I'm starting a friendly sweepstake on when/if the smiling celebrity bombers will be executed.

Present odds are:

Indefinite postponement - 2:1
Tonight - 15:1
Tomorrow night - 20:1
Sometime over the weekend - 10:1
By 15 Nov - 6:1

25 quid on Indefinite Postponement. I think those odds are pretty good. I'm surprised its not even money.

Cheque on its way !

Actually, the way things are going I may have to shorten the odds on postponement.

I'm also offering 50:1 on Amrozi becoming a full-time TV celeb and 1:10 odds on that the way the whole circus has been mismanaged we will see yet more idiots inspired to follow in the bombers' footsteps.

According to the attorney general's office today 'the beginning of November' has been extended to include November 20. Of course, they haven't specified in which year that will be yet...

How about 50:1 that the firing squad misses altogether as Indonesia's security forces are not used to shooting people who are actually facing them...
