Raoul Moat/John Rambo

Drac pleased to see your not on duty, my mate Corky isn't working is he?

He seems up right next to the stepping stones where the road comes down from the main road. The camera seemed to be on the station road just before you get to the old Masonic hall.

Ooh hart boys have arrived.

He's a good way from the old peoples home.

Can't they just use streetview to find him…

streetview

Is it over because the police have gone on Streetview!

No White he's been on days. He's probably in the queens though.

That figures, in times of crisis alan can always be found clutching a pint

where ,moat is?

Well, that's looking promising. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Haha you know him well.

Concerned a little, sure they're safe but pretty sure my staff are there.

I hate the way that I've been getting sick texts all day, trying to make jokes of such a tragic situation. I don't find it raoulmoatly funny.

Negotiating be damned, just shoot the f*cker!, or, seeing as he has allegedly got his gun pointing at his neck, just goad him until he blows his own head off.

Job done.

guy on news: shot guns arnt lethal from a few yards away

erm a shot gun can kill even at 60 metres, amd 30 metres even if armour is used

Your map link is broke. If you look for riverside roughly where the e is on riverside is about there.

and last i checked shot guns pellets are mid velocity….

Tenmen beeb done least 4 times now.

I thiught sawn-offs were a lot less lethal at range cos they just spray everywhere?

so it looks like the negotiator is looking sth at moat – basically moat is between negotiator and river. poor buggers were only not long back in their homes after the floods down there.

sawn offs are most effective between 2-25 metres because of the spread iirc, put it this way, even with the spread people would be loosing an eye, arm or leg…

Yup exciting street riverside.

Riverside dum dum dum de de dum dum

depends on the round, the amount of propellant in the cartridge, the size of the shot…. bloody allsorts really. I don't want to be shot with one either way.

Is "Pon Tee Land" near Ponteland?

going to get dark fairly soon, things might change, police can work shifts but there's only one of him. interesting to see how long he can keep this up, assuming he's been awake since early doors.

It's pronounced pon tee land

he's been awake since early doors.

are you thinking he might nod off?

go to 1:40

Is "Pon Tee Land" near Ponteland?

Erm.. that's how I pronounce it.

'are you suggesting he's going to nod off?'

not before I do with the continuous replays on the beeb

Fourcross he has a civilian 12 bore and probably normal ammo probably not even magnum.

It's pronounced pon tee land

is it… I've always driven through Ponty Land on the way to Glenstress… you learn something new every day

Good Graham that's right however pointy land is not although it's nicknamed that.

i know hes a civilian but i was giving examples of shit gun rounds that are very high velocity

Great, there sending in food & drink for him now !

THey could drug the food & drink with sleeping tablets, job done! 😉

moat if he has his head screwed on will use a taste tester, and also the police arnt allowed to do that, its against his human rights 🙄

Is "Pon Tee Land" near Ponteland?

I thought it was known as poncyland

can we just get a us marine drill sergeant to walk and tell him he has a major malfunction, then he will top himself. (full metal jacket)
no respect to the marine, they are great blokes

Gazza has turned up……………… 😆

Paul Gascoigne now there?! Wtf?!

I wish all the times I've drudged around Craggside as a kid were as exciting as this

Paul gascoigne. It'll end in tears.
