  1. 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... 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?

  3. 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
  4. 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"
  5. Many people did report a smell of fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches from that area
  6. 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.
  7. Heard a theory re. JFK that the final "head burst shot" came from the driver,using a pistol. This clip certainly shows the possibility it may have
  8. He must realise that the longer this limbo goes on, the less the club is worth? Should the worst happen( which is still a very real possibility) he won't have a hope of even getting a break even figure for us.
  9. 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
  10. Sorry mate, he makes my skin crawl whenever i see him 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
  11. Sorry mate, he makes my skin crawl whenever i see him Shirley, i can't be the only one to have him down as a 'Blart'
  12. ditto That's my new career as a spook buggered. guess I'm not cut out to be a vegetarian tart.
  13. So our Great(x20) Granda's were radgy basque rebels, ready to kick off at the slighest provocation.... Hmm....... sounds about right
  14. Heart says we'll scrape it. Head says we are deep in the doo-doo. Can't rely on 3 others being worse than us this season ,imo, as has been the case to often in the recent past.
  15. Nah, it's was all about sailing round the world and planting the flag wherever they landed and claiming it as their own. But lo and behold that any of the natives of these conquered lands want to come here. So no Roman,Vikings,Saxons, Normans etc.
  16. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire history of this country one of constant immigration and integration?
  17. Can't really compare the two. But I agree with the point I think you're making-Middle Class parents are so wrapped up in "keeping up" with the other parents, that often their children suffer. I know kids who's every minute out of school is taken up with 'activities', half of which they don't actually enjoy doing. Not that the parents would realise this as they are never with the child long enough to find out. Birthday parties are a feckin joke now- little to do with the child, everything to do with parents showing off. Bugger me, reading this back I should go and buy the Mail
  18. The only problemToonraider, is that sometime in the not too distant future, we may not have a club to speak of, certainly not one that Shearer would want to take on. I share your feelings of him coming and making a balls of it- would be a disaster,as i really do admire the bloke.
