'Spider Girl' gang held in Chile
By Jane Chambers
BBC News, Santiago
Police have arrested two members of one of Chile's most notorious gangs, known as the Spider Girls. The all-girl gang of teenagers were infamous for climbing up buildings in Santiago to burgle luxury apartments. In a spate of high-profile robberies in 2005, they made off with thousands of pounds worth of jewellery. Their arrests have sparked off a debate about the country's judicial system as juveniles, under the age of 18, receive lower sentences.
Lurking in the gardens of expensive parts of Santiago, the four girls hurled ropes and hooks up to balcony railings, hauled themselves up and walked through the flat windows. They then walked out of the buildings as if they were visitors.
The gang members were arrested last year but three of them were sent to reform school rather than prison because of their age. They vowed to change their ways but after being released, one Spider Girl, Yasna, returned to her old tricks, recruiting a new member, Marcielle. Despite both being heavily pregnant, they still managed to climb up to...

You're so right my dear. He'd love nothing more than for all this to fall apart. And he calls himself a man of god. He's the devil as far as I'm concerned and he won't be going to heaven when he dies. His arse will be burning just like the guy who shoved the fireworks up his arse in hell. He's a lot of blood on his hands.

He really is a wonderful guy. He came down to my town almost every Christmas holiday because some of his in-laws live in town. So you could see him out and about here at the holidays. It will be weird not to think of him being here or on the big screen.

sorry for not posting sooner had issues with ISP
basically 8 ball (of which they are various rules) is 7 balls of one group usually reds or spots and 7 balls of another group usually yellows or stripes and a black ball which is the eighth and final ball you pot to win the game after potting all of the balls in your group first.
9 ball is different you don't have groups but 9 ball numbered 1 to 9 and you pot the ball in order with the 9 ball being last you can however pot any ball on the table as long as you hit the lowest valued ball first so it is possible to pot the 9 ball from the break and win the game in one shot this is called a golden break and I have only ever done it twice the first time being my first ever shot at nine ball which was not my first game cos my mate did a golden break while i was still getting my cue out of my case.
