Wahahahahah! Ecclestone's comments in response to an attempted attack on Jenson Button : "They look for victims, they look for anyone that looks like a soft touch and not too bright," Ecclestone said. "The people that look a bit soft and simple, they will always have a go at." The biter bit, Bernie! Reply to this message | Report message

The guy is 80. It's usually a pensioner outside a PO. These guys are despicable. I could suggest a suitable punishment but I might be accused of being un-pc! John Reply to this message | Report message

There was an astonishing (well, maybe not) statistic on tv last night. 1 in 4 women has suffered from violence at the hands of her partner. And 1 in 6 men. Even taking these numbers with a pinch of salt and wondering what the definition of "violence" is, that is an awful lot of people who seem to engage in casual violence. How many F1 cars can you line up Humph? John Reply to this message | Report message

...I still can't get over how anyone could stoop so low... I know Ecclestone's a man of diminutive stature, but perhaps the mugger's weren't very tall either. Reply to this message | Report message

"Lembit Öpik got that attracts the younger GF?" Whatever he's got, he can keep it. Humping a Cheeky Girl must be like riding a bike over train tracks. Uugh. Reply to this message | Report message

Horrible ugly thing. Not the sort of specimen you'd want to take home to your parents. Clearly a tasteless fashion victim. Last edited by: Pugugly on Wed 8 Dec 10 at 14:01 Reply to this message | Report message

It is deadful that thugs would do that to someone never mind an 80 year old man, just to get some money. As for the watch, that is one ugly tasteless mutt. I wonder if the thieves will get anything for the watch beyond a derisory sum? It is such a high end model, that there cannot be many about, so selling it on at a high price would be hard. I notice the charity Victim Support came out with the usual lack of sense of humour comment we hear so often these days. I think anyone who sees that advert will be shocked that someone could do that, and any laughter at the advert will be black humour, and with a nod of respect towards Ecclestone. And it might make wealthy watch owners take more care of their porta-bling. Reply to this message | Report message
