Glad we got that cleared up then !!!
I miss you ….. oh sorry – there you are :lol: :lol: :lol:
The bit that amuses me most out of all this is when the lunatic fringe emerges from where they have been lurking and start giving interviews to the Daily Mail (and other such tabloid rags for the semi-literate).
You can almost guarantee that whtever the ‘disaster’ there will always be at least one (if not several) who swear blind that it was “aliens” or “UFO’s” that did it.
They will surely be followed by an army of conspiracy theorists. I’m just waiting for the tree-hugging fraternity to blame it on “Global Warming”.
I expect that the streets of London are being combed for it as we speak (or type!).
I feel sorry for her protection officer who is dountless being unmercifully mocked by the entire Met.

You might want to rephrase that a bit blackkettle – particularly the reference to “Poli’s box”. :lol: :lol: :lol:

So it wasn’t you that broke the wind turbine then eh Cherry???
So on the one hand we have a perfectly rational and believable explanation from Bas (metal fatigue) …… and on the other hand we have allegations of UFO’s; mysterious balls of light; and space creatures with long tentacles from a bunch of half mad Daily Mail readers.
I wonder which version the conspiracy theorists would go for eh???
(What do you mean “half mad” Daily Mail readers – they’re ALL mad as hatters …..Ed)
Don’t you just love this sort of thing??? It brings out all the raving loonies, who are always lurking in the background, just waiting for any excuse to air their ludicrous conspiracy theories.
“UFO expert Russ Kellett said: ‘We are very, very excited about this.”
Yeah I’ll bet he is. Can’t wait to convene another meeting of Lunatics International and present his ‘findings’ (Government conspiracy; Area 50 something or other; invaders from outer space; the end of the world is nigh;etc etc)
“However, another possible explantion could be that the cold weather caused the blade to shear. Fraser McLachlan, chief executive of GCube, which insures more than 25,000 wind turbines worldwide, said that although it is unusual, this type of incident happens about five or six times a year.”
Well THAT’S no fun is it. Far better to believe in a worldwide conspiracy theory, supported by half pissed locals seeing flashing lights in the sky; and weird looking little old ladies taking photos of tentacle ridden space monsters.
‘It does happen that a blade will sometimes just come off a machine for one reason or another,” he said. “The main reason is the blade may shear. ‘We don’t normally see things like UFOs hitting them. It’s usually a mechanical failure that causes the blade to separate from the main hub.’
Yeah … right … BORINGGGG !!!! Of course it was an UFO, full of little green chaps, carrying out a survey of deepest rural England to prepare for the invasion …..that is coming to a cinema near you.
The fact that they can navigate across outer space to get here and then bump into a bloody great propellor because they apparently didn’t see it – is totally beside the point !!!
…. and the best bit is that, as she left the car unlocked (with the keys inside it) the Theft cover on her motor insurance policy is negated.
Oh dear oh dear …. Daddy will be cross !!!
What’s the betting that her next car will be a crappy old Volvo – nobody would want to steal one of those.

Hiyaaaaaaaaaaa
I aquired 2 rats on Xmas Eve
Would it make sense to call in Rentokil, or even your Local Authority pest control department, to rid your home of rats??? After all it can’t be terribly encouraging for visitors to see rats scurrying around all over the place can it?
