how a trip was ruined by thieves

[surfdude]

A group of charity cyclists have experienced a nightmare end to a fortnight-long 1,400 mile ride from London to Rome.

While the 11 cyclists, most of them from Cornwall, were posing for photographs in front of the Coliseum yesterday afternoon, thieves ransacked their support van, taking 24 bags, seven laptops, go pros, watches, Ipads, cameras, food and other personal possessions.

It's a bit of a bugger but on the other hand they're still alive and have their bikes and insurance. They do have insurance don't they?

Is it the full H D and Q with privates being chopped off and entrails removed and burnt or just a quickie?

For the organisers? Definitely.

That they should return to the place from whence they came, from thence be drawn to the Common place of Execution upon Hurdles, and there to be Hanged by the Necks, then cut down alive, their Privy-Members cut off, and Bowels taken out to be burned before their Faces, their Heads to be severed from their Bodies, and their Bodies divided into four parts, to be disposed of as the King should think fit

Hanged and hung both tend to be used, whether this is due to the literacy of the record, or the two words simply became interchangeable
