    Actually there was something on the news about 2 unidentified (suspected islamist) passengers. (seriously).

    I did hear that on the radio but I'm guessing it's the usual thing of somebody seeing a couple of Middle Eastern sounding names and putting two and two together and getting five.

    Slightly off topic has anyone ever noticed that nobody cares when people stereotype or make racial slurs about the French.

    Not a complaint BTW, c'est la vie :p

    Maybe its because arrogance is so endearing ? Actually I'd say its because they are predominantly white/christian and so = fair game.

    Interesting timing!

    They must have noticed the global downturn and loans crisis and are arriving to buy their holiday homes from the locals at a lower price! ;)

    It was originally based in Moyross but was deemed too violent for tv.

    The big announcement is that Aliens came to earth a while back wishing to help us earthlings by bringing us peace, love, harmony, renewable energy, etc. However, they made the mistake of landing first in France and in typical form the Frenchies were so ignorant to these visitors to their country that the aliens fecked off back to space again and are now building a deathstar to wipe us out.

    C'est la vie.



    It's bringing love! .... Break it's legs!

    OP is referring to an announcement that will supposedly be made about UFOs by a "senior government official" in France. Was posted to the site allnewsweb and copied by other news sites (no large ones thankfully) who refused to care that there were no sources or names, and that allnewsweb is known for being very unreliable.


    I thought it might be a variation on the old "Pope to make an announcement..." joke....

    Clearly this canot be true as aliens only ever land in America and never bother with the rest of the world.

    Not that I don't like the idea of aliens though (there had better be life out there or else it's just a great big waste of space) but it would seem the entire universe has acieved superluminol velocities based on the amount of alien visitations our little planet gets.

    You can watch the impending invasion live here btw, well, not live, it updates every 5 seconds or so.

    I have it set at the moment to watching some of the UFO's to the top right and a few around the bottom right.

    I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our new alien overlords and declare myself clearly with an open policy and view toward full social welfare benefits, our jobs and our women if they so require, no probs, work away lads...

    I've seen no reputable media outlets or government press make mention of this, so I'm willing to bet that either the information is completely unremarkable or the disclosure event wont even happen.

    Surely they'ld only disclose such a thing if it were either
    a) perfectly safe and they were deemed to be completely benevolent / working with us for decades
    b) about to attack and they need everyone to grab the nearest pitchfork to defend the planet

    Anything in between and it would spook a small percentage of the population enough to go running to the hills.

    I'd say this rumour is either fake, or part of some evil marketing departments advertisement campaign... "prices which are out of this world"..

    I would like on behalf of After Hours, say to our Alien friends Failte!*

    *(please note before any act of aggresion is contemplated, we would ask you to view the full collection of Tom Cruise's dvds. If this has not changed your train of thought please Wikipedia Chuck Norris. If this has not deterred you i would like to ask you to become familiar with the name Mary Harney. She will slaughter you in your droves and bathe in the blood of your young...and thats just to work up an appetite.)

    Could of sworn i read something years ago about one in France.

    Anyhow, quick search on a reputable serarch engine lead me to find out there was plans of alledgely building an airport for UFO's in Peurto Rico.
