Elvis and Me

Mister Squeaky is a really big fan of conspiracy theories. He says that Elvis does work in the local chip shop and that if you sing the first two lines of Suspicious Minds properly you'll get a free pickled egg (though I think that this might just be to shut him up), he also tells me that there really is a number 38 bus on the moon, parked next to the american bomber, the moon landings were filmed in hollywood, Kennedy was abducted by aliens in revenge for the Roswell autopsies and you'd be really surprised if you saw what they kept in Area 51...oh and the Loch Ness monster is really the spawn of Cthulhu
So you can imagine how his evil little rubber heart leapt with joy when he discovered a local conspiracy theory. Now I don't know if you've ever head of the SS Richard Montgomery - it's an American Liberty ship which ran aground off of Sheerness and broke up in 1944 - and it's still got about 1,400-1,600 tons of TNT aboard. There is a belief that the reason that is was not completely unloaded was that it's got a load of mustard gas or worse on board, also should the load go bang it'll break all the windows in Sheerness and Southend-on-Sea (just like a normal Friday Night down there then) and that Al Quaida are just waiting until the time is right - presumably after they've bought a controlling interest in Everest Double Glazing.
