Who put the yellow pills in the Gordon's gin?

None of the above. It was actually David Icke.

See here: http://invisionfree.com/forums/thefall/ind...?showtopic=8366

BTW, does "I'm into CB" read as "I'm into Captain Beefheart"... was this a typical MES double meaning? :confused:

You know, I reckon I read stuff on this forum and then forget I've read it so that six months later I can post it again as an original idea... in the same way I always seem to be starting threads that other people have already thought of and which I had probably read (sub)consiously at some point...

There are 12 original ideas in the world. The rest are paste.

I made the very same point a couple of weeks ago. ;)

:lol:

This thread is going to turn out like that Monty Python episode about deja vu isn't it?

So is the reptillian TEP instructor beyond suspicion?

Surely the YOP (Youth Oppurtunities Programme?) & TEP (Training & Education Pragramme??) instructor are the same person.

The culprit is "none of the Above" as all these characters are people in the environments (or Backdrops) that the protagonist is sent to be the angency of the yellow drug. Of course, we don't know where this person sprang from or anythign about them, so we don't know the circumstances around his chronodelic* Mickey Finn.

It always reminds me of various PKD novels, such as "Now Wait For Last Yr"

* I just made that word up. I think it's cool. :lol:

It has to be the The Leicester YOP instructor.

Cause like I'm in Leicester, I spied the Backdrop CD for a fiver new in a CD shop today and right now am listening to the track Backdrop.

Because I don't have In a Hole as I'm poor, and I can't find it anywhere. Still, roll on the re-release!

Winston Churchill.


If John Cooper Clarke has two apples and does not turn up Y times, and the Fall have an apple each and are cancelling X of the time, what are the odds of my seeing both JCC and The Fall on a Thursday and should I take an apple?

YOP - that takes me back. I was part of this program in 1980 -- 25 quid for a 40-hour week if I remember correctly. Does it still exist? If so, how much would one get paid now?

I always read it to be the 5mg Diazepam, they're Yellow.

Mothers little helper and all that.

THey're useless, but if you want to know what happens if you combine them with alcohol, refer to my previous post.
