Is Ek nie oral, in die hemel en op die aarde nie?” vra die Here.(NLV) Onthou jy hoe jy dit vir jou ouers probeer wegsteek het, toe jy as kind iets verkeerd gedoen het? Soms het jy daarmee weggekom, ander kere het jy nie. Hoe dit ook al sy, dit was nie 'n lekker gevoel om dinge weg te steek of om uitgevang te word nie, was dit?In 1963 het elf mans 'n waaghalsige rooftog, wat bekend geword het as "The Great Train Robbery" in die Verenigde Koninkryk uitgevoer. Hulle het £2,6 miljoen wat vandag ongeveer £55 miljoen werd sou wees, gesteel. Die meeste daarvan is nooit teruggevind nie.Een van die diewe, Ronnie Biggs, het veral bekend geword toe hy uit die tronk ontsnap het. Hy het nadat hy net 15 maande van sy 30 jaar vonnis uitgedien het, die meeste van sy lewe as 'n voortvlugtige in Brasilië deurgebring.Maar Groot-Brittanje het geen uitleweringsverdrag met Brasilië gehad nie, en Ronnie het dus veilig en in weelde in Brasilië geleef, maar toe het die realiteit van sy sonde hom getref. Na 35 jaar het hy teruggekeer huis toe, waar hy onmiddellik gearresteer en na die tronk toe teruggestuur is.Dis fassinerend, nè? Sy gewete het hom aangespreek. Is ons nie dom om te dink dat ons op een of ander manier ons wandade vir God kan wegsteek nie?Jeremia 23:23-24 “Is Ek miskien 'n God wat net op een plek is?” vra die Here. “Dink hulle Ek sien nie wat hulle doen nie?

Dit is tyd om te bely en dinge met God reg te maak; om om te draai en huis toe te kom. En wanneer jy dit doen, sal Hy, eerder as om jou te gryp en toe te sluit; jou vergewe.

Send us a textEpisode 196He was no mastermind, no cold-eyed kingpin orchestrating a perfect crime. Ronnie Biggs was something else entirely — an unlikely outlaw, a charming misfit who stumbled into one of the most audacious heists in British history and then did something few manage: he vanished. This is not a story of sharp suits and silent safes, but of grit and greed, of panic and passports, of back-alley surgeries and samba drums.It's the tale of a man who coshed no one, fired no gun, but found his name chained forever to a crime that shook the country. From a grey English prison to the sun-blasted streets of Rio de Janeiro, this is the story of a man who ran far, ran fast, and ran out of time.Ronnie Biggs: train robber, fugitive, folk antihero. This is how he slipped the net — and what happened after.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com
Fugitive Ronnie Biggs - infamous for participating in the Great Train Robbery of 1963, then escaping from Wandsworth Prison - was rescued by Bajan police after being kidnapped in Brazil today in history on 24th March 1981. A media frenzy ensued as reporters awaited his arrival, thanks to a tip-off by the operation's leader, John Miller. But Biggs found himself released by Barbados authorities, sparking a diplomatic clash between Brazil and the UK over extradition proceedings. In this episode, The Retrospectors explain why Biggs, back in Brazil, had little choice but to make a living through public appearances; consider his surprisingly insignificant involvement in the heist he is so strongly associated with; and reveal what happened when Biggs came back to England, after more than thirty years on the run… Further Reading: • ‘Kidnapping of Ronnie Biggs ends in farce' (The Guardian, 1981): https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/mar/25/ronnie-biggs-train-robbery-kidnap • ‘Former mercenary who tried to make it Biggs' (The Herald, 1997): https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12290059.former-mercenary-who-tried-to-make-it-biggs/ • ‘No One Is Innocent' (Sex Pistols, 1979): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWiAMeAS7bM&t=5s Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc., we delve into the legendary Great Train Robbery of 1963. Learn about the meticulous planning and audacious execution of the heist that targeted a Royal Mail train carrying £2.6 million from Glasgow to London. Discover how a gang of 15, led by Bruce Reynolds, orchestrated the robbery by tampering with railway signals and overpowering the crew without firearms. However, their near-perfect crime was marred by violence against train driver Jack Mills, and subsequent critical mistakes during their escape from Leather Slade Farm. The abandoned hideout became a forensic goldmine for the police, leading to the apprehension and conviction of most gang members. The episode also explores the social and cultural impact of the crime, the harsh sentences meted out, and the sensational prison escapes that followed, particularly Ronnie Biggs's escape that amplified his folk hero status. Uncover the unresolved mystery of the stolen loot, pondering the alluring, yet real, human cost of such criminal acts. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of this captivating case, and consider the broader implications of crime and punishment, both in the past and in today's advanced technological world.00:00 Introduction to the Great Train Robbery00:23 The Target: Royal Mail Train01:01 Meticulous Planning by the Gang01:33 Executing the Heist02:05 The Human Cost: Jack Mills03:08 The Escape Plan Unravels06:01 The Police Investigation08:35 The Trial and Sentencing10:24 Infamous Prison Escapes12:33 The Missing Loot14:22 The Robbery's Legacy15:48 Final Thoughts and Reflections Hosted on Acast.

