Hi

Just read back over all the posts and see I have accused Mooksta of being unstable and irrational. Sorry Mooksta I was rooting for you to come back. What I meant was his postings were unstable and irrational from some viewpoints rather than meaning Mooksta personally but I can see how that must have read.

Now on the subject of Janet Airlines. Im not a pilot and dont travel on the airlines except for cheap holidays and then Im not looking at airline badges. Janet Airways is not a commercially listed airline as such Badger. Dig deep and you will find its aircraft are goverment owned. Im not all that interested in the paranormal really and if you asked most staff connected with Air Travel if they had ever even heard of Janet Airways the answer would be a resounding no. Try booking a flight on them when your next in your travel agent and watch the look on the staffs faces.

Sorry if I upset anyone particularly you Badger but debate does give cause for further debate. I was only expressing my views at the time.

Can we not discuss the plight of the baked beans instead?

Anna (Stick with Derek), Pents (better still cum to the gig), and Easy (You bean lover you!).
I harbour no ill feeling or upset about what you posted. None what so ever. I think we all know where my ill feelings are being directed.
This is a public forum and we're discussing a story. How anyone can be upset by a critique of a character in a story is quite beyond me. But as I say, it's a public forum, post what you want!

And talking about ...beyond.

Mikey's quiet tonight/today ain't he.
(Why this silence is almost incriminating!!!!)

I have a theory. Here it is. A writer knocks up his draft. Drafts are always badly written with little care and attention given to grammar and finish. All writers work in this way when they start a new book. Lots of info on this on the internet. He needs to get the basic story checked out for interest levels.

What does he do? He gets loads of people to check it out on the net and correct him along the way and give him ideas. To make sure its popular
he just announces that hes dead. Brilliant.

Everyone reads it, loves it, and follows the story adding all the ideas and twists and providing all the internet links for the reasearch of the writers book. Like Stephen being right on the dredging issue or the clothes that were mentioned. I think Stephen is the greatest contributor on this forum. The author should give Stephen a free copy and take him out for a slap up meal. He then makes sure he gets this right in the actual book. All thanks to hundreds of followers helping him out.

So far so good.He then gets stuck for the next part. So an obliging company print his ebook along with an ISBN number and copyright is assured in the writers name on the first part. Now his next part of the book ( many writers try different variations and endings on readers before a book is published and write their books in parts). Our Michael then launches off with another idea. Could the basic plot of turning from ghosts to aliens actually work? Lets give it a whirl he says and then off with the 11th plain. This time not so good. People dont like it as much and its not the same anymore.

No problem, thats a good lesson learned and its not going to be the ending of the book after all. People are starting to get shitty with him anyway and So he skips forums and carries on somewhere else with the other ideas and endings and makes sure he gets it right.

Once version 2 or 3 has been received well he then bows out and goes off to re write the whole thing professionally and thoughtfully and drops in the odd changes and creative genius that is needed prior to it going to the publisher. Meanwhile, the unpaid labour force on the forums have had a good time, made new friends and are left wondering what it is all about.

Michael, can those that are interested have cost price copies when its finished properly please????

If I can have a cost price copy and my name in lights all is forgiven

May the sea serpents worship you

Good to see Mooks back - thanks for that admin.

I know it may be difficult to moderate this kind of forum but you have to admit it has been a great success.

Just waiting around now to see if MP comes back and continues to post. icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh well - suppose we should all go to bed at some time.

Night all.

It's been a while since our Michael has made an appearance, I think I may have a ouija session and try to make contact.

Anyway, as it seems it is theory time again, I will issue some of mine along with some related thoughts of subjects that have been covered...

- I will predict that not long after Michael's last postings that Robert's site will spring up, as it would get more of our attention at that time.

- Jasper Carrott will suddenly make himself known on the forums in the not too distant future and proclaim 'haha, fooled ya, it was me all along!' - and just think of all the comedy routines he could have got inspiration for from the ramblings of us lot on this board? A great coup for the brummie area in my opinion.

- On the subject of 'BEAN MYTHOLOGY'... 'Heinz' have been conning us for years now and there is not just 57 varieties of their products, there are much more which I have proof of, they have special ultra secret buildings like area 51 in which they have been creating these varieties.

The reason it became secret was that their 58th variety was a varient of a bean which mutated due to an accident when a new sauce was added to it, as a result this bean was able to communicate with people. (Do you not find it strange that 5 + 8 equals 13? and where do you suppose the notion that the number 13 was unlucky derived from?).

In the above case I would quite literally say it is 'food for thought'.

This information was to be released but the bean showed evil tendancies and so the whole project was hushed up.

