It's a conspiracy...

On the way to the beach today, we caught a great segment on Jeremy Vine about the conspiracy theory that 9/11 was a US organized plot. The New World Order arranged for some US military missiles to be disguised as aeroplanes using holograms as cover and fired into the twin towers and the Pentagon. Previously strategically placed explosives enabled the destruction of the World Trade Center (sic), with it falling like a pack of cards in 8 seconds rather than the naturally calculated 30 seconds that it would have taken had it really been just a plane.

The members of this New World Order are the business leaders, mainly oil company and defence industry big-wigs, with some senior members of the military thrown in to enable the whole plot.

Just a few things they didn't manage to explain:
- the phone calls from the people on the planes/missiles to their loved ones
- the video footage showing actual planes flying into the buildings
- a few thousand (million?) eye witnesses
- the impossibility of keeping something like that quiet

Some people just don't have enough important things to do...

Hi Moose, glad to have you back.

I watched a film about that piece and I have to say there were a lot of pieces missing. I don't honestly think that the Whitehouse would think twice about sacrificing their own citizens (who aren't in "important positions" ) for the sake of their manipulation and control of the oil industry. I may just be a cynical cow but that's life. If anyone has read it I'd be interested to hear someone elses take on a book called "confessions of an economic hitman" by John Perkins.

Evening, Moose! Glad you had a good day at the beach .... where's the photos?!

I caught the tail end of the segment and Andrew filled me in on the stuff I missed. I can't believe that folk actually go as far as to pursue such ludicrous theories. It's very scary!

Hi Moose

Yes, I'm up with the pc on too...

Conspiracy theories my a£se. Someone wanted to blow a load of people up and cause the mazimum amount of destruction and publicity with the resources they had. FIN.

There are a lot of ill thought-out things that the good ole US of A have done, without going into the whole 'warmonger' thing, but I really, REALLY don't think for ONE minute that they could have organised 911.

As the lovely lyndyloo says, I don't think the Whitehouse would give a second thought about sacrificing their own citizens, and like her, I feel that this would only be done if it was ultimately going to be 'beneficial' to the USA and not necessarily just for sensationalismismisationalisation...if you could imagine Dubya a few years ago, he would probably have bombed Wales for coal...

So, good to have you back on board lovely Moose man!

je vous salutez

ps, MOOSE! I didn't get the chapters to my hotmail account either, not even in the Junk Mail file. I'll mail you again tomorrow, and maybe if you do it by return to both, they may get through...you can't possibly understand how anxious I am to read about the further adventures of Jean-Claude and the scullery maid...and they were just in the arbor.

pps Oh really, I 'ad no idea we were so close to the sea...

Susan S, I do hope you aren't still up and the poor babe, the fair Charis, is languishing on her own in her poor wee cotte...

...but if you are, cheers my lovely, and bottoms up with a delicious glass of vin plonk!

Hi Moose - glad you had a lovely day in Whitstabubble - it's a beautiful place and very, very expensive to live in these days - which is probably why I live about 30 miles from there!

If I'd known you were whistling past I'd have baked a low-fat, low-calorie cake!

The only bit of the JV show that I heard yesterday was the guy yelling about people from another level/planet - excellent!!!

Have a good day one and all - we're celebrating 'im indoors getting a new job yesterday so it's just going to have to be more of the bubbly stuff - oh well, someone's gotta do it!!!!

Not a Mother should obviously come and babysit for me tonight! Yes ... Charis WAS still up at 11pm .... yes, Charis WAS having a tantrum at 11pm .... yes, Daddy was trying to change Charis for bed at 11pm and making the usual meal of it, hence winding the girl up ..... yes Mummy was crabby at 11pm and wishing she'd opened that bottle of vino in the kitchen!

But thank you for thinking of me!
Have 15 minutes to get myself and Charis ready for Gaelic Mums&Tots - our first day today and I thought it started at 10.30am! Ooops!

Who's bringing lunch today? I'll bring the fruit and yogurts!

Hugles, Susan

jollygit said...

Susan S - I'm bringing the Pringles and Mini Cheddars (other crisp-type snacks are available) and a few bags of Iced Gems.

