    I'm so glad that [Name removed by Forum Team] hasn't tried to dissect my earlier post, or me, yet, but I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before he tries to do that...

    The funniest thing I found about [Name removed by Forum Team] was this from Google Maps Help Group:
    From: "[Name removed by Forum Team]...@yahoo.co.uk" <[Name removed by Forum Team]...@yahoo.co.uk>

    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]Hi
    [/FONT][FONT=Courier, Monospaced]I am [Name removed by Forum Team] and I own an online business recently been mentioned on TV, the newspapers and radio.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]For some reason there is an address of the company shown on google
    which is GC's PC's Ltd but as an online business it has no geographical address.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]On google maps you can seach "gcs pcs benfleet" and it shows some address that isn't right.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]I have tried removing it, but either the links on Google forward to the wrong page or it just won't delete. As an online business there is no address.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]The address shown has nothing to do with myself.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Courier, Monospaced]I demand you remove the listing ASAP.[/FONT]


    You see. An online business doesn't have an address! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    The man without a signature.

    Keep your eyes on https://www.bitterwallet.com which is a great consumer bites back type of website with excellent editorials which are very tongue in cheek and sacrcastic. Expect them to do their own very unique take on this story in the next few days which will be very funny and will help take the warnings on [Name removed by Forum Team] (You want DVD) to a global audience...

    Is this guy the Nigerian who writes the letters

    " I am a humble servant of god who has a brother who worked for the treasury and has £10000000000000 million pounds which I want to give to you if you give me your bank details" The guy is priceless and truly a legend in his own mind ; ) this could be a best seller.
