Damascus gas attack - who did it and how will the west spin it ?

At the risk of creating a temporary diversion, as I recall seeing something about a green clarinet ages ago and didn't trouble to ascertain its origins then, could you explain the colour now that you've raised it again? Thanks in advance.

I've never really understood what GG's on about there either, but to be honest that applies to about 80% of his posts anyway. Unless he means this:-

...I recall seeing something about a green clarinet ages ago...

Is it related to the pink oboe?

It most definitely is a tangent but I have to accept that it is usually your line of 'reasoning'.....such as it is. Throw in a random red herring, usually 'police brutality', Mendendez, Thatcher, anything at all, as if it makes any relevance to the topic in question.

Bizarre.

Skip the scoffing and in all decency, get the spelling of Mr de Menezes' name right.

As sure as anyone else can be as far as the majority of posts in this thread are concerned.

I'm sorry that the subtlety of my post passed you by but if you recall (what am I saying?) Mr Pee made mock of zoomy's 'apparently' in #335 so I was merely applying the same rigour

Let's not raise the spectre of Jeremy Thorpe, with the LibDem conference under way in Glasgow, they've got all the trouble they need just now :winkeye:

MrPee does seem unable to understand anything that his masters told him though
It's not a "pink oboe" because that's a euphemism for something that I wouldn't dream of calling our esteemed clarinetist !