Sorry you had a bad night - invest in some screw-top bottles of wine; they're much quicker to open in an emergency/11pm tantrum situation!!!

Welcome back Moose! Glad you had a lovely day with your family yesterday.

The powers-that-be in America could not organise a p**s-up in a brewery - in 1980 I watched live on American TV the US military taking off in helicopters to free hostages (sorry, I've forgotten where) and at least 2 or 3 of the helicopters crashed just after take-off. The utter incompetence was breathtaking. (Apologies to anyone on this blog who have American relatives!).

Bear with me on this one. Last night I went to my sister's to watch Walk the Line. She went to see this last year when she was in Canada, looking after our brother who was dying from cancer. He died in August last year and she came home with the DVD of the movie. It's taken her all this time to think about watching it. So, we put it on, it's in black & white, but I thought well, it probably starts like this and then turns to colour - you know the way films do sometimes. No, 15 minutes later, I said to her, should this be in colour. To cut a very long story short, we swapped DVD players, checked the TV, checked the scart plugs (don't know what I'm talking about now!) and every other DVD in the house showed colour, but Walk the Line stayed in black & white! It played in colour upstairs, but not in the living room! Eventually, she was so spooked at thinking this was our brother saying something to us, we had to switch it off and, yes, had a very large glass of wine to get the nerves under control.

Am I talking complete nonsense, or could this have been John?!

Iced Gems purleeeeeeease... coloured cement atop a tooth-breakingly over-sweet watch battery. Iced Gems should be consigned to the same car crusher as Gingernuts. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

But, mini cheddars? Now you're talking. I have some brie warming and just a small amount of beluga, so a mini cheddar will do just right ta everso.

...and while we're on the subject of conspiracy, have you all signed this?

Susan S, I'm sorry to hear about Charis' paddy tantrum last night. 'twas me, and as you didn't reply, I had a glass for you... Hope the wee one is feeling better today, and you never know, you might get a nap in later!

Bye the bye, I've never had a garlic mum&tot, does it come with mash?

iced gems - Hazel i am so with you on that, even as a kid they made me retch. sorry jollygit! midget gems on the other hand......

Susan S, sorry to hear about your challenging night. you know even tantrums can be treated with a good dose of medised. It says so on the bottle "aids restful sleep" (for the mothers!)

i agree, that particularl conspiracy has to be rubbish, piss ups and breweries spring to mind. altho, i so wish the one about them filming the moon landing at area 51 was true. that would be funny!

Am working from home today, washing is on, i went back to bed for an hour after the man cub went to nursery and i have jeremy kyle on the telly. It is rotting my mind, but sometimes i just cant switch him off.

PS moose, hope you survived the interrogation with talent/confidence/determination in tact.

I've just had to 'listen again' to JV to hear for myself the conspiracy theory. As far as I can see the US is incapable of organising it's way out of a paper bag without completely b*llsing it up - how on earth would they organise a conspiracy of that size?

I'm glad Iced Gems are really unpopular - all the more for me! I love 'em - they remind me of visiting my granny as a kid when we were given them as a special treat. Life was a lot simpler then! I'll bring Jaffa Cakes, but only the orange ones - lime and blackcurrant jaffa cakes are abominations.

Get the kettle on.

only if it has marmite on it lyndyloo - let me check my cupboads, i dont mind bringing my own.

is that wrong?

Anonymous said...

anna, I have to say, once I had finished laughing hysterically at the duck joke (heard it before, but it's so much funnier to read it) I wondered what medised substance you were recommending to Susan S... I thought you had missed out a word... Then I thought to myself 'Oh you fool, it's Medi-Sed, NOT medised as in sanitised or caramelised. Beginning to think that finishing the whole bottle last night was not such a good idea after all...

But MALT LOAF my fave. Malt Loaf sandwich recipe. Cut loaf in half lengthways. Cut 1/2lb Anchor (other butters containing just that little bit of salt are available) in half lengthways. Insert Anchor (or preferred substitute) into space between two malt loaf halves. Et voila! Of course, you can change the quantities of butter should you desire.

ChrissieS - There is every possibility, and all probability. What might be in the bedroom?

