    Another one? In one week? Well, he's different, but still - well known. It's getting spooky.

    Good guy or bad guy? Guess someone else gets to call that one now.

    RIP Ronnie.

    I don't wish his spirit if that's what he is now any good or bad, it makes no difference to me whether he's dead or alive but he wasn't anything other than a petty thief who didn't give a toss about much else other than his own ego.

    I'll give him his dues to the fact that he sold a good story, it's just a shame there's so many suckers in this world that are only too eager to buy that crap, and still do instead of seeing people like him for what they really are, no different to the dirty little thieves who burgle houses or steal cars or nick your wallet.

      I don't claim he was a hero or a role model but I refuse to judge Mr Biggs as I wasn't walking in his shoes and do not really understand his life's path. Apparently he played a comparatively minor role in the Great Train Robbery. Now dead. RIP
