Thanks for the mention Your Grace. And my thanks to Josh, who willingly reworked the 'toon to my requirements after a python knockabout email exchange.

Romani Ite Domum indeed!

O/T

Gorgeous George reckons "pot calling the kettle black" is a heightened form of argument...

Guardian: The need to protect the internet from 'astroturfing' grows ever more urgent

Reds under the bed... this is to explain why people are disagreeing with them... can't be any other reason can it?

Human astroturfers can then be assigned these "pre-aged" accounts to create a back story, suggesting that they've been busy linking and retweeting for months. No one would suspect that they came onto the scene for the first time a moment ago, for the sole purpose of attacking an article on climate science or arguing against new controls on salt in junk food.

Obviously BH's absence recently has been due top him meeting his controller.

O/T sorry... but in relation to that article, if you want to see paranoia and delusion in action read the comments... had me laughing and only at comment 70 or so...

You have to begin to think that when it gets to that stage, the "enemy" is on the run...

Was the Roman’s name, Manus, an error for Manius or Magnus or deliberate? Manus means “power” or “band of men” or even “hand-to-hand fighting” as well as “hand”, and would be an appropriate, though very rare, name for a soldier.

O/T too...

... meanwhile the 'Reds' (in China, not the Gaurdianistas) are exposing scientific fraud and acting on it!

perhaps they can set an example for the next UK whitewash committee.

Shouldn't there be grape vines growing up the south face of the wall?

[Anoneumouse]

Manus = hand

Man n us = Team

or slight of hand

[Deadman]

Anoneumouse, Mann ’n’ friends use sleight of hand, praestigiae, to hide the decline rather than a slight hand, manus exigua, I think.

O/T - guys, I have just booked tickets for George's left hook next Friday. Suggestions for questions?? :o)

[tallbloke]

Deadman:

Manus was deliberate, but a little oblique. Manus = hands = Hans (Von Storch)

A bit like word assciation, football, boots, the chemist.

I've finally been outed
