The rumour mill.......
 

What's the best rumour you ever heard? Did it turn out to be true? Last night I was in my local bar (see thread on Barracuda pubs in Accy). Quite a few of the drinkers in there are journalists at News International, publishers of the Sun and located just across the road. There was a few other press people in last night, as well, and they are always good for a tale and last night was no exception because the story was just round the corner and was on the front page of this mornings' tabloids.
Well then, it would seem that the rumour flying about last night related to a 'tough-guy' actor married to one of the senior employees of NI....it would appear she found him in bed with someone else. But that someone was not a she. Naturally, this 'rumour' has so far not been reported in the press.

Should be therefore believe in these unscrupulous rumours, this idle gossip, this destroyer of reputations? Or do you think there is no smoke without fire, that there is basis in fact. What is your good rumour?

Believing rumours can be very dangerous!

About 20 years ago when I used to work in some of the pubs in Accrington I realised that someone was starting quite nasty and untrue rumours about me but I didn't have any proof who it was. Other people were starting to believe these nasty lies. So, along with a friend I started a story about me and waited until it got back to us - I knew instantly where it had come from and I was able to confront the person concerned. It stopped!

Rumours can be very dangerous. But i enjoy listening to them. I also usually make my own mind up on the Rumour, whether it is believable or not.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Without a good rumour were would some people be and the press for that matter. If its false then its amazing how many people and papers deny any knowledge and went with the crowd. If it ends up as being true they are all on the bandwagon its a bit like a game of chance.

That's news to me about Ross Kemp.:)

Most of the rumours that I've heard from the pink grape vine have turned out to be true, as I now know first hand.;)

I remember working on a lesbian farm/hotel when I was a student, and whispering down the phone to my Mum the names of some very well known names from Coranation Street who had stayed there.

I think the interesting bit here is that his screen partner, Macfadden also got whacked....I wonder why? A strange coincidence, eh? I never watch the rubbish, anyway.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

It was rather strange that his screen brother was assaulted by his female partner on the very same day Ross Kemp had his wife arrested for beating him up.

It gives a whole new meaning to the 'hard men of Walford', if the two incidents might be connected.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Wonder if it was more than on sreen brotherly love now there is a romour to think about.

Tealeaf you old woman.

You are like the Louella Parsons of Accy Web, you should have your own column.;)

Who..................?

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

She was the Queen of the Hollywood gossip columnists in it's hey day. The studios used to pay her off to stop her saying what she knew the stars were really up to, and with whom.

i think you lost him when you started talking about queens lol

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

I did once got into a lot of trouble after telling someone about a 'dalliance' with someone that the papers insist calling the most eligible bachelor in Britain.

He isn't Royal, but is connected to the Royal family. I have never opened my lips since.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

oooh you used the word "dalliance" - someone thought I'd made that one up!

Rumours can be dangerous. They can also be very funny sometimes. My late husband and I were once rumoured to have started our own religion and erected a Gospel Tent in Bullough Park! :D

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

:(Willow that sounded good, and I would have loved to believe that.:)

dally/dalliance-1/ to waste time with, to dawdle, 2/ to amuse oneself, to flirt.

My dalliance resulted in someone from the Royal protection squad telling me to hush my mouth. I thought this a bit rich, as the other person instigated our 'amusement' in my place of work, not me.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Rumours are perfectly harmless (unless there about you!) - I've never started one but consider it my duty to "pass on" the information to others!

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Anything juicy going around then?

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

I'm still spreading Tealeaf's tasty morsel that Ross Kemp was beaten up by his wife for being caught in bed with a ladyboy.


Ok, I know he originally said it was a man, not a ladyboy, but that's the beauty/danger of gossip, details like the truth get lost in the telling.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Prefer this version its more "gosiipie" for the steamie wifies.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

LOL at the 'steamie', you probably will have had to live in Scotland to get it.;)

So that's how they make Mateus Rose

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

the best rumour was the 2000 computer bug that was going to put every bank,and business out of joint..... that was a real damp squib

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

If we had lost money from or accounts through it we would not have got it back. If we had gaind the bank would have been all over us. Working in the computer industry gave me some laughs over it but it wont be the last bug to threaten.

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

I took a carrier bag out with me that night, thinking I'd be walking back home from the club I'd been to in Clapham, stuffing it full of all the money that was going to shoot out of the cash machines along the way.:(

Re: The rumour mill.......
 

Take it that this never happened and if it did youare denying it?
:eek:
