About a month or so ago, some kind of rockety type thing was spotted off the US Coast.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of it? It was reported, and then it kind of went quiet.

I was hoping this was about the girl who was killed after buy pizzas at Tesco and, when they discovered the body, no one had a clue where the pizzas were. Last I heard, they'd arressted her landlord.

No idea about this rocket business.

Landlord wasn't guilty, but they have now nicked and charged the next door neighbour, who is due in court.

And enduring the much more important Trial by Tabloid.

Oh well indeed.

You see, being a forward thinking liberal Country, Britain has shifted from the meagre 'innocent until proven guilty to 'innocent until wildly speculated guilty by the gutter press'

Which has the added bonus of being completely public!

Well that settles the matter then.

Basically, they arrested the creepy loner first, but it turns out HE didn't do it. Now they've arrested 'foreign bloke, talks funny'.

My bet is that they'll arrest the butler next. Seriously, this is turning into an episode of fething Scooby Doo!


Except, y'know, they found her body in a ditch instead of a Haunted Amusement Arcade/Spooky Rollerdisco.

Had this discussion with my guild on WoW; never have I poked so much fun at murder case

Mr Mystery, it was just an aeroplane contrail. A recent photo of a rocket trail in a nearby area was shown for comparison but there are still loads of nuts who believe it was something else. Planespotters said it was a flight contrail and I am not going to doubt people with that sort of passion.

Looked like a weather balloon to me.

Indeed

Thats what they want you to think. Anyoen else noticed the sudden number of black vehicles driving around with tinted windows playing hip hop? You think thats really a coincidence?

I have 6 brown Cadillacs lined up on the opposite side of my house. It's quite scary, we're all pretty sure that it's a government or Mafia thing.

Exactly.

WATCH THE SKIES!

Well how else can the Daily Fail keep middle england housewives paranoid and stupid? Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe that you are never more than 3.5" from a Rastapaedorapistmurdererdrugpusherpimpmuslim with Swine Flu, so I'm going to board up my windows and await instructions from the Daily Fail on how to get back that England that never really existed.

Didn't we already vote in the Conservatives? I thought that was what they wanted.

Depends who you read. I suspect some of their 'writes' won't rest until they dug up Genghis Khan and crossbred him with Thatcher and Hitler to create the ultimate selfish rightwing nightmare.

The thing which really appealed to my dark sense of humour was that the day the Daily Fail showed, on page 7 pictures of the reconstruction of Jo Yeates last moments, in Tesco buying a pizza. However on the faceing page (6) was a quater page advert for Pizza Express pizzas at Tesco, half price. Now that is either a very sinister sence of humour or spectacularly bad editing. Either way I laughed pretty hard.

Which is ironic considered that this is in Bristol where just about everyone talks funny

It seems KC had the same idea as I did.

It's gonna be Roswell all over again. ( I keed )

I wish something like Roswell would happen near where I live. I have this sweet ass idea for a restaurant/bed& breakfast.

Dammit! Totally missed that it happened in Bristol. I could have tried to frame Justin Lee Cockface for the crime. Arsecakes!

Yes, I hate that un-funny, talentless oaf with a burning passion.

OH no, not the Rastapaedorapistmurdererdrugpusherpimpmuslims with swine flu, hang on, 3.5", thats inside my house! They've found me, Help they're sucking all the benifits out of me!!! my national pride is melting!

Careful he doesn't get inside you.

You know, I'm actually starting to worry. I've never seen a Rastapaedorapistmurdererdrugpusherpimpmuslims with swine flu.....and yet, you know what they say about TFG in gaming circles....

Perhaps my pasty complexion is just a ruse to get close to the children I have no interest whatsoever in to sell the substances I strongly disapprove of and have no idea where to obtain, with a disease unlikely to effect me.... I mean, you can't trust anyone these days. Yet having never seen a Rastapaedorapistmurdererdrugpusherpimpmuslims with swine flu, surely I must be Rastapaedorapistmurdererdrugpusherpimpmuslims with swine flu, hiding in the one place I'd never think to look....myself

I shall write to the Daily Fail. Clearly, I must be stopped. Right now. If not sooner. Hangings not good enough for me you know.
