    00:46 There is a lad about to launch himself and the wheel up over the house and into the Atlantic. Back then mechanics didn't need Tyre inflation safety cages. They opted to use a parachute instead.

    Happy, smiling, waving people, even the bank robber in the scooter smiles as he glides pn by with his pockets full of 1,000 hundred punt notes, heading for the border, later after he was cornered by the police, he said wasn't me, I didn't leave the house all that day I had a severe migraine headache and was not able to stand up, he stuck to his alibi and was set free to enjoy the vast amount of money that he took from the bank and that very day in 1976, in the city of Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry, Ireland, for years and years after you would see him hanging out with Eddie Jordan and his F1 team in Monaco with the bank robbers yacht tied up nearby, who said crime doesn't pay.

      Yep that is absolutely true. Before this very day he drew the dole - dug graves as a sideline. He also ran poached salmon - gaffed from the local river under the watchful eyes of the local bailiff - into Killarneys hotels in a car whose 'incognito' registration plates would not be twigged by the bailiffs. He was also a reliable local distributor of Poitin - moonshined in the very Derrynasagart hills that surround Kilgarvan. Was a first class marksman who culled the excess the derr on the side of Mangerton mountain and stocked the butchers in Killarney with venison.
