It's Menalaus.

Hope he gets some help.

How do you know?

Next you'll be telling me Spartacus isn't the real deal.

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:

I'm getting a bit wierded out by this place/ imaginary place.

His first name was Craig, that I know.

It says in one of the articles that Stu linked to that he changed his name from Craig Colclough to Craig Alexander.

I wonder if there is anything in the "Craig Colclough Appreciation Society" group on facebook yet.

How do you know?

The guy changed his name by deed poll to "Craig Alexander", Craig has emailed me. I read the article, put two and two together re: his flat in London about to be empty.

A little telephone call I made this morning confirmed it.

I hope he uses the time in "Nick" to sort himself out.

However now that his picture and background have been pasted all over the place he might find it difficult to go back to work in the city.

Very sad. However, when he got the role of Quack in that signals TA regiment, why wasn't his background checked?

Heads will roll...

No way! Was that really Menelaus???

Alexander treated dozens of recruits at the Territorial Army's 36th Signals, based in Ilford, Essex. His patients included signalman Mark Cox, who broke his hand while out on an exercise.

Alexander, 39, misdiagnosed the fracture as a dislocation and 'manipulated' Mr Cox's hand back into place, causing him immense pain.
