Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, whose notorious murder campaign caused "widespread and permanent harm to the living", will never be released, a judge has ruled.

The serial killer of 13 women must serve a "whole life" tariff, said Mr Justice Mitting, announcing his decision at the High Court in London.


At last common sense prevails.

None. He likes football but not playing synths. Now that would be a great combination. :punch:

Glad to help. Listen to a bit of Prokofiev, and John Williams doesn't sound quite so original anymore.

You have a particular fascination with this piece?

I heard it somewhere many years ago, and liked it a lot, so I wanted to find out what it was, but never managed to. For some reason I got it on my mind again yesterday, and figured I'd try 'n post a clip here, playing what I remember of it. :robertdugenou:

It's a strange world; who on earth would pay £800 for a cats ashes-

ITV NEWS CLICK HERE

It would have had Ena Sharples spluttering into her milk stout.

The ashes of the cat that appeared in the title sequence of Coronation Street sold at auction today for £700 – five times the estimate.

Frisky the cat appeared in the opening of more than 1,000 episodes of the soap, crouching on the roof of Jack Duckworth's pigeon loft.

His remains had been expected to fetch £150 at Dominic Winter Book Auctions in South Cerney, Gloucestershire. But soap fans from around the world packed the auction room and made telephone and internet bids to push the final hammer price to £700, or £844 after fees.

The money will be given by the owner, John Rimington, from Leeds, to the charity Cats Protection.

He said: "Frisky was not only a much-loved family pet but also captured the heart of the nation. We were very proud to be his owners and we are keen to keep his memory alive."

Frisky shot to fame in 1990 when he was chosen from 5,000 hopefuls to star in the opening titles of Coronation Street.

At the height of his stardom, Frisky's fan club had 1,500 members and he would receive bags of fan mail. But he was diagnosed with cancer in 2000 and his owners had to have him put to sleep.

Frisky continued to feature in the opening credits of the soap until 2001.

His ashes were sold in a sealed wooden casket with a small brass plaque, together with a certificate from a pet crematorium confirming Frisky's cremation on 17 November 2000.

The auctioneer, Chris Albury, said: "It is one of the quirkiest lots we've ever sold – up there with one of Napoleon's teeth and a lock of Jane Austen's hair. We've had a lot of interest worldwide from as far away as New Zealand."

The buyer of Frisky's remains – as yet unidentified – is a soap fan from Essex

That is strange but there must be a reasonable explanation. :fine:
