The Freemasons

Ep1:
United Grand Lodge of England celebrates its 300th anniversary the secretive organisation throws open the doors of its wood-panelled rooms to show some of what goes on behind-the-scenes.

I just found 5 episodes on Torrent. Was surprised to see it and amazed that they consider us that stupid that we'll believe what they tell us about themselves.

Here is how they advertise it:

This brand new five part documentary seeks to discover the truth behind the ancient rituals and closely-guarded practices of the world's oldest social network, taking viewers exclusively behind the scenes in the run up to its 300th anniversary in 2017.

No, not seen it, and like you say, they are hardly going to tell the truth now are they as they would not be called a secret society then would they.

They say it is bad manners to blow your own horn...so I usually do not

Someone made a post asking if life is worse than it used to be - so I just had to be smart-alekky and reply:

No, times are not worse, they have always been part shit and part manure (which helps us grow).
The good times are only there half the time, for the good times are the sunlight that warms us to the heart.

No bad manners in blowing your own horn, only the elite wankers want you to think that, got to do what you got to do, to get on in life, and take no rules, from fools.