August 2023 marked 60 years since one of the most iconic crimes of the 20th century – the Great Train Robbery. Ronnie Biggs emerged as the most notorious member of the gang, and today is synonymous with the 1960s as Lord Lucan and the Profumo Affair. In this conversation, his biographer and friend Chris Pickard gives us a glimpse into his colourful and audacious life. His fascinating book on Ronnie, The Great Train Robber, my autobiography, is out now. ***8 August 1963. It is the early hours of the morning, and a group of men are waiting at a railway bridge in Buckinghamshire. They are about to rob a mail train, on its way to London from Glasgow, and they have no idea that on board they will find approximately £2.5 million (over £50 million in today's money) in cash - the largest of its time. Among their number is Ronnie Biggs. He will be remembered long after most of the other names are forgotten, and the money spent or lost. What is it about Ronnie Biggs that fascinates people sixty years on from the crime that made his name? Is it the man or the myth that makes Ron a latter-day Robin Hood - the odd man in the confederation of criminals who held up a train on that fateful day? This is Ronnie Biggs' official autobiography. It tells of one of the most extraordinary lives of the twentieth century. From Ron's daring escape from HMP Wandsworth, to how he managed to outwit and outrun a posse of law enforcement officers as one of the world's most wanted men; from plastic surgery in Paris, and his years on the run in Brazil - complete with two kidnappings and an attempted suicide - to his return to the UK after 13,087 extraordinary days on the run.

Der Überfall auf einen britischen Postzug vom 8.8.1963 hat längst Legendenstatus. Doch den Männern um Anführer Bruce Reynolds brachte die Tat kein Glück - trotz der Beute von 2,6 Millionen Pfund. Autorin: Martina Meißner Von Martina Meißner.
Did the "heist of the century" really happen the way the robbers say it did? In the summer of 1963, a gang of masked robbers executed a daring plan to intercept a Royal Mail train carrying millions of pounds in cash. Operating in the quiet countryside of Buckinghamshire, England, the gang stopped the locomotive in its tracks, overpowering the train's crew and escaping with an astronomical haul. But the robbery itself was just the beginning - what came after - the most wanted men on the run, the jailbreak, the betrayals, fake identities, the surreptitious flights to Latin America and the manhunt across continents - the audacity of it all captured the public's imagination for decades.But with each grand retelling, we get further from the facts of what really happened. Joining Dan is the author of 'The Great Train Robbery: Crime of the Century', Nick Russell-Pavier who says that they may have pulled off the heist itself but their lack of planning for the aftermath was their downfall, and a common pattern in audacious heists like this and the Hatton Garden Diamond heist.Dan also hears from Colin Mackenzie who secured one of the scoops of the century when he tracked down train robber Ronnie Biggs in Brazil who was enjoying the beaches of Rio De Janeiro as a minor celebrity and fugitive.Produced by Mariana Des Forges, edited and sound designed by Dougal Patmore.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world-renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.Get 50% off your first 3 months with code DANSNOW.

