Also a FWIW and, really, that means zero as far as it goes. But perhaps interesting nonetheless. The following is related with the caveat that none of it in any way represents a personal opinion or an assertion of fact. However, recent discussion here jolted it back to memory. Anyway:
The day of the "Rob Ford Crack Confession", or Hallowe'en (whichever you prefer) my colleague and I were on a westbound subway at rush hour. Everybody was talking about it. As were we. Unprompted, a woman seated kitty-corner to us, a stranger, who had obviously overheard our convo says, "Oh, there's worse than that". So we did the ol' "What, huh?" She went on to relate that, to her understanding, there was an incident at Muzik nightclub, in a backroom (never been there, don't even know if this is a real possibility) involving Mr. Ford and an, um, 'youthful' female person. Further, this incident had been visually recorded. Whether surreptitiously or not was not clear. She - the teller of this tale - was assuredly not a nut, rather a professional young woman who works in social services or some such IIRC. So we listened to her strange and disturbing anecdote as the train clacked until we reached our stop, exchanged pleasantries and disembarked, gobsmacked in a "Did you just hear what I heard" kinda way. Then, on the platform,we dismissed it as outlandish and went on, commenting that, what with the already costumed revelers on the train, "That was kinda surreal. Some woman just told us the Mayor was 'filmed' getting a tugger at a nightclub. WTF?".
Now, this is obviously Heresay of the first order, and thus reported as such. Merely anecdotal second-hand bullshit. If anything, it's posted because it does indicate that wild, speculative rumours are not the sole provenance of this particular thread. They have moved to the realm of unsolicited subway babble. There are reams of 'chatter' (to use a MM term) out there. None of it, obviously, yet proven.
Note to mods: If this violates terms, please don't hesitate to remove it with prejudice.
Again, FWIW Equals Zero.
