Has anyone else been here? He’s absolutely serious. The Queen of England is our reptilian overlord. And he’s coming to Dallas in February! Polite comments only until this gets moved to the Pit. ---

I don’t think that this is exactly a rant, and it’s definitely not a general question. Off to MPSIMS. ---

Went there and had a look round and I only have this to say: **Oooooo-kay**. (Man, the titles of his articles are great though! Sorta like a cross between ‘Sequential Threads’ and ‘Weekly World News’ items…“Farewell to Canada” - “Tales of a Government Sex Slave” - “Scare-way to Heaven”…) Great, now I’m gonna be up until dawn wading through all this and laughing maniacally… ---

He he , at last we’ve manged to palm this nutter off onto somebody. David Icke was goalkeeper for a proffesional soccer team, Coventry City, and was pretty good too. He was given a few post game interviews and came across rather better than the average low iq, no personality player so he was recruited as a tv pundit where he did a fine job. He was in the frame for a high flying tv career but he suddenly had some strange conversion to some obscure religious sect which he fell out with and invented his own. He decided that he was the next messiah or something like that. Upshot is that he is currently camping somewhere out on the edge of reality Enjoy. ---

**casdave** , you left out the best part. For a long time after he left the “obscure religious sect,” David Icke was going around telling everyone he was Jesus Christ. Strange thing was that newspapers continued to write about him instead of just palming him off as a Grade-A flake. Two weeks ago there was an article about him in the _Independent on Sunday_. Allegedly 1,000 people came to a “conference” he held on his religious beliefs. Obviously there are more weird people in the UK than I realised. ---
