zoo vets up there who can do it! 😆

Excellent chip shop Lee 😀

Mmm, dutch smokie and chips please.

The boneheaded reporting makes one thing very clear – we need Chris Morris, more than ever. News felch!

"The only way police can neutralise bombdogs is to spray them with a resin coating which hardens instantly to contain any explosion. The inside of the bombdog is obviously destroyed, but the outside stays the same shape. However, if the underside is not covered, a highly directional blast launches the animal vertically to a height of over a thousand feet."

The vans the Connoisseur's choice.