I'll have a small slice of butter with my malt loaf - thanks. Not too much loaf though, I'm trying to stick to the healthy eating plan.

Iced Gems and dentist conspiracy - why didn't I think of that? I've paid the sadists hundreds of pounds over the years to fix my teeth and I could have avoided it all by declining granny's much appreciated rock hard sugar treats.

Morning all

Hope you are all well.

9/11. Whilst I don't come from the David Icke school of giant lizards and illuminati, I do think that there remains an awful lot of unanswered questions about what happened that day. The towers did seem to crumble into heap very easily and the hole in the Pentagon did seem a wee bit small for a jumbo jet. I've seen the moonlanding theories too and they seem fairly plausible, but my favourite of all are those surrounding JFK. I've been to Dealey Plaza, looked out of the window of the sixth floor (It wasn't me, it is a museum now) and studied the evidence that has been made public and I don't believe for a second that Oswald popped him off alone. He was simply the scapegoat (as opposed to a jillygoat). The favourites have to be the Mafia. The Kennedy's and Sinatra cheesed those guys off enough during the elections that Kennedy won for them to have him 'dealt with'.

Do you mind if I bring a few cheese and pickle sarnies?

Happy Friday

Ooh, I love Malt Loaf with or without butter, don't care - I just love Malt Loaf! But with MARMITE - blurgh!

A laydee blogger (can't remember who now) admitted some time ago to hating Marmite but loving Twiglets - you know who you are!! The thing is, I'm the same - I can shovel tons of Twiglets down me neck but cannot cope with Marmite from a jar - how pecooliar!

Anyways, I'm making myself really hungry now - leave some malt loaf for me pleeeeeeese?!

Does anyone remember Gypsy Creams? Ooooh my absolute favourites, but they disappeared overnight about 10 years ago, and I still miss them! I could bring some delicious Kirriemuir Gingerbread!

Matt, the whole story of JFK's assassination fascinates me. Of course we will never know the full story, but I agree Oswald was just the fallguy. I cannot watch the real footage of the shooting, it's just too horrendous!

Susan S, just to let you know, it does get better, believe me! When our daughter was wee, she just wouldn't sleep which used to stress us out completely. Also, she didn't eat much either (which I know you worry about this with Charis as well). Trust me, it does improve, but it takes time and you can't force anything, because that makes it worse. Hey Ho, not to worry, only another 14 years and you'll be at this stage -our daughter has her first real boyfriend coming round, and my husband puts the tv on mute every time he hears a floorboard creak upstairs!

Hi all

I will have to listen again to JV from yesterday. With anything of such magnitude you are always going to get conspiracy theories, some more believable than others, but I have to agree, that I don’t think the US could have organised this.

Iced Gems are fantastic, as is malt load and toasted sarnies. This may sound weird but a toasted cheese and peanut butter is great! I’m off for some hot cross buns if anyone wants some…

Creme eggs are gopping muck.

Thicker in centre or not, I cannot conceive (egg geddit?) how you can EVER consider putting one in your mouth, let alone eating it...

Sorry, they should have been added to my list of 'disliked with a venom' foods when I applied.

will the creme egg hater please show themselves. but be prepared for the wrath of my soon to be size 14's.

Creme Eggs are the past, present the future. They should be given to growing children and ageing grannies. they should be mushed down and fed to babies. stuffed in to (synthetic) bones and given to dogs. upheld as the finest contribution to british confectionary that man has ever known. celebrated as the saviours that they really are. They may be more damaging to our teath than the aforementioned iced gems, they may be a gloopy sugar filled dieticians nightmare, but by golly i love em.

well i will till march by which time i will have consumed so many i will in fact have gone off them totally and revert to the true turkish delight. fry's.

You alsways leave me smiling! Garlic, indeed! What Gaelic words would you like me to teach you today?! :) Oh, and I signed the petition!

Lyndyloo - I take it you brought the bread for lunch!? LOL

Anna - never thought of Medised!

