For me it’s a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it’s quite an interesting one rather than “stupid”. Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the “art”. Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?

Isn’t there a conspiracy theory that everything on show at the British Museum is a replica anyway and that the real artifacts are carefully stored elsewhere?

It’s great. I’ve been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

Do you think I could get away with some serious financial crime if I just quoted the Psalms and declared I was a repentant sinner? I’d be happy to pray for any of my potential victims if that helps.

You might be in with a chance… of higher water bills. Just for your friends, of course.

I’m also not rich to start with and didn’t go to public school either. I guess I just need to learn my place and celebrate the achievements of others.

Just heard Tice on LBC being questioned about all the lying and he used being a Christian as a defence. Everyone sins, he told Tom Swarbrick.

Anyone able to give me career advice about how to become a Thames Water executive? Doesn’t look hard to do and you keep getting bonuses!

I struggled to understand his Brexit stance - a bit like Mick Lynch. Something about EU membership preventing future nationalisation.

I’m more interested in his other international views… though I should really just look it up.

Which ones? Genuinely interested.

You’ll forgive me but that’s not evidence of a “crank” (unless “crank” simply refers to anyone who doesn’t share your views). You made the assertion that Murray’s “been many many times more discredited than proven correct”. As I said, I’m happy to have my opinion of Murray changed but you’ve not provided any evidence other than a Wikipedia page which doesn’t seem to show he was “discredited” in the way you think it does. He has some opinions which many people don’t share (Salisbury and Starmer come to mind) but, generally, he appears to me to have stood up for some righteous causes (Assange, Palestine, the influence of oligarchs on Brtitish politicians).

Can you give evidence for your “crank” assertion and that he’s been discredited? I’ve followed Murray over the last 5 or so years and I’ve not noticed misinformation. He’s pretty much on the other side of things than mainstream political opinion but usually what he asserts tends to be the case. But happy to corrected and informed by evidence.

Keep searching Youtube. It’s been put up and taken down a couple if times already. It’ll be put back up again.

Why settle for coherent when you can make it complicated and unintelligible? Private Eye is saying that the show’s been put on hiatus for at least 3 years - so plenty of time to reverse the polarity on the complexity inhibitors.

Or - worse - Italian Brainrot creatures!

Agree. I’ve found the spinning TARDIS flying through space silly and cartoonish. Why would it do that when it could materialise closer?

Yes. Regard it all a bit like the Valeyard: ghostly future echoes of what could have been. The more appealing stuff can always be reintroduced afresh. If you don’t like Eight - I could be convinced with Seven. I’d be happy with a pre-Rose Nine as well.

(I’m increasingly an advocate of (re)introducing the Faction, if Miles would allow it, who have been there all the time messing with time, causing temporal collapse - from which emerges new timelines which simultaneously embrace and reject everything before. And behind that a greater War in Heaven which makes the Time War look like a scuffle in a playground.)

Needs a firebreak. Then return to its pre-2005 roots. Bobby Ewing its way out of the TARDIS shower.

Edit: Changed Bony to Bobby (though I love Bony Ewing as a Dallas character that never was).

Spank that tank!

Snore. Just woken up?
