Hes still going. Unlike CUK he never sold out to cheap gimmicks and poor moderation.

Yes I got his "spam" email too. This story was quite interesting:
Dead Contractor rises again 3 years later on another contract
Which is about a contractor declaring himself dead in order to jump ship. It is not uncommon for contractors to come up with the most extreme excuses for leaving a contract. I had a South African who told us his father had died at which point he disappeared. He also trashed his flat which prompted the landlord to contact us, so I rang his mum up in SA to see if we could talk to him. She said he was in the UK and when I said how sorry I was to hear that her husband had died she was astonished.
if a contractor disappears at short notice without telling anyone then whatever the excuse I would not believe them!

I also got my hands on my 20% that he had tried to take with him
Just had a look and I had got one. It had gone to Junk!
Might pop back to have a shufti...... all that sticks in my memory was BolshieB*stard who kept repeating that "that" site was tulip and "this" site was much better!!! but at the ClientCo "this" site was blocked..... I always wondered what I was missing!
Later when I did find "here" Bolshie turned out to be a twunt!
