In the past hour there have apparently been exciting developments in the hunt for the Tyneside Shooter, Roaul Moat. The only thing we know for sure is that two police cars have crashed into each other in the town of Rothbury. The police have also issued statement to the effect that they have an armed man who fits Moat's description cornered and are trying to negotiate a peaceful solution. If this is true then I suspect that the whole saga will this evening come to a peaceful solution. This is partly because Moat is obviously a bit of a lightweight but mainly it's because the Brits coping strategy for the whole situation is starting to get a bit embarrassing.
In the early part of the week the area was flooded with police officers all dressed in black, carrying assault rifles and wearing Kevlar, coal-scuttle type. This made it look as if the North East of England had been invaded by Nazis from the North Sea. Then today with the whole US/Russia spy swap the RAF scrambled a Tornado fighter jet to help with the search giving the impression that no in fact it was the Russians who had invaded.
It's also worth pointing out that the Big Brother live eviction show goes on air in about 30mins. This week in Big Brother a giant, radio controlled robot called Titan has entered the house and is doing battle with the housemates individually. If the housemates lose to the robot they are turned into robots and prevented from taking part in the final battle against the machines. So basically yes they've just ripped off the main theme to the Terminator franchise. Apart from the usual eviction tonight three new housemates will enter the house to make up for the evictees, escapees and overwhelming boredom.
