When a criminals' themselves dial 911 and talk the cops through their plans, as you might imagine the boys in blue are ecstatic.</p> <p>According to a May 21, report in Find Law, the assailant and accomplice were engaged in planning how to enter premises for the purposes of burglary when one of the men's leaned on a wall while his cell phone was in his back pocket. The phone dialled 911 dispatch and the entire plan was recorded. Not only that, as the conversation indicated the silly arse was outside the place he planned to rob the cops were able to trace the phone's location (<a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-trace-a-mobile-phone-location-with-google-latitude/">you can do this at home</a>)and apprehend the wannabe dickheads.</p> <p>Nathan Teklemariam and Carson Rinehart, two 20-year-old men, were and charged with burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property.</p> <p>The 911 dispatcher answered the and did not receive a response, but heard voices on the line. "I though it was just kids arseing about," he told media. </p> <p>In a second attempt to speak with the caller the dispatcher heard the men's discussion about marijuana.</p> <p>The emergency department's recording shows the criminal's cell phone call was connected to the 911 dispatch line for 35-minutes, giving the police plenty of time to saunter round and nick the villains.</p> <p>Police Sergeant Jaime Rios stated that, "The 911 call was still open at the time of the arrests, and the officer took the phone and ended the call himself."</p> <p><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/america-s-dumbest-criminals-criminal-s-butt-call-to-911-ends-his-arrest?cid=PROG-strangenews-Carousel-CTP-dumbestcriminals">original story and extracts from the recording at Examiner.com</a>.</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/24/stupid-criminal-of-the-week-called-the-cops-while-planning-heist-16052368/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-23:/2013/05/23/man-triest-to-video-ghost-captures-more-than-he-bargained-for-16049399/ianrthorpe2013-05-23T22:00:40+02:002013-05-23T22:00:40+02:00 <p>This one is definitely from the "You Couldn't Make It Up Department.</p> <p>A curious Australian man looking to capture paranormal activity on a hidden camera ended up with evidence of something a whole lot scarier – his girlfriend having a sexual relationship with his underage son.</p> <p><a href="http://whofortedblog.com/2013/05/21/man-attempts-film-ghost-captures-much-worse/">Read the whole story on WhoForted blog</a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/23/man-triest-to-video-ghost-captures-more-than-he-bargained-for-16049399/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-23:/2013/05/23/having-sex-on-the-subway-with-google-translate-16047235/ianrthorpe2013-05-23T15:09:26+02:002013-05-23T15:09:26+02:00 <p>Last week, Prague subway authorities announced the idea that a special "Love Train" service will be introduced on the city subway.

Natural News has learned it all coincides with a well-timed for-profit corporate P.R. campaign that has been planned for months and just happens to coincide with the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision on the viability of the BRCA1 patent. </p> <p>This is the investigation the mainstream media refuses to touch. Here, I explain the corporate financial ties, investors, mergers, human gene patents, lawsuits, medical fear mongering and the trillions of dollars that are at stake here. If you pull back the curtain on this one ...<br> (<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/040365_Angelina_Jolie_gene_patents_Supreme_Court_decision.html">Read full story - it's a bit technical but not too bad</a>)</p> <p>Attempts by Big Pharma, Big Money and Big Evil (not Google, they are only apprentices) to patent the human genome for profit have been on the cards for some time.

