    I've no idea what he saw in her

    Or her in him :D Is he standing in a hole btw? Potentially the biggest UK divorce settlement ever.

     

    Probably not actually....

     

    Word has it that Bernie has been putting all his cash into a holding company called SLEC.

     

    Guess whos company it is... (i'll give you a clue. 'SL' is the first two letters of their first name and 'EC' is the first two letters of their surname.

     

    She's got all the cash! ;)

    You'd think with all that moolah, she could afford a Wonderbra. :aye:

  2. Nothing to suggest he's been offered the chance to break even tbh.

     

     

    A lad at work has sold his house this week - he had to take about 20% less than he originally wanted due to market conditions. That's how the world is - the fat cunt should wake up sharpish and fuck off.

     

    SURVEYORS REPORT FOR NE1 4ST;

    This one-time fortress is in need of major re-structuring work.

    Cosmetic additions cannot hide crumbling foundations, the result of at least a decade of neglect.

    Potential buyers will need to invest heavily in re-developement,from ground up.

    This project will appeal only to serious developers, not cockney fuckwits.

  3. Tangent Time....

    Anyone read Underworld by Graham Hancock? He has a theory that relatively advanced (Ancient Egypt level of advancement for e.g.)societies existed previous to the last Ice Age, the physical traces of which were submerged by the melt water.

    Good read that covers alot more than I can post here, answers alot of "land Mysteries"

     

     

    OMG I had forgotten the old Atlantis theories- I used to love all of that stuff. I used to love arguing that it was true with people to wind them up (foptastic) and ended up believing it myself. my personal favourite theory being the Antarctica once having been Atlantis and for Hapgood's Earth Crustal Shift hypothesis

    You got me there... :D

    Never heard that one

     

    treat yourself - its a great read

     

    Fingerprints of the Gods - Graham Hancock

     

    Review

    Poking about through an assortment of grand earthly mysteries, Hancock (The Sign and the Seal, 1992) cobbles together a fascinating theory that proposes a lost civilization lying behind the conundrums. Why is it that the ruins of central America appear to show such a profound knowledge of spherical trigonometry millennia before that branch of mathematics was to find currency in the West? How is it that the great temples in Peru and Egypt show a clear understanding of the precession of the equinoxes way prior to its "discovery" by Hipparchus? All of these ancient monuments depict bearded Caucasian men in their sculpture. Pourquoi? Drawing on an amazing wealth of materials - from a close reading of mythology to geological texts, from archaeo-astronomy to rarefied mathematics - Hancock devises a theory that posits a highly evolved civilization that was wiped clear off the face of the earth during the cataclysmic happenings that attended the retreat of the last ice sheet. A resulting massive crustal displacement in turn might have buried the evidence of this advanced culture, leaving only a few survivors to pass on their knowledge to succeeding generations. Egyptian, Olmec, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations all speak of men - Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, the bearded men - who brought great wisdom into their midst (though why they didn't pass along the principle of the wheel to the Maya is an equal mystery). Where did these learned men come from? Hancock has evidence to suggest Antarctica, explained via a combination of crust movement and the odd fact that the topography of Queen Maud Land appears on a map dated 1513, when it was - and had for millennia been - under ice. He also has evidence that the next apocalypse may be just around the corner. A fancy piece of historical sleuthing - breathless, but intriguing and entertaining and sturdy enough to give a long pause for thought. (Kirkus Reviews)

    You got a beard Fop?

     

     

    Yes.... yes I do.

    Fingerprints of the Gods - Graham Hancock

    Cheers, read that way back,iirc.

    What I liked about Underworld was that he avoided the "myths and gods" approach, and came at the same theory from an evidence based approach.Made a ,let's be honest,wild theory sound very credible.

    The section about the Hypogeum in Malta, and the level of society needed to produce such a thing , was the thing that hooked me :D

  7. I like the Theory put forward by the Red Dwarf team.

    Remind me....

    They travelled through time and knocked Oswald out of the window, the future that then transpired was of nuclear terror and mafia control, the America that developed was nothing like the one that the crew knew to have existed, so they travelled through time and space again, breaking Kennedy out of police custody, told him of the inevitable future, took him to the grassy knoll and gave him a gun and got him to shoot himself. He then disappeared without a trace.

     

     

    ... there's probably a better way of explaining that... ;)

    Sounds about as rational as most JFK theories tbh :D:aye:

  9. My favourite JFK theory was when the viz implicated 'The King' aka Elvis by placing him at the grassy knoll at the time of the assasination. You probably had to have read it like.

    :D:aye:;)

    Many people did report a smell of fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches from that area

  10. Aye, at all points when the shots start, Depository was behind and to the right of the car.

    I've always thought there had to be multiple shooters, and as you say, the last shot seems to come from in front of JFK.

    Given some of the more "leftfield" theories, this one seems fairly plausible to me.

    Multiple eye witnesses reported a smell of gunpowder from the vehicle. If all the shots came from Oswald in the Depository, they wouldn't smell it by the car.

  11. Quantum of Solice

     

    good honest action flick but Bond is not seeming like Bond these days. Firstly there were no gadgets (which meant no dialogue with Q), no car (he had an Aston at the start but that was in the pre-credits bit only). Hes also lost the quickfire witty comments that Bond is famous for.

     

    I like Daniel Craig as an actor and as a Bond but somehow I think the writers are trying to make him too realistic and part of the fun of JB (imo) was the fact you'd watch it thinking "aye reet, course you just did that, its obvious that you would jump off a 10 storey building without looking landing on the tail of a plane with your magnetic underpants".

    Are they posh Fanny Magnets? :D

  12. I'm fully prepared to believe there are aliens mooching about this planet, I'm quite sure there are life forms dotted about the universe. I don't believe they crashed in Roswell, I don't believe there's a mass government conspiracy and I don't believe Jim-Bob gets abducted and a probe shoved up his arse. There are much better ways to get information about a creature than buggering it... autopsy for one.

     

    I'm sure if the little green men had sufficiently mastered a method of interstellar travel they'd have no reason to abduct a creature as ill-evolved as an American.

    :D:aye:;)

  13. Going to sleep me, I hope something interesting has happened by the time i wake up.

    So nothing good happened.

    Not getting hammered 5-0 and coming home with a point..... pretty good at the moment.

    Well done the Lads, Given earned several post match Guiness imo

  14. Good interview...could he be throwing his name into the hat?

     

    I wonder just how good he'd be alongside BigAl but i doubt he would leave SKY now after all these years

     

    Great guy though

    Sorry mate, he makes my skin crawl whenever i see him :aye:

     

    Shirley, i can't be the only one to have him down as a 'Blart'

     

    That mite be the dermititus mate...

     

     

    Each to there own fella, i quite like the bloke.

    that's a bit of a rash comment :D
