The Official Nonsense Thread

Seems legit!

[Ollie]

Very legitimate indeed.

I just walked into my room in the dark, somehow got lost, freaked, turned back, walked into the door, before managing to turn the light back on. xD
BTW my room is tiny and impossible to get lost in.

Best conspiracy theory EVER!

[Ollie]

Great find Minty, that truly is the best conspiracy theory ever!

[Caspin]

Arrrgh, can't watch video on this computer! Will have to wait till I get home. It looks most intriguing!

Later that day:

Ha! That is fantastic. Also I like the soundtrack.

I think I just freaked out my neighbours, though, as I couldn't resist shouting "noooooooooooooooooooooo!" about two minutes in when they announced who Luke's daddy is.

For anyone that ever wondered why so many football supporters despise Rangers (or The Rangers are they're known now).

0-0 at home in injury time against the worst team in Scottish professional football (whom they've already lost to & drawn 0-0 with earlier in the season), fans not looking happy as it is the God given right of "the master race" to win.

What does the club captain do? Runs straight into an opposition player & falls down to try & get a penalty for an "off the ball" incident in the penalty box!




The referee did nothing!

[Caspin]

Idiot referee is looking right at them as well! He can't say he didn't see the incident.

Shameful.

Lots of empty seats at that match isn't there?

And I'm sure I've harped on about this before, but contrast that Rangers 'man' and his spontaneous falling over with some of the hardy players in little local clubs and in women's football, where there's no money to be made but plenty of sportsmanship to be witnessed. Like Kelly Smith in the women's world cup 2011, staying on the pitch while England played France, with a ripped Achilles tendon, because they'd already made all their substitutions. She couldn't run so she just limped around getting in the way, presumably in terrible pain. OK we then lost in penalties but that's what we do isn't it. At least they all gave it their best effort while actually injured, instead of flopping around crying while pretending to be injured.

Oh my goodness, some school in Essex has banned its kitchen from serving triangle-shaped flapjacks to the kids, because during a food fight a boy got hit in the eye with one of these dangerous creations. The cooks have now been told that they can only serve square flapjacks.

Right. Because obviously if there is a danger of having your eye poked by a pointy snack, four corners are less of a risk than three?!

It gets even better with Rangers. Dunfermline Athletic look set to go bust. Their owner Gavin Masterton hasn't paid a tax bill (£134 000) & it seems has no intention of, so HMRC will be putting in a liquidation order. To stave it off, he'll put them into administration, whereupon everyone else that they owe money to (£9 million) is going to demand their cut. They will copy what Rangers did & become a "newco" - relegated to Division 3 for it, but free of any debts, & tough luck to all their creditors.

Where do Rangers come into this? Their former crooked owner Sir David Murray - the man whose dodgy financial deals ruined Rangers c/o unsecured properly loans from the Bank Of Scotland (which came from the direct approval of its managing director of the time - Gavin Masterton!) was a very good friend of Masterton, & there's long been allegations of collusion between the two: including Murray phoning Jimmy Calderwood to tell him he was going to be made Dunfermline manager many years ago instead of Masterton, & the notorious 2003 Scottish League Championship decider on the last day of the season, where Rangers needed a monster scoreline to win - they beat Dunfermline 6-1 away.

What made everyone so suspicious at the time was that Masterton had sent the entire Dunfermline squad for a training break in Spain or wherever for a week. They had to fly back to Edinburgh on the Saturday morning of the match & go to play the match, needless to say they all played like they were dog tired. Who sends players on a training break the week before the close season, & has them returning to play a match the same day?

There's rumours that if Dunfermline do go to the wall, some of their staff will start spilling the beans about Masterton's dodgy deals with the Ibrox cheats as they'll have nothing to lose. Could be about to get very messy again in Scottish football!

[Caspin]

Messy, but grimly fascinating by the sound of things.

Sometimes you seem like an encyclopedia, Minty. Mintipedia! Do you have a photographic memory?

I watched Dunfermline play once. It was over a decade ago and I can't recall the details of the match except that many players were injured and bleeding (why was that...?) but they didn't want to stop playing so they washed off the blood in a bucket of water and wound duct tape round their injuries and played on! They don't seem like the kind of guys who would keep quiet if something very dodgy has gone on.