Angelina Jolie was not brave, her decision was either cowardly or calculating. It would be uncharitable to suggest the Jolie jugs were sagging unattractively as she nears forty and her 'people' came up with a great way of having them lifted and milking maximum publicity out of it, so we will not mention that possibility.</p> <p>But why are we celebrating self mutilation. If some teenager who'd had a shitty childhood was cutting him or herself would we celebrate that?</p> <p>Ah no, but Angie had an eighty seven per cent chance of developing breast cancer. Eighty Seven per cent of what, you wonder. We did at the Boggart Blog editorial meeting. Only yesterday I was trying to explain to a science head Daily Telegraph blogger why only nine per cent of people trust statistics. It went like this:</p> <p>Tom Chivers:</p> <p><em>Fifty-eight per cent of Britons between 16 and 75 believe that if you flip a coin twice, the probability of getting two heads is 50 per cent. Fifty-four per cent of Britons are "fairly confident" in their ability to use data and numbers.</p> <p>If the Ipsos-Mori poll from which this is taken was accurate, it means that at least 12 per cent of Britons think they're pretty good with numbers but can't work out 0.5 times 0.5.</p> <p>I'm not especially brilliant with numbers, data and statistics, in the scale of things, I should admit. But they are important. They're the only tool we have for assessing the world dispassionately, for stripping it as far as we can of the colour of our own experience. Which is why the numbers given above are not, actually, the most depressing in the poll.</p> <p>The most depressing numbers are the following. One thousand and thirty-four British adults between 16 and 75 were asked to choose between the following statements:</p> <p>Statistics are more important than my own experiences or those of my family and friends in helping me keep track of how the government is doing</p> <p>My own experiences or those of my family and friends are more important than statistics in helping me keep track of how the government is doing.</p> <p>Forty-six per cent chose the latter. Just nine per cent chose the former.</p> <p>But how can anyone, using their own experience and those of the, say, 150 probably fairly similar people they regularly come into contact with, possibly gain any sort of insight into the effects government reforms of the NHS, or benefit cuts, or whatever, are having across a nation of tens of millions of people? (<a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tomchiversscience/100217094/depressing-just-nine-per-cent-of-britons-trust-stats-over-our-own-experience-though-most-of-us-wont-believe-that/">read all this post</a>)</em></p> <p><strong>My reply:</strong></p> <p><em>Tom, you are probably not as deficient in maths and statistics as you think. If you could be more objective about anything that wears a "science" label I reckon you would do fine.</p> <p>The trick is to be able to discriminate between what is a statistic and what is an interpretation.</p> <p>Manchester United won 30 out of 37 matches played this so far season.</p> <p>Chelsea won 22 out of 37 matches played so far.</p> <p>These are statistics and are easily verifiable.</p> <p>Now if we say (using mental arithmetic) Manchester United won 80% of games played this season while Chelsea won 60% we're still OK but will alienate many people because percentages are used in statistics to deceive and deflect.</p> <p>If however we come over all Brian Cox and say Manchester United win rate 80%, Chelsea win rate 60% therefore Manchester United are 20% (or 33% depending on how you calculate) better than Chelsea, that's statistical bollocks and people are a lot more adept at seeing through it than media type, politicians and academics are willing to accept.</p> <p>You see, statistics are not always numbers, more often they are interpretations of numbers. And when government or big business is involved they are interpretations that are deliberately skewed towards the outcome the sponsoring organisation wants.</em></p> <p>Angelina Jolie did not have an eighty seven per cent chance of developing breast cancer, according to figures from the <a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Detection/probability-breast-cancer">U S National Cancer Institute fact sheet</a> she had a 12.4% chance of developing cancer. Or maybe an eighty seven per cent of twelve point four percent. Like candidates in a mathematics examination, scientists and big science shills should always be required to show their workings.</p> <p>from U S National Cancer Institute<br> What is the average American woman’s risk of developing breast cancer during her lifetime?