The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Managed to watch Star Wars Attack Of The Clones for the first time. It was good enough, although a bit silly having Yoda shuffling along with a walking stick yet giving it Bruce Lee big style fighting Christopher Lee with the light sabres.

Watching all the Great Train Robbery stuff however was brill. Did they really believe that Otto Skorzeny was the real mastermind behind it? What a hoot! It's remarkable how round about everyone else connected with the robbery ended up making far more money out of it than the robbers themselves, & after all his time on the run, Biggs ended up serving the same sentence he'd have got on appeal anyway.

I really didn't like that Tommy Butler, the way he expected his men to work every hour of the day on the case while he went off screwing his bit on the site, & tore up their overtime sheets behind their backs.

There was also a good one about the Curse of the Pharoahs on, although I was disappointed not to see an old aquaintance of mine, Professor Mark Nelson, involved, as he was the one that bust the whole story many years back in an article he'd written for fun & it went "viral" back in the days before "viral" was invented by such things as Twitter.
