A few reasons why cops didn't immediately shoot down London Gatwick airport drone menace

Fire Crews

Don't airports have a standing fire service? What's the range of their hoses?

Meat pies in SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Famine relief

Brilliant method of reducing famine in far away countries without having to actually get there. Take frozen pies into space, and have them self-cook on re-entry so they're ready-to-eat when they arrive. I wonder if someone out there could work out the optimum altitude for appropriate reheat? I wonder if Comic Relief could make this a reality?

Not sure how to solve the landing problem, though. More a splat-down than splashdown.

Lester Haines: RIP

Bastard

I hate you. What's the big idea, going and dying on us like that? Ruddy selfish, that's what I call it. Who's going to be so wonderfully politically incorrect now to raise smiles amongst the downtrodden masses out here? You were a joyous sparkle amongst the sea of bland grey. Uncontroversial bilge will be ever more expansive without your withering eye to report upon it and make us think.

May your colleagues aspire to your dizzy heights, and may El Reg never bend to dogma of the day.

I'll effing miss you, you brilliant bastard.
