    B&B man jailed for spying on guests
    Press Association – 7 hours ago.. .
    .
    A B&B owner from the seaside town of Scarborough has been jailed for spying on his …


    A bed and breakfast owner who spied on his guests through secret peepholes and made audio recordings of their most intimate moments has been jailed for 18 weeks, court officials said.

    Paul Williams, 60, watched three couples from holes which he had drilled in the doors of the rooms at his bed-and-breakfast in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

    He was discovered when one of his victims, a 16-year-old student, noticed a poster placed over one of the holes begin to move.

    Her boyfriend investigated and found a hole which provided a view directly on to the bed.

    He then heard movement in the corridor outside and discovered Williams, who was wearing just a dressing gown.

    Williams, of Devonshire Drive, Scarborough, pleaded guilty to charges of voyeurism and has been sentenced at the town's magistrates' court.

    Magistrate Mrs Kate Warnock-Smith said the offences were so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified.

    She said the aggravating factors were his breach of trust as a hotelier and the young age of some of the victims.

    She said the victims had been left distressed by their ordeal.

    The public gallery was packed with friends and relatives of the victims as Williams was sentenced.


    Coinicidence ? :))

    Thunderpussy I just want to know one thing, did Williams have an umbrella near by or not :)) :)) :))
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Noticed C&A down to the number six position already,while the boy wizard is back up to number three. Looks like it's going to have a hard time recouping it's money. Or rather it looks to be a Huge Hit like QOS was. :v :)) :)) :))
    As far I know GaddGeneGadd, Williams is more a WELLIES and warm Custard aficionado. :D

    I'm off to the UK premiere of Cowboys & Aliens at the O2 Arena this evening. Am hoping to get a picture or three with DC

    C&A is just another summer action flick IMO not a bad one at that; Harry Potter is a cultural phenom based upon books that are sold and read in unbelievable numbers. Plus many Potter fans are of the age group that will go see a film they really like multiple times. The Craig flogging that goes on here (apparently by a vocal minority) is getting interesting...not only does he suck at being James Bond but he sucks at everything else. Reminds me of the Far Right and President Obama in the US....

    There's a well know saying that a discussion ends when soneone adds "It's like something Hitler would of done" or somthing similar. :)) .
    It would seem now on AJB007, President Obama is the new Bench mark. :D
    To connect any Criticism of Craig ( No matter how tounge in cheek ) with the far right of American Politics. Seems a Little Absurd. :))
    As far as the vocal Minority "Flogging" Craig I think there is really only myself and Supperdaddy, I though we might of been tolerated, If only to give a variety of Opinions. Given the amount of Fans he has here. But now it would seem NO Criticism Of the Great One is Allowed, Although How simply pointing Out that This much Hyped Summer Blockbuster has within a week fallen to sixth place. :D
    I for one have always tried to be pleasant, polite and in my own way Funny ( although this may of failed many times :)) )
    So NO MORE Craig Flogging for me at AJB007, I'll just stick to The Majority thinking, as that's always better than thinking for One's self. :))

    Some of it is out and out resentment and pique that the guy is Bond, which spills out into everything he is associated with.Personally I prefer to neither deify him or persecute him my own feelings about him as Bond are mixed, in as much as I like a lot but not all that he brings. When hiis tenure is over I won't be celebrating or mourning. Whatever your feelings about him it's hopefully non-controversial to assert that he comes across as rude and arrogant, and to me much to much concerned with trying to appear as an Alpha male, hard as nails tough guy. Some of the negativity is fueled by his public persona and an adverse reaction to it.

    I think Craig comes off better in a live interview (at least the ones I've seen) than in print. The F bombs in print do jump out and put a certain attitude to things whether they were meant that way or not. I'm from a pretty rough workingclass neighborhood in Philadelphia and I don't see the tough guy thing. Maybe he's compensating for the too short, too blond stuff. Who knows, actors are generally a pretty wacky, insecure lot. I think he's a decent actor and I like him as Bond. Truth be told, there are alot of very good actors in alot of very bad movies. As I have said before, I just want a real good Bond film next year. Ok, you all may resume the DC slagging........

    See, stick around long enough TP and you do switch over to the Blonde side.... :v :))

    Seems like C&A has mixed reviews....but I can't help but think that this is supposed to be a popcorn action flick... and not the next 'serious' movie.... take it for what it is... pure entertainment :D (If not somewhat far fetched...)

