Gary Glitters Trial Begins

[mikey4444]

At last ! This seems to have been going on for years already.

[Postdog]

Apparently he arrived at court singing hello hello, I'm back again....

[Gromit]

These historical cases are very difficult to prove. He is not going to do a Stuart Hall and confess all. Without hearing any evidence, I doubt they will get a conviction.

No link and I seem to have lost to track. What's he accused of now?

Thanks Talbot.

Do we have to see this creature discussed on AB, particularly as the OP does not ask a question?

[DTCwordfan]

So, no surprise, all the world knows that Gary Glitter likes to have sex with underage girls.

Then we learn that he doesn't like having his picture in the papers, and is always insisting that everyone join his gang.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think he's the reincarnation of the Prophet Mohammed?

[hc4361]

Yes, we do, sir.prize.

[sir.prize]

DTC - do you mean Islamic Prophet Muhammad

[DTCwordfan]

Different spellings, sir p.

Wilkipedia: Alternative spelling Mohamad, Mohamed, Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhamad, Muhamed, Muhamet, Muhammed, Muhammet, Mahammud

0/10 for effort DTC

[DTCwordfan]

Oh, I prefer 10/0, that does take effort.

[sir.prize]

My Wikipedia says differently: Muḥammad (c. 570 – 8 June 632[1]), full name Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim

nothing alternative there

[sir.prize]

DTC - that was really funny. You tried 10 variations of the spelling and didn't get it right!

[DTCwordfan]

Personally I prefer the name in its Arabic form, no doubt then.

[DTCwordfan]

for the record, ابو القاسم محمد ابن عبد الله ابن عبد المطلب ابن هاشم

[sir.prize]

Great back down DTC.

[ummmm]

Really? Within 7 answers the thread is derailed.

[DTCwordfan]

Well I am surprised that the verdict hasn't already been reached on here, Ummmm.

I was actually enjoying the grammar cockfight.

I'm just waiting for mikey to come and tell them off for going off topic.
