Well found :) Yep, that last Gawker clip is the one I saw.

At the risk of sounding like one of those who swears blind they've seen THAT Thunderbird photograph, I'm positive I found clips of this online a year or so ago... :?

Got mine yesterday. Like what I've read, so far. I would have made more of the "Cumberland Spaceman" mystery apparently being solved, though :?

But isn't the ultimate aim of capitalism to establish a private monopoly, run for the benefit of a few, as opposed to socialism, which seeks to establish a public monopoly for the benefit of all?

Done, thanks :wink:

I'm sure someone has previously matched the "Freddie/Freddy Jackson ghost" face with another from the photograph and, yep, it turned out to be one of the people in the photo having a larf.

'The Monkey's Paw' was also filmed as the 'Wish You Were Here' segment of Tales From the Crypt.

I was going to recommend Sunbird, but it appears that's been discontinued in favour of Thunderbird and Lightning* *Very, very frightening me...

Yes, but it's a general thread, rather than dealing specifically with cases such as the Gibbons and the Chaplins. In the absence of a dedicated thread, I suppose this one will do for now :wink:

Why? Google doesn't create these sites, nor does it host them. All it does it perform searches for terms entered into it. I'll bet most sites hosting images of sexual abuse aren't in the "visible" web anyway.

I really have to disagree with you here. Hillsborough was known to be a dangerous ground. The F.A. knew Hillsborough didn't have a valid safety certificate. While it was known that LFC would be bringing the greater number of supporters, the F.A. still allocated them the end of the ground...

Done, ta :wink:

Well, I think there's some stuff worth reading in it... Strange News:- The Missing Lynx Desert Highland Discs Science: Tetrachromats TED: Ideas Worth Suppressing? Saved by Monkeys Necrolog: James Herbert; Prince Roy of Sealand Diana's Damned Dresses The Fortean Times Random Dictionary of...

Done, ta :wink:

Morrissey also had a song by the same title. EDIT: No, he didn't. I'm conflating his Spring-Heeled Jim and Jack the Ripper tracks...

I thought this story rang a bell... Merged with the original topic.

The Giant Google Crab was a manufactured artefact, like the rest of the images in the feature, wasn't it?

Has anyone else's copy got a slightly skew-whiff cover? :?

Something which, from the beginning of this thread, I've said of course also applies to Savile.

I don't know if it's the one I remember, but it'll certainly do! :D

I genuinely can't find it :? I've a feeling it wasn't in 'Chat' and so shouldn't have fallen victim to an auto-purge.

We used to have a thread on just that very subject - don't ask me where it is, though... :?

I've never seen them anywhere to buy... :?

Richard Kuklinski claimed to have offed him: Did Iceman accept mob contract on union boss?

Most of those are in 'IHTM', though, which means they are separate, personal recollections, while the others are distinct enough not to warrant merging.

I've just had a look, but couldn't find anything :?

Thanks, James. I've exterminated them.

Good point. I think we may need a specific 'Operation Yewtree' thread.

There's an appalling error in this issue's Phenomenomix: Chas Hodges playing banjo and Dave Peacock playing piano - really?

*Says nowt* :?

No, they shouldn't be merged. Necrolog is supposed to be devoted to Fortean personalities, while 'RIP' is more general, but there's bound to be an occasional overlap, such as in this case.

Careful now. While Michael Barrymore suffered the misfortune of someone drowning in their swimming pool (as did the actor Art Malik shortly after, I recall), it's clear that he had nothing to do with the death, despite what the subsequent media witch-hunt would have you believe.

I've read that falling from a height above 20 feet will usually prove fatal, even if you land on your feet.

Please be careful. Stuart Hall wasn't arrested as part of Operation Yewtree.

Less of the ad homs, please - both of you.

I've removed the post regarding the latest arrest connected to Operation Yewtree as the identity of the person concerned has yet to be confirmed by a verifiable source as that of the person mentioned.

There's only one thread: the other was moved and merged.

Hmmm. The different spellings of 'paedo' make me suspect all is not as it seems with this story...

I doubt he'll succeed. Tweeting that McAlpine was the subject of the Newsnight exposé is not the same as tweeting McAlpine is a p**d*ph*l*: any defendant would surely have the defence that what they tweeted regarding the programme was demonstrably true.

RTTT...

FFS :roll: If Jimmy Saville 'created his shows' in order to abuse children, he would have come up with Minipops, wouldn't he?

If you have a means of downloading video from your browser cache, you'll find that both YouTube and Veoh stream in mp4 while DailyMotion still only offers flv. Not that any of you would dream of doing anything with that information, of course... :wink:

It won't get shown either way, will it? If Newsnight had definite proof, they would surely have given it to the police and so wouldn't be able to air the claims in case it jeopardised any investigation; if they haven't definite proof, they won't be able to run the story for fear of being sued...

I notice the 'Hexam Heads' article is correctly attributed this month :wink:

Danny Suhr, a NYFD firefighter, was hit and killed by someone who jumped from the WTC during the September 11th attacks: -

Thanks for posting that, James. For me, the caravan anecdote is far more damning than the one printed in the Times (why didn't they see it?), but what does Savile mean when he writes 'girls'? Does he mean 'girls' in the modern sense (ie, under-16), or 'girls' in the bad-old sexist sense (ie...

Sorry to bang-on about this, but you're quoting the article, not the actual autobiography. If what Savile wrote was so damning, why not reproduce the appropriate section in full?
