Does anyone know how Hercule Grype is as he hasn't posted for awhile so I hope he's alright.

I've been wondering this too. Is anyone in contact with Hercules outside the forum? Has he been taking part in that Fantasy Football thing for instance?

No answers? This page is dying on its feet, I can remember when it buzzed on so many issues now its just arguments about politics and death notices. We need to get a grip and get it going again but sadly I sense that there is no real appetite for that.

Rumour is, he has emigrated to Nepal where he intends to see out his remaining days working as a peanut farmer

He has changed his name to Abigail Raspberry

He's probably pissed off with all the daily bombardment of leftist drivel.
It's incessant and barely anything else is posted.
Who would want to post their genuine opinion when they are likely to be shouted down by the mob and ridiculed and name called.
It's toxic in this forum - so bad, the boss had to step in.

😁 Has there been a sillier question asked on here, I ask myself? ðŸĪŠðŸ™‚

I agree its gone to bits and the blame is on both sides, this page has gone from ' I read the news' to 'I interpret the news' And as such is a double fronted rabbit hole. I come for the comedy and often leave empty handed.

Herc rarely posted on this thread.
So to blame his absence on 'lefties' is ludicrous.
But he's not posted anywhere since Dec 26 last year.
So, has no-one heard from him?
No-one slightly worried?
Would prefer an answer to the question than another 'dig' about politics.

Same here he is a pain in the arse at times but I hope he's ok.

Oh the irony of Tories up in arms over someone not following parliamentary procedure!

Pot, kettle, black much?

A bit of good news.
Europol have taken down one of the largest cross-channel smuggling gangs.
19 arrests and a huge amount of infrastructure disrupted.
This is what co-operative policing looks like.
Thankfully after years of dopey ant-EU rhetoric, UK and EU forces are due to sign a deal to share real-time data.
A positive step - hopefully the first of many.

Smash the gangs

Its not rocket science

Or spend millions flying people to a shit hole country

Idiocy?

"Or is it back to square one with Labour."

Yes please!!

I hoped this might answer the question, but let me elucidate - Herc has famously (still) never missed a game on either BCG football leagues, while some of us have missed loads, especially on the mad Super 6. So unless he's found a way of playing beyond the grave, I should presume he's okay. Which is good. 🙂

Ta Alfred , comedy and humanity should go hand in hand so I'm glad he's ok.

After hearing some of the speech given by Liz Truss in America the other day (sharing a stage with MAGA retards saying the January 6th assault on the capital was brilliant and is just the beginning, with God's help) - it's pretty clear to all now, she is certifiably insane

She must be

Nobody normal can possibly be that f**king stupid

She needs sectioning 🚑
