What's this week's hot rumour?

perhaps: "London double-decker bus found on moon - driven by Elvis?"

Do please spill the beans, Kpax and Sideshow Bob!

Sideshow Bob

I always thought a rumour network was for posting rumours one heard in the crewroom, obviously it is for slagging off people who post the rumours. Grow up Septic Peg.

Rumour:

Yes Bob, it is a rumour site after all - I agree, but it's interesting to note how many people post on here without even attempting to verify the facts, (yes, I know it's not a fact site..) and this then leads to even more wild speculation/bashing etc. which quite frankly is way wide of the mark. Just exactly what are the kipper and truckie fleets to do without these 2 projects going ahead, bearing in mind that there are contractual issues (penalty payments etc.) to be dealt with if we don't take delivery? Can't see MOD paying out for different platforms once those penalty clauses have been dealt with, can you?

Will try not to offend anyone reading this RUMOUR forum again, the rumour was found on the web just after the new German Chancellor was announced. Still why letr the truth get in the way of a good rumour. I suppose you could always stick to the SUN and the BBC cos they are always correct

Kpax:
Nothing personal, I was not trying to offend anyone, just attempting to point out that some rumours, posted in good faith by people like yourself invite further ill-informed comment from others. (Before anyone asks, I do not work for MoD either!)

Sideshow Bob

British Waste of Space maybe?