</p> <p><em>Based on current incidence rates, 12.4 percent of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives (1). This estimate, from the most recent SEER Cancer Statistics Review (a report published annually by the National Cancer Institute’s [NCI] Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results [SEER] Program), is based on breast cancer statistics for the years 2007 through 2009.</p> <p>This estimate means that, if the current incidence rate stays the same, a woman born today has about a 1 in 8 chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer at some time during her life. On the other hand, the chance that she will never have breast cancer is 87.6 percent, or about 7 in 8.</p> <p>In the 1970s, the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States was just under 10 percent (or about 1 in 10).</p> <p>The last five annual SEER reports show the following estimates of lifetime risk of breast cancer, all very close to a lifetime risk of 1 in 8:<br> </em></p> <p>Someone close to me has recently undergone treatment for breast cancer. In her case neither her mother or her aunts or either grandmother ever had any sign of breast cancer, in spite of them all living beyond the average lifespan for their generation. Statistics mean nothing, reality is what counts.</p> <p>So Angelina Jolie was caluclating that by having her tits off she had a one hundred per cent chance of grabbing front page headlines in ninety five per cent (I made that up) of the worlds print and broadcast media of she was so terrified of having an eighty seven and a half per cent chance of not developing breast cancer.</p> <p>Or as many American experts are agreeing with a more sceptical view of the statistics that informed Angelina's assault on her breast tissue that in fact her chanches of developing breast cancer based on the fact that she has two genes active that have been idientified in studies funded by the reconstructive surgery industry, she had a far smaller probability than my crude statistical calculations show. <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2013/05/did-angelina-jolie-make-mistake-by.html">Did Angelina Jolie Make A Mistake By Acting On The breast Cancer Gene Theory</a></p> <p>Here's a teaser:<br> <em>The 'prophylactic' removal of women's breasts due to BRCA1/BRCA2 status has become a disturbingly popular trend, and increasingly it is being celebrated in the mainstream media and medical establishments as a reasonable choice. But does the scientific evidence itself refute this approach?</p> <p>Angelina Jolie's recent announcement in a New York Times op-ed that she had a 'prophylactic' double mastectomy due to her BRCA1/BRCA2 status has disturbing implications, some of which we covered late last year in connection with Allyn Rose, the 24-year old Miss America contestant who announced she would be undergoing a double mastectomy to "prevent" breast cancer.<br> </em><br> Whatever, you can bet if there is a sudden rush to private clinics by rich, egotistical silly tarts wanting their tits off "like Angelina", Ms. Jolie will be well, if indirectly rewarded for her sacrifice. In fact the publicity she has had already must be worth enough to pay for ten double mastectomies.</p> <p>The irony is our forebears who did not have technology, modern medical techniques, designer drugs and all the rest and just had to catch what life threw at them and run with it seemed to suffer far less stress and anxiety than we do. I can't help feeling that the plague of progress in the 20th century has robbed us of more than Angelina's tits.</p> <p>As for Tom Chivers, I hope his blind faith in statistics does not induce him to go and have his tits off.</p> <p>RELATED POSTS:</p> <p><a href="http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/13622/">St Angelina, save us from ourselves! - Brendan O’Neill, Spiked</a><br> The beatification of Angelina Jolie for writing about her mastectomy confirms that celebrity culture has reached new and hysterical heights</p> <p><a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/celebrity_menu.shtml">Celebrity Menu</a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/16/why-are-we-celebrating-angelina-s-tits-or-lack-of-them-15997073/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-16:/2013/05/16/bolshevik-broadcasting-corporation-cox-sackers-15995081/ianrthorpe2013-05-16T14:36:23+02:002013-05-16T14:36:23+02:00 <p>Or are they just politically correct cupid stunts?</p> <p>BBC behemoth of politically correct bullshit Radio 4 has been criticised after the words "cox sackers" were broadcast during an afternoon show.</p> <p>The host of the Thinking Allowed show, Laurie Taylor, read out an email which referred to the sacking of a cox from a rowing team.</p> <p>A listener complained that an afternoon show contained the "grossly offensive play on words".</p> <p>The incident took place at 4.15pm on April 25 last year.</p> <p>WTF?

