    I have been reading the thread here for a bit now, surprised me nobody had thought to flip the ManU site, so put in photoshop and all seemed a little clearer…..

    states that a player ‘froze on the spot’ after looking at the big screens

    subliminal messages in adverts

    and that new player ‘brown’ is “magic”

    Why Does the Man united emblem have a picture of Neptune(Man on the right) on it and call it the Devil?Is it because he’s under a boat?What a coincidence its MU and MU I mean what are the odds?

    Colin, all those references could also be to do with snooker. I don’t think that’s got anything to do with anything, just felt like pointing it out! LOL 😀

    @Lady Claire – true, DB is the master of misdirection after all, it could just be something to keep us guessing…

    @Julie – I like the twins theory, sounds like the kind of thing DB might want to explore mentally… though not sure if that leads us to any more clues…

    @Ben – Yeah that site has been flipped and read by a few poeple… Another thought I had was about Detinu (“United” backwards)… found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Detinu.

    Could be coincidence (do we believe in that?), that page has remained largely unchanged for over 2 years, and there are no other coinciding references to DB/events/etc.

    Not long now….. 😀

    Well, I’ve spent the whole morning plugging combos of the numbers on the Lottery Lamp Post into rapidshare under borderwrenn and I think I’m just about done in now. I figured the last .wav was a 9 digit number and there are 9 on the post. But nothing worked. I’m probably of on a wild goose chase, maybe it’s under another rendering of Derren’s malleable name? Maybe it’s a 6, not a 9, a 22 and not a 32. Dunno. But I’m off for a walk and a tub of frozen yogurt (green tea with pineapple, yummy) from Frais. I deserve a wee treat even if I will never be able to work it all out. Prob if I just sit patiently, it will all unfurl. But it has been fun working bits n bobs out and reading up on lots of the philosophy bits and bobs. It’s a whole nother career though and my brain hurts a tad.

    I’m possibly massively behind the curve on this, and apologies if I am, but I was just forced to try and decipher the whole shebang today by my lady wife. On the reversed manchesterunited website, the crest has the motto ‘HIC LOCUS VERUS NON EST.’ Obviously the rough latin translation of that is ‘The truth is not here.’ but if you jumble it you can get ‘EVENTS’ with the remaining letter as ‘CUHCOSNSORIL’
    I’ve been racking my brains all morning, but can’t make a functional word from that. Anyone any ideas, or am I reading way too deep?

  11. JayKay
    06 September 2009

    Jelly’s bloke, I think lots of us are, as you say, reading too deep and walking in circles, wandering around in the dark, taking backwards steps, blinded by science, looking one way whilst something’s happening the other way. He called us and we came! It’s been fun though.

    06 September 2009

    @JayKay, what a wonderfully concise way of putting it. That’s put into words exactly how I’ve been feeling over all of this of late! And I agree, it has been fun! 😀

    And you had frozen yoghurt, and I’ve just demolished some Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food! Yum!!

    @ Lady Claire- I just ate half a tub of Cherry Garcia 😮 It’s frozen Yogurt so I’m almost being healthy 😀

    Maybe there’s subliminal “Eat Ben and Jerry’s” messages in here too and DB’s on commission. lol.

    It has been fun getting lost hasn’t it?

    @jelly’s bloke. The only two words I get are- councilors and occlussions? Not much help then

    LC, I’ve been good today. Fat free. Wasn’t intentional, believe me! And, though not being tremendously computer literate and thus frustrated at times digging for source codes (what?), I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having my horizons broadened in a couple of days.

    when you click the derren uk page bottom right it says “all your browser are belong to us” another anagram maybe havnt got much and my brain hurts but found:

    Gooseberry runabout loser wall

    which i think is quite fitting lol found anagram solver at http://freespace.virgin.net/martin.mamo/anagram.html which is helpful or will enable you to melt your brain some more 🙂

    07 September 2009

    With more help from the anagram solver as posted above ‘HIC LOCUS VERUS NON EST can be turned into
    “sensuous tv chronicle”

    I know im probably looking for an answer thats not there however its fun and better than trisha lol 🙂

    The “All your browser” thing is a reference to an internet meme, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us

    HIC LOCUS VERUS NON EST also translates into Cuticles Nervous Nosh, which is probably what Derren is doing right now… ;D

    The whole ‘green’ clue, I think it could relate to the 4th event, the roulette one?
    Because apart from the lottery the only other event that uses numbers is this one, and in the advert it has two set of numbers, the lottery ones and the number 0 on the mans back.
    If you bet on the number 0 in roulette it is green, not red or black, also you quadrouple your money, and everyone else who put money down gets they’re money back.
    This one has something to do with members of the public right, so mabye he’s playing with their money.
    Just a theory like, but I think it’s quite plausable.

    I know what ol’ Dezzer is up to, It’s fucking plain and simple. He has figured out the lottery number with his immense brain power, stuck them on the lamp post but left one out because its the euromillions draw, the dream numbers will either be 7 9, or they will be something no body get. Thousands of people will buy Euro tickets after the wednesday one ends up being different numbers (which he will blatantly predict, amirite?) and the 85 million jackpot will be spread across the nation to all the people who identified the 5 numbers on high def streamed videos and it will pull the UK out of economic crisis. People debts will be payed, people can afford little luxuries, everyones happy. I know what my numbers are anyway ;). Derren saves the UK theory copyrighted

    @ JayKay (and everyone who hasn’t heard it)

    Just in case you weren’t able to get hold of it in time and are still in the dark about the .wav file on rapidshare…

    http://domz.co.uk/view/Derren-Brown-The-Events-Forward-Splashcom-Borderwrennwav-6-10-25-32-47

    DomZ appears to have been kind enough to enlighten us all a little with regards to it.

    Peace People!

    I have, but is it real? I know there’s been a religious theme for a while, but the witches stuff sounds a bit whacko. Read up on the saint etc and maybe it’s in-keeping with certain things; maybe Derren’s got some kind of Macbeth scenario in mind to film, or whether it’s all metaphorical or whatever? Dunno. I’m sure all those who were clever enough to collect the wav are sworn to secrecy. But, as I said, I dunno. I have the various combos of numbers though. They must be relevant for something, but maybe it’s not the lottery. I thought the diff colours would help us work out the units of 10 they belonged to, but they don’t help – unless I can’t see the difference in the reds/pinks v well?

    Far too head-meltingly confusing for me i think its his plan though to build people up to a frenzy of misdirection and create alot of hype for his shows. CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

    Don’t forget The Events competition people – listen out for your phones at 10am tomorrow! 😀
    Fingers crossed …

  27. Lady Claire
    08 September 2009

    @Francis, no I’ve not forgotten! Everything crossed here also….. 😉

    I must admit that I feel like I’ve been tying myself up in itty bitty knots endeavouring to work out various things to do with The Events, but I don’t know…..perhaps now I just want to ENJOY them all! 😀

    I can’t help feeling we are all being tricked. Although I suppose that IS the point seeing as he’s an illusionist. Since predicting the lottery is actually impossible, there must be some sort of manipulation involved to get us to at least believe that he has. And it would be easier to control thousands of viewers seeing as he’s taken over an entire channel.

    I feel as though I’m being subliminally messaged. 🙁

    I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
