Things I learned from watching The Italian Job


- After you have dumped your recently deceased villains car down a cliff, make sure you step on his sunglasses
- If you want an alibi for the person who has been looking after your car for 2 years (while you've been in prison) say that you've been to India shooting tigers (with a machine gun).

- Throwing a bicycle into an electrical facility can cause the whole of Turin to have a power-cut
- Charlie knows how to spell 'big'
- If you come face to face with a mafia boss in the Alps, threaten his fellow people in England and he will drive away (and his gang will magically disappear)
- When your girlfriend is hitting you, a big teddy bear is a good defence weapon
- If you want to try and get a brainy professor to join your plan, tempt him with big girls
- According to Mr Bridger, a lavatory is a sacred place to some Englishman