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Ah, It's been a Funny sort of Day. :D
    I think from what I've read. That the problem with C&A is that it sounds Loke a popcorn movie but It is infact played like a straight western only with Aliens instead of indians ( not politicaly correct term, I know ) with very little humor.
    Where given the title I'd expect a Will Smith type Movie with plenty of wise cracks and action.
    Then again with many things I might of been reading the wrong Reviews. I doubt that I'll see it as the two genres just don't seem to match up IMHO. :))
    But you never know, Now that I've left the Dark Side. :v

    Thunderpussy you almost made me spit out my dinner from laughing when I read your " blessed " Quote Keep up the good work, the world needs more laughs in it -{ -{ -{
  • HowardBHowardB USAPosts: 2,755MI6 Agent
    I've seen C&A and Thunderpussy's guess is actually correct, the film really tries to play it straight. IMO it actually works better as a western than a sci-fi film. IMO they could of had a little more fun with the townsfolk reactions to these aliens (who have no idea of what they are as the concept of "aliens from another planet" is about 75 years in the future). However, it's actually not bad at all as summer films go. Ironically, given the millions spent on the film's special effects, the best scenes for me were Craig beating up some bad guys; well filmed with no jerky camera or jumpy editing (EON please note this).

    "Too short, too blond... and not enough Bond"

    They could put that on the poster.

    And have the villain say over dinner, "Tell me Mister Bond, do you find the use of profanity really compensatese for having no looks...?" -{

    Originally Cobwebs and Ailments was devised as a more fun, wacky film.

    Anyway, on the same subject here's a very odd picture.

    http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23977661-daniel-craig-and-harrison-ford-team-up-at-cowboys-and-aliens-premiere.do

    I mean, we all accept Craig is none too tall. But here we see Ford is the same height or less. Has he shrunk? Was Indiana J always, in fact, Short Round? Not so much Hans Solo, as Hans So-Low?

    Join us again, when we play The Weakest Link... :D

    Looking at Craig's Shoes, they do seem very thick, Much thicker than Ford's ,Beyond a Cuban Heel. Once again Craig is ahead of the crowd when it comes to male Fashion. (He is after all an Icon, for the Ultimate Male, rather like Myself :D ). Platforms will be in Next year and they're great For Bond as you can hide all sorts of things in there. -{ I'll order mine as soon as Possible, mabey dig out the Old Flares. :))
    Thought I'd save some the trouble of looking it up,
    Ford, 6'' 1'
    Craig 5'' 10'

    Well if my Dad is anything to go by... you shrink as you get older. Bless my father, but he was 6'4 in his youth, and now, he's not much taller than me... (6'1) so a good 2 -3 inches shorter.

    Ford must be in his late 60's now... and I thought Craig was 5'11....(and yes, boys, I'm afraid to say, that 1" can make all the difference ;) ) so that would put them at about the same height.

    Olivia Wilde is 5'7... and no doubt in 4" heels.... so it would all match up.

    ...oh crickey, am I defending Craig again ;% ... ooops, sorry.... perhaps I need punishing... ;) :))

    Bless Lexi.Quite possibly the only person in the world who still believes that DC is 5th 11. The consensus seems to be 'a weak 5th 10 in shoes, and a smidgen over 5th 9 barefoot .

    Really? Ah well, makes no differnce when your horizontal ;% :))

    I guess being so tall, I like to imagine my man being so.... however, luckily height is not the statistic that matters... ;)

    Being an Alpha Male, and Just in from One of my regular swinging groovey parties, Just putting my Medalion and Chest wig away, when I noticed this thread. The reason Craig is so Tall all of a sudden is, Because he's in Love and floating on air. While Ford is shrinking as he's a method actor who really gets in to a roll, Making himself appear shorter. He's apparently doing the Life of ( wait for it.... ) Daniel Craig :))
    Oh to bring a smile to just one Face, Even if it's Only ny Own. and my work is Done. :D

    While I enjoy Craig as Bond ( I mean he's NO Sean Connery ) if anybody truly believes Craig is 5 11" I have a whole bunch of prime swamp land for sale. I am 6 3" and if I had to guess I would say his true height is in the Tom Cruise 5 7 " range give or take an inch. B-) B-) B-)
  • HowardBHowardB USAPosts: 2,755MI6 Agent
    The incredible shrinking Daniel Craig. I'm thinking more like 5'3" or 5'2". I wonder if his feet are CGI'ed to appear normal as they are really very large and hairy. Ah, what they can do in movies these days......
