First random news type thoughts

Despite it being 3 am when I should probably try getting some sleep I'm going to take advantage of my internet connection actually working at a useable speed and keep writing. I'll take a brief pause in my shameless self promotion and write about a story which I saw on The Sun's website a couple of days ago which made me laugh and some of my friends found funny. It described a criminal gang in Sweeden who it's claimed had been hiding children or small people in luggage which were then put into the holds of Coaches. The small stowaways then climbed out of their hiding places while the Coach was moving and stole items from other passengers suitcases. This is unfortunate for the victims of the crime, but quite an amusing and creative plot on the part of the gang who were clearly thinking out of the box or err... suitcase (sorry bad joke but couldn't resist). The Police officer leading the inquiry later said something along the lines of "they were investigating people of limited stature". Surely no British Police officer would dare say anything like this for fear of provoking hordes of complaints from busy bodies intersted in equality and political correctness. Thats all for now.
