    He's a Liverpool supporter :emoticon-0165-muscl from South Carolina who originates from the UK (I think). You've probably bumped into him on the Prem matchday thread, as he usually confines his political thoughts to Liverpool board threads.

    Yeah, I remember all the batshit theories when Lennon was killed, particularly those linking it to the FBI/CIA because of all the hassle they'd given him under Nixon in the early 70s. Shades of the Billy Shears malarkey with McCartney. Occam's Razor is never the first thought in these tinfoils' heads.

    Thinking of changing it back soon. Is it a bit lame now, I suppose (if it wasn't all along). :biggrin:

    Thanks Ern. It was fact-checked, and I know that tweet is out there somewhere, but it's not in my bookmarks as I thought it was. Cba trawling back 3 months though... :emoticon-0138-think

    The tomato ketchup thing is a conceit, I've used it casually myself. For the vast majority of us it's meant to be ironic. It's online with Vance now admitting that he completely made up the Springfield cats and dogs nonsense as it's his job 'to make up stories'. For the record I'll state again - there is no way on God's green Earth that a man of Trump's narcissism and vanity would allow his wig to unravel in any plan.

    They won't publish the medical reports, but the most plausible theory of his light injury is that he wasn't directly hit on the ear by an intact bullet as that would have ripped his ear to shreds, even if it just nicked him. Far more like it was a bullet fragment from a deflected shot or shrapnel. That's not to dismiss this as not being an incredibly near miss though - it was.

    Yeah I think this one has been around for a while mate.

    I know they were banging on previously about wood burners, which I think is what that environmentally friendly guy @PISKIE uses. <laugh>

    They are also rushing through the Assisted Dying legislation, by next spring they should have all the empty properties they need to house all the illegals that were granted asylum

    Yeah not sure I agree with this assisted dying, something that would put me off voting for a party. Would need to give it a lot of thinking over.

    My daughter in 'Boro has a wood burner. Love it. I chopped down a few branches of a plum tree in my back garden that was getting far too big, chopped them into half-metre logs, then burned them last week when I was up there. Not sure at all if that's legal now, but they'll have to lock up three-quarters of the country as practically everyone I know is doing the same. And what about the logs you can (expensively) buy from Tesco, Aldi, and Home and Bargain? Are they illegal too?

    Ffs, my gas fire is an ornament now that I haven't used in a ****ing decade. I was thinking of getting a burner put in to save on not putting the central heating on. This is dogshit. :steam:

    The Tories were going to put it forward in this session of Parliament for debate and to make sure all the needed safeguards were in place

    Not sure what Starmer will do

    I wonder if this is a load of old bollocks, and you believe it because you are losing the plot?