Do these maiden aunts think the little muthafuckers in modern schools don't hear far worse language in the playground? </p> <p>The BBC initially defended the broadcast, with its editorial complaints unit claiming that "the offensive words themselves are not actually used" and "Radio 4 is essentially an adult radio channel".</p> <p>But the trust ruled that it was in breach of the corporation's editorial guidelines.</p> <p>Boggart Blog's Political Correctness correspondent Arthur Foxake thinks the complaint should have been rejected as everyone who listens to Radio 4 i brain dead and therefore it is not possible to offend them. On the other hand calling a show Thinking Allowed on a station that only broadcasts to the brain dead (who are offended by phrases like Cox sackers) is an offence under the trade descriptions act. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/16/bolshevik-broadcasting-corporation-cox-sackers-15995081/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-15:/2013/05/15/dave-surprise-by-price-fixing-yeah-right-15982167/ianrthorpe2013-05-15T15:24:25+02:002013-05-15T15:24:25+02:00 <p>News today that petrol prices to consumers have been driven up by price fixing deals cut between members of the Big Oil price fixing cartel only came as a surprise to one person.</p> <p>While David (call me Twat) Cameron is away putting the world to rights and helping Barack Obama piss off Russia and China and start World War 3, a Downing Street official, speaking on the Prime Minister's behalf said Mr. Cameron is surprised, shocked and very deeply concerned by the allegations that prices prices may have been driven up by oil companies rigging the market.</p> <p>If you are anything like sane your first reaction will have been, "Shocked?

Mr. Ngwane Swatini Umbongo told media representatives. He expressed concern that high flying witches could stray into air traffic lanes and cause passenger aircraft to crash or turn into pterodactyls which would be bad for the tourist industry.<br> .<br> “A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit,” Civil Aviation Authority marketing and Wirtch Finder - in Chief said yesterday.</p> <p>No penalties exist for witches flying below 150 metres.</p> <p>The Jo'burg Star reported it was hard to say how serious he was, but witchcraft isn’t a joking matter in Swaziland, where the people believe in it.</p> <p>When asked if there were also legal restrictions on how high magic carpets could fly the minister said, "Don't be silly, magic carpets only exist in fairy tales."</p> <p>You will be delighted to know this story is not entirely made up.

Slather yourselves in factor twenty five million subscreen or risk turning into a tumor they said. Lying scientists, they were just trying to sell sun products. </p> <p>Now comes an honest (i.e. not funded by Big Pharma) investigation into the effects of sunlight. "We suspect that the benefits to heart health of sunlight will outweigh the risk of skin cancer" it says in typically guarded language. Once again scientists take decades to discover what the rest of us already knew. Sunshine is good for us. We evolved in sunshine, it made us strong and nimble. If we had evolved in darkness we would all be like Gollum.</p> <p>But for years all we have had from the science tits is dire warnings about the harmful effects of UV rays. It was all lies, the usual story with the Scienceologists and their scientific methodeffingology, rig the data and make sure you get the result the customer wants.</p> <p>A lot of us have been boldly basking where no man has basked before for reasons like topping up vitamin D to avoid rickets (making a comeback in California thanks to science induced paranoia and Factor 75), mood enhancement, happiness, skin issues, liver health, relief from arthritic and muscle pain and generally just sticking two fingers up to lying science tits and "health experts". Now there's never a reason to fear harm or feel guilty about gettiung a bit of sunshine, it waas another scam to put your hard earned in Big Pharma's pocket.

Neither can understand that when a bloke like Putin says, "We must all work together for peace," what he really means is: You twats stop interfereing and back off and we will have peace when the rebels are all lined up against a wall and shot.</p> <p>I read on an Indian news site today that Assad's men, with Russian planes, tanks and guns to play with, are kicking the crap out of the rebels since Russia and China told the west to stop supplying arms and Obama's advisers told him the rebels he was arming are Al Qaeda affiliates. That doesn't sound to me like working towards the kind of peace that will lead to a Kumbaya singing liberal democracy. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/13/cameron-a-bigger-fantasist-than-blair-15965190/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-12:/2013/05/12/and-the-country-in-most-trouble-is-15959461/ianrthorpe2013-05-12T21:05:40+02:002013-05-12T21:05:40+02:00 <p>We're in trouble, France is in trouble, Italy is in trouble but what's new about that?

