I think it's well-established that that picture has been photoshopped

I remember that picure at the time and AFAIK theres was no talk of it being photoshopped initially

Yeah I'm pretty sure it wasn't a photoshop job either.

Don't think it was a photoshop either but I think it was a set up by some photogragper. No picture exists of the guys face as far as I know and any photogragpher worth their salt would have got that at least. The sign isn't blocking his face by accident. He's also facing a different direction than the other protesters.

Any there any other photo's or video images of the guy?

Maybe the photographer asked him for a photo, so he turned in his direction. However didn't want his face plastered all over the press, so covered his face with the sign.

PS Never heard anything about it being PhotoShopped either.

The idea of a protest is to highlight an issue and to be seen highlighting it. Not much of a protest if photogragphers need to ask for a photo.

Are there any other photo's or video clips?

You often see photographers asking people for a photo at protests.

I never believed that picture. Have you ever seen a real spide/kn**ker/protester sporting a white tracksuit jacket that clean? I rest my case m'lud.

This is all I could find of the Guy. He seems to have been there throughout right enough but I still find it hard to accept there isn't something dodgy about it.









He's seen marching in this clip too.

He was commentating on the Rugby from Croker.

Let that be the end of it

Myself and a mate (both leftys) managed to convince an English girl in Oz that all Irish people were left-handed. Kept it up for about 20mins and she believed us even though we were pissing ourselves laughing.

She even asked 'How come I know a girl in England that's left-handed then?' and I replied 'She must have an Irish grandparent or something.' She goes 'That makes so much sense now!'

I told her some bull about chromosomes and she looked amazed!!

Years ago I was working late with a lad and it started to rain. The lad I worked with said, would you look at the way the rain is falling on the windows it's leaving big long lines. I said to him, that's long rain. He said what's long rain?  I said it's to do with the height of the clouds. You can get long rain or short rain.  The higher the clouds the faster the rain drops hit the window, hence the long lines! Jesus he says, I never heard that before. Told him the truth about 5 years later. He tells me he has told that to loads of other people.

In uni we were living in a house in the hoylands. A friend who didn't live with us but spent most of his time in the house was cooking himself a bit to eat. Think it was chicken Kiev or something.
Anyway he proceeds to check the chicken, realises it's done so looks around him to get something to take the hot tray out of the oven. Our house being a typical student house didn't happen to have a drying cloth handy. So he then lifts a plastic Asda bag that was on the worktop and attempts to try that.

Next thing we know is that said person had burnt the hand of himself, spilt his dinner all over the floor and burnt half a plastic bag to the inside of the oven. One of the funniest things I ever saw, even got a mention at his wedding.

Took the woman and child to disneyland last year-While she was away getting ice cream, myself and the child spotted Donald Duck walking about, to the child's amazment!

When her mummy came back, the child shouted,

"Mummy, mummy we seen Donald Duck!"

to which she replied, totally serious-

"Really? was he dressed up an all?" ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

"No we seen the guy that usually wears the custume, but recognised him as Donald Duck immediately- Must have been the webbed feet!"
