Does that make it a 'known unknown' then?

Sounds to me a lot like the ARRSE TA forum unfounded rumour state has been raised to "SEVERE" again.

Not that it's ever dropped below "SUBSTANTIAL".

You're making even less sense than an MP on Question Time.

I always fancied being an MP.

You see, I'm not mad

as much as my heads telling me not to take any notice until it happens, im getting very curious now, not helped by those offering little teasers of the great unknown!

Can we have a rumour state board please?

Still I am quite intrigued to know what all this fuss is about. For those in the know, do I need to:

a) Put a request in to sign out the outrage minibus.
b) Be prepared to hassle my MP, with emails etc.
c) Declare my unswerving loyalty to Dear Leader Brown who will be declaring a state of Martial law for our own good.

Edited to add: "When do we get to hear this epoch making announcement?".
