Richey Edwards Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 He really needs change his name. Ever time I glance at BBC news, I keep seeing the "die" part of his name and thinking he's dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I see some week old twitter account with 3 followers threatening JKR is somehow a far bigger story than Rushdie actually being near-murdered in public 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Most of my knowledge of this comes from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Rushdie was great in that. Telling Larry about the Fatwa Sex had me in stitches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be his defence, so shite at stabbing that it couldn't be attempted murder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was probably a guy called Mohammed who was a leader of a faction or tribe out of Arabia. There’s little evidence supporting lots of the things he’s supposed to have done. Like many contemporary religious stories there’s probably a blend of real events and complete fantasy. Eg St Columba probably did go to visit the King of the Picts but probably didn’t encounter the Loch Ness monster. ”James Bond” was a real historical person. There’s little supporting evidence of him fighting a man with metal teeth in the middle of a laser battle in a space station. I do accept that there’s more reliable evidence for Mohammed and his military adventures than there is for Jesus and his seditious magic tricks. Or more fitting to this forum would be Ryan Jack. Whilst he's very clearly a professional footballer as we can all see, I seriously doubt he was ever a CIA analyst and former US marine. Eta: for complete avoidance of doubt, yes, I know it's a different name. Edited August 14, 2022 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
