I conspired to remain sober at a recent family wedding.
Unfortunately I fell some considerable way short of my goal and ended up being quite severly beaten by Mrs Oaf when she discovered me having a slash in the wardrobe at 2.30 in the morning.
I hope this helps

I think we do all enjoy a good conspiracy theory. It's good to be suspicious of what you hear and read.
9/11: I think the terrorists were just very, very lucky that their plan, for the most part, came off. However, the one that didn't make its target, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to have been shot down.
JFK: A conspiracy by definition. By JFK's movements, and by the police officers' testimony I believe it wasn't a lone gunman, but who knows how far the plan went?
Elvis: He's definitely dead. I know because he used to work renting out deck chairs on the beach here, and he told me.

Good thread Hazell. I tend to believe that **** happens and people should get the **** over it
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I think that conspiracy theories are unavoidable. I also think that they can be immensely funny. The Diana coverage in the Express is hilarious.

Very true
There's Ivan's obsession with that 9/11 video which shows that building collapsing as wellRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

its not that we enjoy conspiracy.. its just that we want it, and we want a reason for everything.. we never want to believe things can be that simple.. there is always something about it, that is hidden.. not told to us..
for newspapers yeah its just to sell, for us its somethin interesting to read and then wonder wat the truth is.. without it we cant be satisfied..:bounce: Go Mikko :bounce: Go Petter :bounce:
