Hi Mav,

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll depend on you guys to do an "intervention" if I ever get that way...

'Schoolboy gives Prime Minister a birthday hug'
or
'Homeless man attempts to murder the Prime Minister with a screwdriver'

??


LOL, case in point I guess. Media sensationalism

local rag has " PM has close call with homeless assailant" going on to tell of a middle aged man making a lunge at the PM with a screwdriver while out for a jog.
Never mentions kids, canoes or Johnnies B'day.
Same event, wildly differant spin, or a seperate event? Who knows.

Anyway, the rellevant bit of all of these stories is the fact the little bugger keeps getting away unscathed ;)



Just did a search and can find no other mention of any incident with the PM and a screwdriver apart from B'day hug from kid.

I'll retract all that, it appears the only encounter with a pissed of hobo the PM had was in the imagination of a local journo, cant' really see how they get away with that.

Sorry to partially hijack the thread but a couple of questions since I've been away:

1) I see from the thread that Beet got PNGed? What happened?
2) How can you guys tell what is a shades account and what is a genuine new user? IP logging or just style?

Thanks,

SEAGOON

I'd honestly like to know how you guys sniff out the shades too. for 5 years now I have been around here with only 2 accounts JB73 and this. changed because I stopped using 73 in-game.

I can still never tell who is who, and can not tell 1 posting style away from another. guess i don't pay attention to jack schmidt :confused:
