Canoe man?
That went over my head. I've been overseas... Didn't know Winehouse was muerta until two weeks after the fact. Have I missed out on some crazy kayaking mischief, too?

That fellow that pretended to be dead. Northern fellow.

Ohh, that eejit.
Why do wealthy criminals on the lam always get the itch to return to England - Biggs, Buster, Canoe-man et al? There is nothing, zilch, zip, zero in this godforsaken country that would lure me back once the con had been cashed.

Is it because these costa-del-crime
types stem from the lower social orders, do you think? Perhaps their very un-cosmopolitan backgrounds and strong sense of community forges an unbreakable bond with merry old England... There is nothing to lure me back except the child.
