BS: The Robbery that never took place

From: GUEST,milk monitor

Can any of our friends in the UK cast any light on the news that the biggest Bank Robbery in the United Kingdom's history never actually took place ?

Read in an editorial over the weekend that the robbery in the Northern Banking Center was actually a request/demand made by the Irish Provisional terrorist group to the British government to pay their top brass off and get them on board for the peace programme.

The British government said they could never leave a paper trail for such a deal, but agreed to this demand.

The Northern Banking Center was in the final stages in a take over deal by the Danish Bank, Danske and agreed to accept a deposit made by the British equivalent of the CIA.

The Irish bank in Belfast where the heist took place never held that amount of cash in it's entire history, something around $50 million.


The journalist added, his source told him "It was a small price to pay for peace".

The police never caught the gang who carried out the raid.

Apologies to Joel Veith, et al... :-)

All has a fruit memory there on our road,

It run of a Greek with calms and holds to him of good things, to eat,

You should hear but to speak,


If you ask it, it to him answer of it ' no ' him ' 쳌E

ITS ' with the death and him your paste never take precisely, if it declares you;


We do not have bananas which we do not have of bananas,


We Sawbones as bunions

Kohl-plants have today and bulbs and all the types of fruit and legends,

Have an old improved tomato pleasant

Jersey a potato,

But we do not have bananas

Us not bananas have today

Foolestroupe and Mr. Happy, I'm confused as all hell!

What in the world does this incomprehensible gabble about bananas or other fruit have to do with the (non)robbery?

Whose editorial? Sources? Any particular security service here (MI5)? Sounds like fiction to me.

I 'think' Mr. Happy has run "Yes, We Have No Bananas" thru some sort of translation device...why? *shrug*

Foolestroupe has some notion that he can shed light on issues with obscure references...sometimes I can even figure out the point he is trying to make. Since I am kinda old & slow, it's running about18.732%.

Just a LTTLE though.

I find this Thread could have been started by Walter Mitty, he frequently appears on this Site.

I have no clue as to what Mr Happy is raving on about! But I do believe that he has become obsessed with endlessly running well known songs thru multiple incompatible language to language translators. Such a sad way for such a brillant mind like his to end up!

But seriously folks... I have discovered that Mr Veitch through his artistic musical creations has been able to shed more illumination on most 'conspiracy theories' than most other sources.

I submit for you the simple explanation by Mr Veitch on this subject hereunder. It has been submited here before, but the wisdom of his enlightment has been misunderstood: apparently it is beyond the grasp of most minds lesser than he and his eager disciple, myself.

We like the moon!

cause it is close to us

We like the moo-oo-oo-oo-n

But not as much as a spoon

Cause that's more use for eating soup



And a fork is not very useful for that

unless it has got many vegetables

and then you might be better off with a

chopstick - unlike the moon!



it is up in the sky

it's up there very high

but not as high as maybe

dirigibles or zeppelins or lightbulbs!

and maybe clouds - and puffins also

I think maybe they go quite high too

Maybe not as high as the moon

cause the moon is very high



We like the moon

The moon is very useful everyone

Everybody like the moon

because it light up the sky at night

and it lovely

and it make the tide go and we like it



but not as much as cheese

we really like cheese we like zeppelins

we really like them

and we like kelp and we like moose

and we like deer and we like marmots

and we like all the fluffy animals



We really like the moon!

To fully appreciate this, you must first acquire the correct mind-state. I suggest repeating the song about 500 times. It may help you to acquire the original tune penned by Mr Veitch and his cohorts to assit you to a-tune your mind to the correct wavelength from the sattelites - which I am reliably informed, have been hacked. I have been listening to this song several times a day for several months now, and I can assure you that my thinking processes have been considerably modified - as you can no doubt tell. Sadly, I now live alone, so luckily I have more time to spread my enlightment amongst you all. I am not afraid to expose myself before you all, I see no need to log in as an anonymous GUEST to harrangue you all with mindless nonsense.

Unfortunality Mr Veitch is unable to respond to enquiries right now, but his keepers friends assure me that he gets out any day now - until he pens his next mind bending verse.

If you are really desperate, and not just so from the words themselves, you may search for the catchy tune involved, it is in a flash file containing animations complete with many other enlightments such as "I bought the wrong bananas", "Sumo Florist", "Zoology Dragon", etc, that will also prove most enlightening.



I'm not making this up you know!

I tried googling on "Northern Banking Center" and "robbery" and all I could find was this thread.
However, This site states that ten people have been arrested, and three charged in relation to the robbery

Comments by Foolstroupe & Mr Happy seem as reasonable as the original post!

HA! That flushed out one of the anonymous nutter Trolls...

Just because someone is an accomplished anything (w*nker even?), doesn't mean that anyone else should follow them blindly... and I speak from experience1...



1 ... experience of what, I will not elucidate....
