With all respect, the issue here is that the facts don't match his story in a number of places. Pointing that out isn't sticking the knife in - if he doesn't make false claims (about, say, meeting people from the club) then he doesn't get called out on them. Getting out from under SISU would...

I don't know about a fraud, but hasn't he already been caught in a number of untruths. He's not in a court of law here, but if he expects to be trusted then he'll have to earn it. What you're seeing here aren't personal attacks, but healthy scepticism. I wish we'd had more of it when SISU...

Haven't heard anyone say 'thrape' in ages. Top word. :)

Yes, I'd be upset by this. It's an unnecessary policy. In fact as a parent I'd be asking what you were doing as a teacher in this day and age with this kind of attitude? Children at this age shouldn't be scared of asking to go to the toilet; the risk here is either that the child has an...

Wearing a silly hat is 'unorthodox', lying about meeting someone is, well, lying. I don't know why it bothers you so much so that it's being pointed out that there are more than a few gaping holes in his story... I'd be delighted to see SISU go, but I'm not so keen on being used as part of...

File under 'dreamer', imho. With apologies if I've missed it, has anyone seen independent verification of this chap's claims of wealth?

I'm sorry the fella died, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But I can't see how bollocking around on illegal bikes, pulling wheelies and generally making a nuisance of yourself is in any way showing respect for him. I rode bikes for years, and I've lost a friend to a motorbike accident. It...

Agreed. The other statistic that should be rolled out more often is that having a gun or guns in the house (usually for protection against 'home-invasion') significantly increases the risk of the owner or a family member dying prematurely (via suicide or homicide). in essence, keeping a gun for...

Well fwiw I've got a large collection of both types of music: Country *and* Western. :)

Fwiw my PayPal account uses two-factor authorisation, i.e. it sends a code to my mobile number after I've signed in, which I also have to enter to confirm a transaction. It's definitely a lot more secure, but in truth I don't know if it's used to set up regular payments as well as one-off...

I know where you're coming from JHFC, but Larkin was a miserable, over-privileged, whinging old twat in my book, and that particular poem boils my piss for various reasons. Here's my preferred alternative, with some rather kinder advice. At the risk of getting over-emotional I'd say that if...

Technically, at the point they call in the debt, they're f**ked.

Sorry Steve, are you conflating a anything that happened to you at the trust with what went on at Chesterfield? Forgive me, but I have must have missed the bit where you were waiting for a train and someone upset at the trust got right in your face screaming "you're a wanker", whilst their...

So if I stood right in your face, right up in it, and shouted and screamed at you, called you a wanker, did everything short of actually punching you, you wouldn't feel even a bit intimidated, especially if I was a bit pissed, and had a dozen mates behind me? Maybe you're so fucking double hard...

That's exactly the sort of rubbish I'm talking about. Who on earth would want some pissed up twat (with a load of mates egging him on) shouting "you're a wanker" right in their face? There's no law against catching a train, and saying 'he deserves it because he likes it' is ludicrous. What...

How anyone can defend this behaviour is beyond me. Basically this was a big bloke, with a bunch of pissed mates behind him cheering him on, threatening and humiliating another man on his own, who was just trying to catch a train. It's bullying, plain and simple, and you know for a fact that if...

Result mate, that's brilliant - you must be tremendously relieved. Might as well get on those weights now, and get some decent value out of those steroids. :) Anyway, well done fella, you've handled it with courage and humour - here's to hoping you don't have any more drama (other than CCFC...

That's spot on. I hate what the CET has become, but now that no one wants to pay for their news then to some degree it's inevitable, and unhealthy. They don't help themselves with their shockingly poor and hugely intrusive design style though. The Observer, which I think manages with much...

Cheers TGP, I'll have a dig around on the website. :)