"But he couldn't do those things, he's cute," they protest.</p> <p>While some scrawl the hashtag “#FreeJahar” on their hands with markers, an 18-year-old named Alisha from Topeka, Kansas, is going to the extreme — she wants the Dzhokhar brother’s words under the skin on her arm forever.</p> <p>She tweeted “Getting one of Jahar’s tweets tattooed on me tomorrow. Guess you could say I’m a #FreeJahar supporter.” </p> <p>The tatted-up teen, Alisha, who Jahar might kick out of bed for farting because ... well let's say I've seen better looking girls, or perhaps for being an immodest woman because fanatics tend to be funny like that, told reporters she would put Tsarnaev’s April 7 tweet on her upper inside of her arm. It will read, </p> <p>“If you have the knowledge and the inspiration all that’s left is to take action.” Somebody should take action and get her sectioned.

MPs, 'health experts' and sociologists have for several years been pushing a campaign to stop supermarkets selling cut price booze.</p> <p>As usual the hypocritical shits are not willing to lead by example. With the mouth on one face they may be claiming the moral high ground by prating about the demon drink. With the mouth on the other they are calling for the already cut price booze sold in the bars at the Palace Of Westminster to be made even cheaper.</p> <p>Despite prices for alcohol being kept cheaper than a nearby Wetherspoons pub at the four Palace of Westminster bars, MPs have suggested Parliamentary prices should not be linked to pubs in central London. Instead they claim the price of a pint should be linked to that in the Jarrow and Hebburn Welders and Riveters club.</p> <p>At the moment prices are kept lower, than a nearby Wetherspoons in Victoria Street, with pints of John Smith’s bitter costing £2.60 and Becks lager £3.20 – cheaper than many London pubs but still dearer than most northern working men's clubs. </p> <p>Senior Back Bencher Rupert Fatte - Bastard (Con. Poshington) said, "People are always complaining that MPs are our of touch with the ordinary voter, well how can we be in touch with ordinary voters when we have to pay the same for a pint as City Bankers, Mwah ha ha!"</p> <p><strong>MORE FROM THE GREENTEETH STABLE</strong></p> <p><a href="http://edbutt.blogspot.co.uk/">Boggart Abroad</a> ... <a href="http://www.dailystirrer.com/">Daily Stirrer home</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.wordpress.com/">Greenteeth Bites</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/">Boggart Blog</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/">Greenteeth Labyrinth</a> ... <a href="htttp://www.greenteethmm.com/biography-intro.shrml">Author</a> ... <a href="http://ianrthorpe.gather.com/">Gather</a> ... <a href="http://www.bubblews.com/account/16644-edbutt">Bubblews</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/ianthorpe/">Authorsden</a> ... <a href="http://www.scribd.com/ianrthorpe">Scribd</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ian.thorpe.961?ref=tn_tnmn">Ian Thorpe at Facebook</a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/07/minimum-alcohol-pricing-one-rule-for-us-another-for-15861235/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-06:/2013/05/06/obama-s-psy-op-speech-to-students-15856757/ianrthorpe2013-05-06T21:45:34+02:002013-05-16T19:51:30+02:00 <p>President Obama gave the commencement address at Ohio State University yesterday, May 5. I don't quite know what a commencement speech is or why they would be given to students at the end of term rather than the start but then it's America where at this time of year high school pupils have to go to a dance dressed as grown ups (very boring grown ups at that) and get a pram or something. The Prez dude took the opportunity to try and get a bit of propaganda across to the new graduates:</p> <p> "Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. </p> <p>Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. </p> <p>You should reject these voices.

