    Scammer has been omitted from the description for some reason.
    The site was up until last weekend.

    It is possible that a few interested parties forced it to be taken down before he did too much damage

    So please don't continue in that vein.

    (I however would be pleased to be compared to Villanelle. So much more exotic than Mick Hucknell...)
    Thanks!...erm I think! :-)

    And look on the bright side cojak... it could be worse than Mick Hucknell…..I have to handle looking like an emaciated version of Mr Bean on a daily basis

    That knowledge isn’t particularly useful when it’s specifically this thread I would like to have been able to add the picture to rather than posting it elsewhere on the forum. I understand and why I don’t have the permissions to add a picture to this thread and that’s fine.

    Hi Many thanks for this post. Most appreciated. Ive in the last few mins posted a new thread which sets out my position but its going through the mods as ive had to do from a new account (as I don't recall my old login details)
    Assume the post is allowed it points out, amongst other things, that myself Matt and WTT actually do discuss matters. indeed I speak to MH most days and on a fairly regular basis have discussions with Rhys from WTT and despite (quite large)differences of opinion on BG we agree that getting rid of the LC is a common goal.
    Phil

In fact I’d go as far as to say that I suspect he could have made an absolute fortune but instead has tried to help more people than anyone will ever know!!.