We start Season 3 with an absolute cracker as Lynda, Cass and Jon discuss the forensics behind the Great Train Robbery with some of those who were involved. In a world first, Listening to the Dead brings together the son of the robbery's mastermind, Bruce Reynolds, with a fingerprint expert who worked on the case back in 1963. Sit back and enjoy a lively discussion about planted evidence, bungling robbers, the swinging Sixties, betrayal, distrust and life on the run. Jack Deans was just starting out in the Met Police's fingerprint department when the robbery happened and remembers manually searching the Met's paper database for the robbers' prints. He went on to have a 50 year career in fingerprinting. Nick Reynolds was a toddler when the robbery was committed and his earliest memories are of being on the run with his father in Central America along with 'uncles' Ronnie and Buster. After his father's arrest Nick visited him in prison and was part of the team that brought Ronnie Biggs back to the UK in 2001. Today he is a successful musician and frequent contributor to documentaries on the robbery. Chris Pickard worked with Ronnie Biggs on his renowned autobiography Odd Man Out (an updated edition is publishing this year) and is an authority on the Great Train Robbery. Lynda's new novel Vanished is out on March 31st 2022 in hardback, ebook and audiobook. Discover more at: www.lyndalaplante.com/listening-to-the-dead/ Nick Reynolds' band Alabama 3 is touring in 2022.

Interview: SIR RUPERT MACKESON He’s known to many racegoers as the genial gentleman that sells racing books and prints on course. That is undoubtedly true, though some may know that Sir Rupert Mackeson is a best-selling author in his own right, many won’t know that his soon to be published own story is a colourful as you’d find in fiction. Harrow educated, ex-amateur jockey and cavalry officer Rupert found himself working in the City for a bank controlled by the Mafia, escaped a possible elongated end under Blackfriars Bridge into a world of African smuggling, kidnapped….. We won’t spoil the story but will just say Scotland Yard famously said Sir Rupert Mackeson was second only to Ronnie Biggs giving them trouble in the 1970’s. Oh and there’s the small matter of what happened to Lord Lucan. Meeting Sir Rupert Mackeson. (interviewed by Simon Nott)
"They might not be the best, but they stay in the game for each other." “Not Bad Thanks” by Fitzroy local writer Graeme Willingham, chronicles the highs and lows of an 80-season old grassroots basketball club. The book covers the club’s premiership quests, disappointments, grade shuffles, recruitment, refereeing, tribunals, expansive rules and rituals, media scrutiny, births, deaths, awards and trophies – all weathered with the support of a team formed as much by after-game chats and their trademark “Not bad, thanks” greeting as by their performance on the court. With links to the likes of Magic Johnson, the Harlem Globetrotters, and the great Train robber, Ronnie Biggs, the book recently won Basketball Victoria’s 2019 media award. Graeme joins us on the podcast to talk about the book, basketball, mateship and life. "Not Bad Thanks" is available in the Yarra Libraries collection.

Así que chicas… ahí lo dejo. Tal día como hoy, un 8 de Agosto del año 1963, Bruce Reynolds y Ronnie Biggs asaltaron junto a otros treinta bandidos un tren de correos que viajaba desde Glasgow hasta la capital británica. En tan solo 15 minutos, el grupo de ladrones robó un botín valorado en más de dos millones de libras esterlinas, es decir, más 40 millones de euros. Once años después, en 1974, Richard Nixon se enfrentó al momento más complicado de su carrera: el escándalo político Watergate. El robo de documentos clasificados en la sede del Comité Nacional del Partido Demócrata provocó la renuncia del entonces Presidente de los Estados Unidos. El 8 de agosto de 1235 la Corona de Aragón conquista la isla de Ibiza. El 8 de agosto de 1949 La Unión Soviética detona su primera bomba atómica. El 8 de agosto de 1992 España gana en el Estadio Olímpico de Montjuic de Barcelona sus primeros Juegos Olímpicos en la modalidad de fútbol al derrotar a Polonia por 3 a 2.