Now Nigel is MP for Clitheroe and Ribble Valley, just up the road, and the buzz is he knew one of these guys and regularly socialized with him until very recently. Like last week recently. Hmmmmmmm.</p> <p>Now I don't know about the rest of you guys but I'm always suspicious of male rape allegations. The only way any man would poke his plonker up my back passage would be if he stuck it between my cold dead cheeks.</p> <p>Evans himself says the accusations are ridiculous. Well he would, wouldn't he? </p> <p>The story did give us one typically Tory failure to communicate moment however. Former leadership contender David (High Hair) Davis was commening on the UKIP triumph in the local elections and the crisis it has plunged the Tories into as the Nigel Evans story was breaking.</p> <p>Davis said what the party needs is less political correctness and more straight talking.</p> <p>Ahem, perhaps not the best choice of words in the circumstances David.</p> <p><strong>MORE FROM THE GREENTEETH STABLE</strong></p> <p><a href="http://edbutt.blogspot.co.uk/">Boggart Abroad</a> ... <a href="http://www.dailystirrer.com/">Daily Stirrer home</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.wordpress.com/">Greenteeth Bites</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/">Boggart Blog</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/">Greenteeth Labyrinth</a> ... <a href="htttp://www.greenteethmm.com/biography-intro.shrml">Author</a> ... <a href="http://ianrthorpe.gather.com/">Gather</a> ... <a href="http://www.bubblews.com/account/16644-edbutt">Bubblews</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/ianthorpe/">Authorsden</a> ... <a href="http://www.scribd.com/ianrthorpe">Scribd</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ian.thorpe.961?ref=tn_tnmn">Ian Thorpe at Facebook</a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/06/latest-political-arse-bandit-story-is-a-damp-squib-15856003/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p> tag:greenteeth.blog.co.uk,2013-05-05:/2013/05/05/football-news-the-great-di-stefano-has-scored-again-15834480/ianrthorpe2013-05-05T14:33:37+02:002013-05-16T19:49:31+02:00 <p>OK, most of you are too young to remember Alefredo Di Stefano, midfield general of the all conquering Real Madrid side in the 1950s, he's 86 now. In spite of his advanced age Di Stefano has scored again.</p> <p>What? Is he still playing? You might well ask.</p> <p>Well no, the Argentinian who played for Madrid in five successive European Cup finals (they didn't do The Champions League then) from 1956 to 1960, scoring in each, has not graced a football field for half a century.</p> <p>He has scored in an entirely different sense, the old goat is getting married to 36 year old Gina Gonzalez. Miss Gonzalez, a dark eyed, raven haired Costa Rican beauty (well OK that may be a tad hyperbolic but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for farting).</p> <p>Asked what his children from his previous marriage thought of the upcoming nuptials Di Stefano, now honorary chairman of Real, replied "Who cares what they think, life is a game of two halves."</p> <p>Commenting on the age difference Gina said, "It was his sense of humour that won me over, he has a young heart."</p> <p>Nothing to do with his rather large fortune then? And we're not sure about the young heart bit, these days Alfredo is only seen in public in a wheelchair.</p> <p>We wish Alfredo and his bride to be well for the future and are now off to see the Boggart Blog bookie and check the odds on the old boy making 87.</p> <p class="center"><a href="http://www.blog.co.uk/media/photo/di_stefano/7019154" title="Di Stefano"><img src="http://data8.blog.de/media/154/7019154_bc1d8ddecf_m.jpeg" alt="Di Stefano"></a></p> <p><a href="http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/real-madrid-legend-alfredo-di-stefano-marry-woman-090235256.html">Alfedo Di Stefano and Gina Gonzales</a></p> <p><strong>MORE FROM THE GREENTEETH STABLE</strong></p> <p><a href="http://edbutt.blogspot.co.uk/">Boggart Abroad</a> ... <a href="http://www.dailystirrer.com/">Daily Stirrer home</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.wordpress.com/">Greenteeth Bites</a> ... <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/">Boggart Blog</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/">Greenteeth Labyrinth</a> ... <a href="htttp://www.greenteethmm.com/biography-intro.shrml">Author</a> ... <a href="http://ianrthorpe.gather.com/">Gather</a> ... <a href="http://www.bubblews.com/account/16644-edbutt">Bubblews</a> ... <a href="http://www.greenteethmm.com/ianthorpe/">Authorsden</a> ... <a href="http://www.scribd.com/ianrthorpe">Scribd</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ian.thorpe.961?ref=tn_tnmn">Ian Thorpe at Facebook</a></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://greenteeth.blog.co.uk/2013/05/05/football-news-the-great-di-stefano-has-scored-again-15834480/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
