Did anybody else just see North Tonight's report on the head and hand found on Arbroath beach?

They went to the weather report, but left the visuals running of the 'bits' being carted off in a big blue bag. Meanwhile the weather guy was telling us it was a real 'mixed-bag' of a day (visuals of body bag still onscreen).

Wonderful stuff

Can't believe i missed that. I was just away to link the story.Arbroath In Scotland: Children Find Head In A Plastic Bag On A Beach |Sky News|UK News

The wee kids must've got a shock!

(I was going to say they were probably 'hacked off' at their day being ruined, but it'll be something they can tell their grandchildren about).

Wonder which bits will turn up next

"I can imagine the children would be quite surprised and shocked, it would be quite grim for them"

Understatement quoted from page three of the Evening Express on Tuesday the first of April 2008

Also members of the public were warned they face seeing a large police presence in the area....

Ha. I think North Tonight is repeated in the middle of the night for insomniacs, alcoholics and angry loners.

Apparently the kid's dad said he would never get ahead in life playing about on the beach.

Alan, I read a report saying that they expect the main part of the body to turn up next, (t)or so they say.

Trust Bigsby to do some gentle 'ribbing'

Mind you...his jokes are often 'second-hand' n-knee way.

I reckon it was her boyfriend...he got her 'off her head' so he could indulge in some necking.

(Actually I've a song which is very close in subject matter to this....I sang it at Kilau and a table of Christian game-players got up and left).

at least they didn't find an arse in a bag, that would have been a real bummer.

or some chopped up genitallia, I would have felt a bit of a prick, handing that into the bobbies.

Nicely lowered there Phil

On the Stand Free forum someone said it 'obviously wasn't a bag for life'.

I'm hoping Arbroath will use it as a tourist attraction on posters...

"Head to Arbroath beach"

"Arbroath.....never an 'off-hand' experience"

"Arbroath - a great place for beachcombing. You take the comb, we'll provide the heads"

I heard there was a local avant garde hat maker who makes fine head pieces, lost one on the beach and a local jamaican beach comber found it, and it was not to his taste, (he was heard to say: )

"de cap, I hate it!"

I think I'll go for a lie down now.