Oh and while on the subject of the quirkiness of numbers, how about this... 'Birmingham' has 10 letters and comprises the numbers 1 and 0, which as you should know is the two constituent parts that make up binary - and is a large part of the communication that takes place with Michaels friends.

More astoundingly, 'Michael' has 7 letters in it, but more interestingly:

'SEVEN' rhymes with 'HEAVEN',
'HEAVEN' begins with the letter 'H',
... and so does 'HOLOCAUST'!

So, should this be a warning?

I find it amazing what hidden messages you can unearth if you look deep enough ('Bible Code' anyone?).

I will give more information later, you will be astounded but for now I am off to massacre more of the evil beans buddies by squashing them between a few slices of toast!

So there you go Michael, get out of that one if you can!

"Current bid: £510.00" - Better hurry, only 3.5 days left to bid!

No doubt the MH readers will be up in arms about this and are enraged that Sam is treated and mocked in such a manner.

It cannot be worse timing either, because MH are due to hold yet another live MH this coming weekend, so what will poor Derek do? who will be his spirit guide now? does anybody know of spirits that are just knocking around the house and feeling bored and wouldn't mind loaning it/her/him to Derek to tide him over for the event?

Oh trust me there are a lot of unhappy bunnies on the MH forum - people suggesting MH should sue!

Personally if someone wants to pay 510 for an old JamJar then thats their business...

Now as for haunted bean cans icon_wink.gif

So that explains their huge site at Wigan. - I always suspected they did more than just can things there. The close proximity of the ICI Rubrite works and the "secret" munitions factory (supposedly decomissioned but if so why does it need huge big razor wire fences) may not be a co-incidence. Could we be looking at some sort of covert bean operation here?

Very interesting theory and one that actually makes sense. Rather than asking his friends to review it he gets a lot more people doing it this way.

I have only contributed a bit and between us all I think we know a lot more about birmingham the Janet aircraft, computer history and so on than we did before we came on this forum.

Hi Stephen

I think youve contributed quite a lot Stephen and very valid and valuable information for a writer. Im sure this is a draft and the more I look at all the posts and the references to everyone being part of the story the more I think this is the case and the more it makes sense. The original story line is very good and with work and adaptation of the draft this would be brilliant.

Then there are all the links and information. This is a fantastic way to test a book and make sure the content is right before launch. As for people getting upset about it thats just human nature I guess but pointless and totally unnecessary. For one Ive enjoyed reading through it all and Im sure other writers would be interested to write pyschology books based on the content and peoples reactions. This has been mentioned before.

What have we lost? Nothing at all. If anything many have gained quite a few friends as a result. If my theory is right and Ill keep an eye out on Amazon, then what a brilliant way to test new material. This would be a very valid reason for the whole thing and if its true I think its clever.
By doing things this way you could have the time it takes to research and develop a new book.

Ive given up trying to find other sites relating to this as he will just use a different name and the adaptations of his story will probably change so we will only find out if someone else twigs it and reports it here.

Now I really like ghost sceptics bean theory. They could be the Elohim tribe and we could be being fed alien implants through our beans on toast. Let this be a warning for bean eaters. The communications issued under the flatulance dialogue could be secret messages being passed around by bean spirits. Of course this is a story and a theory so please dont take it seriously not that anyone would.

I have a suspicion that Michael will give up the ghost and not post again because if it was me I would definately take vacation leave. I dont think he has abandoned us but more like we have abandoned him with our comments and confirmation that we liked the first part but not the second.

Of course I could be completely wrong and if Michael contacts me with an open word document on my PC then I will eat my words and forever be committed to the cause. As thats not going to happen I better get on with some work before I lose all credibility at the office and fall behind on my schedule.

Power to the beans. Long live the revolution. They are coming and they are covered in tomato sauce and hiding in cans. You have been warned.

Hi Easyjetter,

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this were the work of an author, as groundwork for a book, and has been mentioned a few times. However, in the original thread there were some strong indications that there was a game involved, or at the very least, a small group of people 'in on the act' (Spanglo to name but one). So I'm trying to keep my mind open to other suggestions too, and I'm hoping for confirmation from Michael himself as to the true nature of his 'story'. Fingers crossed icon_smile.gif.

Like you, if Michael would like to confirm to me that this is all in fact true by leaving me a message in Word then I won't complain......!

Just Me x

Mike?
Is this one of those new "Finish It Yourself" Stories???
($29.99 + postage and packing)

Here's an idea. We'll give him to Monday morning, if he don't post we can all take a stab at the final chapter.

Hey, if it is a story that we've helped to write we have every right to finish it?
