| Isn't this a weird coincidence? I was watching an old episode of Q.I. in which they discussed the Great Train Robbery and then, as I often do, went to read about it on Wikipedia, from which I went to Biggs's article only to discover that he died today. |

No need to delete this if I add something, but I just can't think of what to put. I didn't want to put R.I.P. since, despite people rather treating them as lovable rogues, they ruined the rest of the driver's life. I really tried to come up with some pun or variant, but when I realised I'd written something half in English and half is Spanish, I thought I'd better just give up.
Edit: O.K., I've added it on the basis that it stands for Railway Idiot Passes. |
