    Yes, quite impossible. Imagine, for example, a group of lads learning to fly an aeroplane. breaking into the flight deck and flying those aeroplanes into New York skyscrapers. Abolsutely absurd, no? Nothing like that could possibly happen!

    Breaking in when there was no security as such on flights, I would imagine it would be a lot harder to do now. Bit like breaking in to a national monument 20 years ago would have been a lot easier than it is now

    What a lot of old bollócks. How much security is there around a cathedral, for Christ's sake?

    Last time I was there, I seem to remember the nearest thing to security was some bástard jewing money out of you at the door.

    Surely you remember the metal detectors, the scanners, the armed guards, the close-questioning, the racial profiling? Getting into Notre Dame with a book of matches is just as hard as entering the flight deck of a 787 carrying an AK47, you know.

    You don't need matches. They have loads of candles to light. But how are you going to get into the loft from a crowded hurch full of tourists where alll the front bit is fenced off? You can sit on a pew in front on the fence, or go down the sides where all the little nooks with saints and candles are. But you can't clamber over a fence, have a root round the back trying to find how you get up to the loft, get upstairs etc etc with no-one seeing.

    More planes full of tourists have been kidnapped in my lifetime than major, guarded cathedrals full of toursists have been toarched. Fact.

    There is no way someone queued up, went past security and got into the loft at 7pm. Not a chance.

    Why are you banging on and on about the loft? You know precisely fúck nothing about how or where the fire started. Three blurry pictures oin the BBC website do not make you a qualified fire investigator.

    You object to contributing to the upkeep of priceless buildings that you visit? My word. Who do you expect to pay for it? Johnny Taxpayer? CEO of Gucci?

    How about...ooooh, let's see...the Roman Catholic Church? They're not short of a bob or two - even with all the nonce money they've had to pay out.

    And where does Mother Church get her money? From catholic folk who attend mass.

    Why would you expect decent people to subsidise your sightseeing, you Godless heathen bástard?
