Hmmmm...'</em></p> <p>His latest tweets suggest that the Wikileaks founder is far from happy with his new room mate, <em>'Not sure about this bloke. He rattles, and it's NOT just his jewellery'</em>, followed by his last message,<em> 'FFS! That's it!! The bastard's just scoffed all my Ferrero Rochers!</em>'</p> <p>Theresa May will make a statement later today, as it is believed Mr Assange has contacted the Home Office with a view to leaving the embassy immediately. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49493#post-142944 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:34:57 +0000 pinxit 142944@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>@cc Thank you.

I like what you have done, so well done! Love the retouched photo! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49493#post-142933 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:41:10 +0000 pinxit 142933@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Eh? Should I infer by the exclamation mark that you feel I've purloined your idea?</p> <p>'Fraid not. If I had seen your original sub and worked it up I certainly would have acknowledged it and credited you with the courtesy 'hat tip' and more. I would have also commented on the thread.</p> <p>But I didn't. Your second version (with pic) was posted after mine and I hadn't read your first with the 'extradition from hell' headline.</p> <p>In fact, I had the idea and started work on the extensive retouching of a photo (from yesterday Assange &amp; Lady Gaga), last night.</p> <p>These things aren't as simple and are vastly more time-consuming than simply using a stock photo (which you have), and posting a link, y'know...</p> <p>Posting this sub was my first time on the site today.</p> <p>If the sub is picked up (which looking at the wave of apathy for both of ours is highly unlikely) , it certainly wasn't your 'original' idea that contributed to it. But if it did... then if it makes you happy, credits certainly! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49493#post-142926 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:46:17 +0000 custard cream 142926@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for developing my original idea! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49493#post-142916 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:15:59 +0000 pinxit 142916@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Following on from yesterday's vow by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe to hunt down alleged serial sex offender Sir Jimmy Savile <em>(see NB passim)</em> and increasing demands that the DJ be disinterred, it is reported that a desperate Savile has now sought asylum from Ecuador.</p> <p>Police have cordoned off the Ecuadorian embassy in London from torch and farm-implement wielding locals and stationed snipers on adjacent rooftops.</p> <p>A picture has been tweeted on the internet allegedly from inside the building showing him next to fellow asylum-seeker Julian Assange.</p> <p><img src="http://i830.photobucket.com/albums/zz223/pinxit2/Satire/assange_sav-1.jpg"><br /> <em>How's about that then...?</em></p> <p>Mr Assange, who has been secreted within the embassy for over a hundred days, was apparently unaware of who Savile was, nor had any idea about the current furore, so posed happily for the photograph, believing the errant knight to be seeking sanctuary from persecution by the media and the government.</p> <p>He tweeted to his followers, 'With @jimllfuckit - some weird old guy who says they've all got it in for him.
