Didn't see any pictures of the charming couple. Anything online?

Edit: Never mind, I found something on the Daily Mail's website. Cheap M&S looking suit on him. Actually she looks alright to me, in a slightly "dirty girl" kind of way.

You Brits sure use different words then we Yanks do.
Like romp and bonking

But a interesting article to read!

Never fear Jason, the Brits have many, many words they can use, and they're continuously evolving - in this respect the Queens English is QUITE different, and much more varied then the dumbed down American version....

I agree entirely. In at least 95% of discussions I find myself in the side of free speech (including various incitement to hatred-du-jour laws) but I really do think that criminals should not be permitted to profit from their crimes by selling their stories.

I admit, however, it's not easy to know where to draw the line. What about reformed criminals who write rather thoughtful books about their past life decades later, for example?

I'd agree about profiting from crime, but the real root of the problem is the average punter who reads the gutter press appears to want to read these stories, so there's a lot of pressure to build them up as much as possible. Now if we weren't so voyeuristic....

As a slight aside, does anyone remember the Mini ad that claimed it "Nipped in and out like Ronnie Biggs"? Wonderful, and I assume he didn't make a penny from it? Mind, if I'd been living in Rio with a much younger girlfriend, maybe I wouldn't have cared either....