Was passiert eigentlich, wenn man nach einem Postzug-Überfall nicht direkt über Los geht? Ronald Arthur Biggs hat's ausprobiert. Und auch, wenn wir euch hier sicherheitshalber lieber ein "Nicht nachmachen!" mit auf den Weg geben, so hat Ronnies Leben doch einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert: In dieser Folge erzählen wir euch, wie leicht man in den 1960er Jahren aus einem englischen Gefängnis ausbrechen konnte und welchen Weg man von da ab einschlagen muss, um mit den Sex Pistols auf einer Bühne zu landen. Folgt uns auf ein Abenteuer voller brasilianischer Stripperinnen, Monopoly und Rock'n'Roll!
This week Lucy discusses the guy who put the 'great' into 'great train robbery' and the girls learn that there's nothing you can't achieve with some plastic surgery and a Brazilian child. Emma then takes you back to the 19th Century for a killer doctor who would make a great pen pal. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Home Secretary, Theresa May reveals she has diabetes so Steve offers some advice; Ronnie Biggs brags about his involvement in the Great Train Robbery on the hiest's 50th anniversary; Victoria Beckham tries to give parenting advice to the Royals.
Mark Lawson unwraps new interviews with arts headline makers of the year, in the first of two special programmes. In the wake of the record-breaking success of the James Bond film Skyfall, Judi Dench reflects on her role as M, and director Sam Mendes discusses the pressures of working on such a high-profile movie - and whether he knew about Bond's secret role in the Olympic opening ceremony. Hilary Mantel remembers the night when she won the Man Booker Prize for the second time - the only woman to do so - and Sheridan Smith looks back on a year in which her roles have ranged from Hedda Gabler on stage to the wife of train robber Ronnie Biggs on TV. Dramatist James Graham won acclaim for This House, his play about the struggles of the Labour government between 1974 and 1979. He reveals how he has seen many key politicians of the period in the audience, comparing his version of events with their own memories. Rebecca Front, winner of a British Comedy Award for her role in the political TV comedy The Thick Of It, considers how the latest series regularly seemed to predict the news headlines, and members of the Mercury Prize-winning band alt-J talk about their approach to rehearsals, with strict rules about attendance and mobile phone use. Producer Ella-mai Robey.
With Mark Lawson. Sheridan Smith takes the lead role in the new ITV1 drama series Mrs Biggs, which focuses on the story of Charmian, the wife of notorious train robber Ronnie Biggs. It follows her as she falls in love with Ronnie, discovers his role in the Great Train Robbery, and then secretly emigrates to Australia with him. Sarah Crompton reviews. The American author Joyce Carol Oates discusses her prolific writing career, and how her memoir about becoming a widow brought new readers with different reactions to her work. She also reflects on America's great post-war writers. Toby Jones (Frost/Nixon, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games) stars in the film Berberian Sound Studio, directed by Peter Strickland. Jones plays a mild-mannered sound effects specialist, whose work on a 1970s Italian horror film finds him stuck in a small room with only the grisly and sinister sounds for company. Critic Mark Eccleston gives his verdict. William Letford discusses his debut poetry collection Bevel, and how his work as a roofer since the age of 15 has inspired his writing. Letford often inscribed poems onto the joists of the roofs he worked on. Producer Ella-mai Robey.
This Week: Celebrated author Marisa Silver exorcises her right to write… We go on the lam with Ronnie Biggs… and Brendan discovers a sandwich shop inside a bodega wrapped up in an enigma.
