    From the article:

    One neighbour of Mr Bird described him as a quiet man who kept "himself to himself" and had not talked to his neighbours despite living there for several years

    I know this is scary and dangerous and all that, but I still have to (mis)quote St. George (Carlin)...

    "...Someone always says, 'He was always very quiet.' And then someone inevitably responds with 'It's the quiet ones ya gotta watch.' This, to me, is a very dangerous notion. I bet while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will #%(&#ing kill you! Say you're in a bar somewhere, and there's a quiet guy sitting in the corner, not bothering anyone. Then some other guy jumps up on the counter with a shotgun and yells, 'I'll kill the next #(%*&@# that walks in here!!!'...... Who ya gonna watch?"

    Anyway... Hope the cops nab this guy nice and quick. EDIT: Oh, just saw Pete's post... The guy's dead... And there was much rejoicing... yay.

    They said that Dennis Nilson[^] was 'Quiet and Kept Himself to Himself'. What do you expect? Open a window and yell "I've got another one!"?

      Have you ever seen Natural Born Killers (1994)[^]? That's an exaggerated example of a noisy one (Well, two) that'll @&*)%ing kill you :)

          14.16 Police have confirmed Derrick Bird has been found dead. The BBC reports he shot himself in a wooded area. A police spokesman says: "Our focus is now on the movements of Mr Bird this morning -we believe there are a number of fatalities and injuries. Our thoughts are with the families in these tragic times. We are asking for any witnesses to come forward and help us with our investigation into the events of this morning. "Police are asking those who were sheltering to now go about their normal day to day activities and would like to thank them for their patience in incredibly difficult circumstances. "Please be aware there are a number of crime scenes across the county and we would ask for people's patince whilst we conduct our investigations."

            Just so everyone knows, it wasn't me doing the shooting... this time.

                It's only considered deragatory by limies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Doodle[^] I'm proud to be called a "yank" by the brits.

                  There are parts of the rural south where calling someone a yankee is still considered fighting words... I wouldn't count on that sort of redneck to realize the ignorant limey has no idea what he's actually saying.

                        If the numbers you gave hold out, his score will by higher than Michael Ryan's[^]. looks like this will be extended to shotguns.
