  1. I was really hoping to see the HBO TV series, Rome. The first time we see Lucius Verinus and Titus Pullo they’re in an authentically depicted battle, that I thought this guy might give a 10/10 to. Where the commanders blew whistles to let the next ranks through, so their men were always fresh. Would have loved to see what he made of that.

  2. Get Ben Miller to play you in the series. He’s a dead ringer for you. Would have loved to hear more about how you met people who expanded your universe into Columbia’s drug world? They can’t be on every street corner? Also, how the heck do you survive in such a business? You come off as strikingly mild mannered, but you must have either a sociopathic streak, or you must have had your own muscle men? How does an international drug lord get out of jail so young? I get why they transferred you back to Blighty, but even with good behaviour, surely the sentence was life, wasn’t it?

  3. It’s probably all just brass anyway, knowing them and how they run their economy. The average Spanish waiter has more gold around his neck than any banker will see in his lifetime. I’ve often wondered about places like Area 51 and Fort Knox? If everyone knows this is where the good stuff is at, surely it makes sense to stash it all somewhere else and let false publicity do half of your real security for you?

  4.  @ilyfein9118  : Bank Heist. Spanish Netflix series. Not for me, but very popular apparently. Enough for sequels anyway. As soon as I see the word, “series,” attached to the title, “Bank Heist,” I lose the will to live. That already tells you SO MUCH of the plot right there: it’s not a clean getaway, and that the robbers and victims are all going to get, “involved,” with each other in a ludicrously unrealistic fashion, and that most of what’s happening will be in flash backs, and the rest will implausible excuses to drag the story out to fill time. Still, that’s just me.

  5. They could get Adam Ant? He’d be perfect for that. And quite, “charming,” too. 😉

  6. That’s his story. The facts will be a little greyer. They always are . . .

  7.  LordBaneThePlayer  : In a former life I used to be a bit, “naughty,” and I always used to think, the more elaborate the security arrangements are, the more they help the prepared thief. Do all the guards of that bank have frog suits, training and underwater weapons? Probably not. Accessing the vault is the real problem, but after that, a well trained, equipped and prepared team of robbers would now find themselves isolated from pursuers, so long as they had their egress figured out? Better off dropping two parts quick setting concrete to one part water. That’d put a crimp in their step.

  8. Nah, that’s what those pricks live for. Especially the ones who are likely to do that kind of interview. And what for? When you’ve got forensic experts, doctors, cops, psychologists, etc, who can give you a much more experienced insight?

  9.  @Cortsy14  : There’s a fun one (if not actually, “good”) with Henry Rollins about a bank robbery gone wrong/ turned siege. Not that one is it?

  10. Any president or premier of the western world would do for that. 🙄

  11.  @mymaster416  : Not really. But they made trump president anyway. 🥴 Till he got fired 😉