Susan S, Bible Study with teenagers. If they are keen, a breeze, otherwise, I wish you all the luck in the world...hope the wee'n is feeling better now too! See you next week I spec x

ChrissieS,
in case you didn't see my earlier post, what might be in the bedroom? Have a think. There will be something however small, but I get the feeling you would have been more comfortable watching the film there. I don't think it'll be in colour for quite a while...lots of love honey, and keep shaking those beads!

ps MfR I used to only do thin scrape of marmite, now it is gradually getting thicker as I'm getting older...is it me?

TFI Friday!

If anyone is still around on a Friday evening - staying in is the new going out, and don't forget it - can I thank all of Moose's Mates (the only collective I could think of for us) for getting me through a bit of a sh*t week.

Bad luck Lyndyloo, keep slamming those requests in. In fact, I think we should petition for a bloggers ARF, now that the blog appears to be up and running again. Anyone notice Chris' comment about us returning next week 'happier'?

I feel really chilled out and at peace again. I think my equilibrium must have been out of balance this week as I seemed to plumb a few emotional depths for no apparent reasons.

Men. Huh.

Well, I've cracked a bottle open, hope you have too.

Moose. Hope you doing OK.

Huge peace & love

MfR

PS Going for gold. We all are.

Evening peeps...
My you've all had a busy day.
My day off has been great...a long lie in drinking coffee and chatting, brekkie and more chats, an hou's worth of shredding, a gym trip, quick supermarket dash and tea with the mooselets.

Now into my usual Friday night :-(

I will survive.

The book...
After much deliberation and discussion, a serious amount of the book will be restructured, rewritten, redrafted or deleted. I will not be sending any more chapters out at the moment.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused...I shall resend once it's perfect.
I can't offer any more explanation at the moment. I'm not down about it. But i do have to do some serious rethinking. I'm so full of new ideas on it, that my only problem is finding the time to do it all.

Glad you've had a good day Moose.

Remember. At some stage you have to publish and be damned.

But you'll know when the time is right.

Have a top, relaxing, enjoyable and lucky weekend.

MfR

Just seen Kevin Bacon on The Daily Show...he's implicated in the Iran arms scandal apparently!!!
It's a conspiracy...

evenin' all

I tried to post a couple of hours ago but I think I must have been having some technological problems my end (ahem).

A busy one this week for me guys, I'm sorry I haven't been able to contribute very much.

I know this sounds really silly, but I felt a bit sad that I hadn't been one of the ones that had helped you this week Matt. Am sober and not being needy....just thought it and so I thought I would say it.

Actually, I'm not so sure this sobriety at this hour is too good. Let's make amends : )

Hugs to you lovely people - because I can.

Oh yeah, just remembered what I tried to post a while back.

Conspiracies - nothing would surprise me, nothing.

In the old days a few months back, I used to lurk on the Radio 2 News and Current Affairs Message Board (Moose - how about that for conscientious use of capitals?), they used to have some great chats too. One of the threads was about the conspiracy theory to do with 9/11. If I remember rightly, the comments went on for weeks and weeks. The beeb got rid of that MB, and there was uproar (sorry, if you know this already)....the posters banged on about freedom of speech (or lack of it), beeb censorship (the comments were post-moderated), etc etc. The hard core posters have now defected to a site called 'jezzasexiles'!! Nice one.

Off to get some wine.

am not sure about the past tense of 'bang on'. 'Banged on' just didn't sound quite right. Serves me right for using 21st century transatlantic (sorry Littlest Hobo), estuarian, sarf londin slang

If I may call you that.

Your praise for my number 1 today made my week.

Thank you.

Good luck to your boys tomorrow.

Fulham v Reading final?

Bring it on!

Much love

A drunk and happy MfR.

PS Do it one louder.

Matt - thank you , thank you.

C'mon the boys - am allowing myself a football post ( as opposed to a goal post).......C'mon Fulham - I will be watching tomorrow and cheering : ) We'll be singing our hearts out at the Cottage.

As for today's Game - I think if we keep it tight and don't concede before kick-off, we stand a chance.

I won't be watching as I have my brother's surprise 40th bday dinner tonight!! - his best friend and business partner jokingly said to me 'Gabs, ditch your bruv, you got to watch the game'!!!! lol!!

Am nervous already.

Have a lovely day
