Crop-circle hoaxers are nothing but cereal killers.

I never understood how anyone with a positive IQ could ever be taken in by The Cottingley Fairies - the photos were so obviously fake. But there you go - you really can fool some of the people all of the time.

I haven't read all the posts here, but has anyone mentioned The Loch Ness Monster?

I have to recuse myself from ridiculing Nessie as a hoax, as my mother saw Chessie.

Although I boast no special prowess as a cricket player, I once played for the MCC. No, not that club... it was the Maryland Cricket Club. And when I went in to bat, I got bowled out on the first ball! To make it even worse, I was bowled out for a duck by an Irishman!

You qualify as a member of The Primary Club then. I didn't often open the batting (rightly so) but I was once clean bowled by the first ball of a match. Not a good experience.

What’s that?

It's my home-brewed kool-aid, Abby. It's what I think could have happened. A contemporary hypothesis about evolution and human creation. Long story short, I blv humans ate particular foods which unlocked sets of mysteries, at intervals along the natural timeline, and evolved our being.

Aleister Crowley took a lot of people in....double entendre not intended.

Good one, HS.

A few years back there was a real sign behind the bar in a Liverpool pub, which read:

No track suits after 6pm.

I'm going up there in a week or so, for some Beatles therapy, and will see if it's still there.

Love,

Indeed, clever...and a good reference website for those who are prone to be gullible.

By going to Liverpool Caz aren’t you at risk of being accused of attending a secret meeting of diary conspirators?

Liverpudlian conspirators = Wirral in this together

Lord have mersey, Gareth. That was a cruel and unusual pun-ishment.

HS, I've been accused of much worse in my time - much of it true.

Have a great weekend all.

Then of course there was Conan Doyle's favourite song - Fairy Cross The Mersey.
