Man ejects himself from fighter jet...

[Mordac]

Some years ago there was a CUK user called "threaded" whose boastful exploits were legend, and one was a claim to have flown a jet to Italy or somewhere with a bowl of spag bol balanced on his lap.

As I recall, he was based in Amsterdam and a keen cyclist. He often claimed car drivers were out to get him, and he may have since been in a bicycle accident.

I remember Threaded well. He lived in Denmark with an imaginary supermodel and an imaginary Lamborghini. That photo of him forced into a tight Dutch football shirt is something I can never un-see. That might have been on the previous version of the board though.
His 'contractor lifestyle' posts were the stuff of legend. I don't remember the jet story, but it sounds about right.
Thanks for that little trip down memory lane.

As mentioned above, it wasn't Threaded.

Here's a post from 2009 about the scammer:

Our most recent Pilot is in the clink now - you'll have to wait a while to ask him.

Get your voting fingers at the ready.

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but is this the same Walter Mitty character we had here a while ago? Just saw it in the Metro:

Pity, it sounds just like Threaded . Thanks for the info.
