cos the flag was flapping in the breeze 
I heard her say this last night 
Wikipedia has a good article debunking the conspiracy theory! Or maybe they are part of the conspiracy 
She should know, space cadet.. 
Better not tell her about roswell then. Grin
I feel really sorry for the astronauts who landed on the moon. Biggest achievement of their lives and so many people don't believe it.

And they saw aliens if you believe that story.
She also said Hira would be more at home in BB India???? Geography must have clashed with deportment lessons.

Hira is a much nicer person than Bea.

Which is probably why bea has her in her sights as a target. Hira outclasses bea in every department.

Unbelievable, wasn't it?
She was trying to make a point about cultural differences, but then went and put her foot in it big time. She clearly has no understanding whatsoever of the Sub-Continent's cultural diversity...

Hira was "proper" friends with Noirin, and very pointedly spoke out against Bea's "Team Marcus" idea. So yes - I think Bea's found her next target. Trying to imply that Hira is "isolated" and a "fish out of water" in house are no-doubt just the opening shots...

I don't recall her saying that at all. Will have to rewatch!
I don't believe that the moon landing actually happened either, but that's a whole other thread.

It was kind of thirty minutes in....the best bit of it was, marcus then spun her hira observation completely around to shoot her previous thirty minute monologue to ribbons.
I would like to hear the conversation with the university thats been firing a laser at the moon for the last 39 years that it was only a Christmas party joke that got a bit out of hand.quote:Originally posted by Cheeky-Pixie:

It's always the bloody flag argument, isn't it?!

its not the firing, its the carefully placed reflectors that bounce it back to allow accurate measurements to be taken that would take some explaining
Erm that was the point I was makingquote:Originally posted by Big Brothers Big Scam:quote:Originally posted by CaptVimes:I would like to hear the conversation with the university thats been firing a laser at the moon for the last 39 years that it was only a Christmas party joke that got a bit out of hand.quote:Originally posted by Cheeky-Pixie:

there's a few on this forum who would agree with Bea.

I saw it but dont recall Bea mentioning India. I agree Marcus turned it round on her quite well, showing that an 'isolated' person could be more independent than one of the crowd! Personally I agree with him. i think people are far more questioning these days and less likely to blindly follow leaders! Although I share most of Bea's opinions about alienation and lack of community, one benefit of this is more independent thought , as marcus suggests!

Sadly, yes: at least partly.

yeah, sorry, i knew what you meant i was just rtrying to fill in the detail as to why that couldnt happen without the astronauts landing there to place them.

Concentrating on Bea: what annoys me about this is that she likes to think of herself as open-minded and a "free-thinker", but her comments last night (not just regarding the apollo missions) showed her to be narrow-minded and as much of a sheep as the people she'd no doubt criticize.quote:Originally posted by CaptVimes:I know but there are people who still think that roger the cabin boy and seaman sid were in captain pugwash.quote:Originally posted by jonono:

People like Bea think they are showing individuallity by not accepting the "official line", but because she clearly hasn't done any research and doesn't understand the science involved, her own views are only based on what some conspiracy theorist has written.
I believe the Moon landings were genuine: not because I want to believe, or because it's the "official line", but because I've studied the physics and researched it, and come to the conclusion that wealth of evidence is on the side of them being genuine.
Her argument that science fiction is responsible for the problems of today should go down very well with that HM who bases his image on that of a character in a science fiction comic book.

I agree. Well Said.

I heard Bea suggest that Hira would fit in better in BB India.
But I did agree with her point about Hira being independent from the group, as opposed to a vulnerable outcast, which negated Marcus' point.
Yes as I said in my earlier post the irony of this is not lost on mequote:Originally posted by Eugene's Lair:Concentrating on Bea: what annoys me about this is that she likes to think of herself as open-minded and a "free-thinker", but her comments last night (not just regarding the apollo missions) showed her to be narrow-minded and as much of a sheep as the people she'd no doubt criticize.quote:Originally posted by CaptVimes:I know but there are people who still think that roger the cabin boy and seaman sid were in captain pugwash.quote:Originally posted by jonono:
