The Chat Room / Re: Lets write a Limerick, one...
Last post by Scrumpy - August 18, 2026, 04:11:40 PMWhere have all the poets gone ?
Am I alone- have I done something wrong?
I've tried to get the rhyming right
Make it funny- but try as I might
It gets muddled somewhere along

Last post by Scrumpy - August 18, 2026, 04:04:57 PMCut the hedge..
I cut one hedge just before heatwave.. That was 60 days ago.. The second hedge I cut this morning.. Temp 25.. humidity 75.. It was hard.. But being cloudy helped..
Chatted to many dogs and people passing by..
The first hedge needs trimming now..

Why John Moores decided to let it stand will probably never be made public, although it's quite easy to work out why beyond any reasonable doubt.
The general public would have shown little interest in his academic misdemeaners, what brought him down was the raft of utterly ludicrous, now debunked, events that he attributed to himself when he spoke about his life.
What he has achieved is creating an atmosphere where any future truly gifted black academic will be viewed with suspicion.

Sad he died so young, but I wonder why now ? all had been revealed, he'd been cleared by John Moore's of any wrongdoing too. I guess some people can take the flack and others can't.John Moores said his PhD still stands which is odd since there were a reported 186 instances of plagiarism in his thesis.

But he has given me one of the best laughs I've had in a long time.
We could possibly see an academic cap & dreadlocks being sold alongside the 'see u Jimmy' ones in joke shops. Lol.
