I wonder how many people bought the autobiography he was going to publish a couple of years ago. It was called "The Man Who Came Back from the Dead". I don't see it on Aamzon - not even in the vanity self-publishing section. Well, I may have been mentioned in his book. which book would that be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Mason_(author) Different person with the same name. |

I'm still about & fine. Lost interest in the group because of all the
political ****e. Nobody attended the BP AGM. It was a construct to wind uo the Mason halfwit - which it did very successfully. I knew the venue very well & included enough "accidental convincers" to make it believable. Mason is a bit thick & fell for it. -- Dave The Medway Handyman |

It wasn't me, although I know who it was. As I said, you are a bit thick & fell for it. He claimed that he was called Mark James who happened to be on my Global Address List in the BP e-mail system. That means whoever it was had found out his name. He had a Lincolnshire accent which I noted at the time. Anyway, it's all in the past now. |

I disagree with him, but he demonstrates little bigotry.

Its not very surprising that bigots are bigots about more than just one thing. In fact I can't think of any bigot who isnt. |
