Classic con, an 'innocent bystander' enters the scene.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishing -
About 20 posts ago you doubted my story, now you doubt aspects of my story.Originally posted by d000hg View PostMinestrone's version
Saw a fire, the neighbours unbelievably didn't help so I sprinted over and then sorted out their insurance.
The version based on reading his posts
Saw a fire and sat watching it long enough for it to spread to another house while posting about it on CUK. After giving the neighbours time to help, finally decided to get involved.
Credit for doing the right thing, undeniably. But I wouldn't get a hero complex just yet.
And you call yourself a Christian doogie? Or should I call you Thomas?
I made sure a couple of old guys were not taken advantage of by an insurance firm and made sure my door was available to a neighbour in a time of need. Nothing Hero about that.Comment

I still doubt the whole thing.Originally posted by minestrone View PostAbout 20 posts ago you doubted my story, now you doubt aspects of my story.
Anyway to play along, what happened to the burning house/houses? Is this a terraced street? My understanding is a house will continue to burn for a long time, a day or more, and can spread meaning people have to evacuate. Seems pretty unlikely even in icy conditions that the fire brigade would sit and watch it burn itself out.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

If you still doubt it then I can produce images of the house and I can post images of my phone calls to the insurance, the hospital and to my GF's surgery.
Not a problem.
Suity OK with you?Comment

I have no view on the truth or otherwise of your tale, fires happen and fires during the winter are undoubtedly quite a lot more likely to happen. However I'd have my doubts as to chosing Suity as a representative as he's shy some credibility with a fair few people.Originally posted by minestrone View PostIf you still doubt it then I can produce images of the house and I can post images of my phone calls to the insurance, the hospital and to my GF's surgery.

No I'm not volunteering as I've seen enough of a house fire to never want to see one again even in photo's. Terrible things.Comment

Admin, cliphead or cojack.
4 people I will produce evidence to. Evidence will be a couple of photos of the burnt house, my company number where my house will be located and a picture of my calls today proving I phoned avita and the NHS on many occasions.
I am a betting man, I will put up a grand.
Anyone want to go for that?
Anyone?Comment

An independent witness, more than happy to have suity know my company number which will give him my home address, I will give him a photo of the scene and photo of my phone calls over the day.

1. I don't care if your tale is true or not (as I said in the post)
2. You might be a betting man, I'm not (if you recall I asked you to explain decimal odds)
3. I've absolutely no desire to see anything to do with a house fire (factual or fictional)
4. Mentioning a CUK ID as an independent witness is an absurdity considering the number of sockies
5. I really don't care if you're telling the truth or made it upComment

Well done, you've deliberately set things up so you never have to go through with it. Only a chump would bet on an event you know the truth of, and they are guessing whether an internet troll is lying. This is like your alleged SKA-script all over again... insist on everyone else meeting your demands before you divulge anything.
You don't need to give away your location to prove it's real. Would you like to know a way to protect your anonymity and prove your honesty?
