Great work, the show was very enjoyable.

Your curse was far superior.

I said in the documentary that I lost my temper but you don't really see anything except for me calling the lad a thief.

I was wondering about your concern losing your cool. Man, I would have loved to see the uncut version in a full evening TV show. Laughing

Ladtastic work, y'all! Thumbs up

Here is a photo of the lad in tears as he gets in the cab to head back to Plymouth (just given to me by TM).

Sobbing away, he was crying

Not guilt or remorse for taking part in 419 Fraud, just distressed because he had been caught 'bang to rights'.

@TM, they blurred out your tshirt in the film. I can read it now. Thumbs up

This is just incredible work. I am in awe thinking about what's to come!

^ I am a bit confused about why they blurred out the Monsignor's shirt, but had no problem showing SOOI typing "419 Eater" into Google, and showing off trophies from Eater's past. Must be some legalese thing.

It depends on the context. If SOOI writes it on a screen or they say it during where to find baits and people who does it, it serves a purpose. But if they keep showing t-shirts and caps with logos it would be viewed as product placement.

Off on a tangent bit, but the lad from Plymouth's outfit is typical charity shop fare, horrible blue pinstripe shirt with mismatched and ill-fitting jacket and then "sullied" looking jeans (more visible page 4 1/2 way down) Talk about crimes against fashion. I bet he had ill fitting shoes/cheap trainers to go with all.

SOOI, you've given us our point of view so far and it's looking very good - good odds for turnout etc., how are the film crew - did we get a closeup of the check being given, the rage of the lad at discovering being filmed, tele-sound at the meetings. Translation help at the lads' chatter (expensive). IE. how's the actual filming and admin going?

p.

Delete me again if you dare.

You're a bit late with those questions. It's already been aired. Laughing

But yeah. Those things were filmed. Unfortunately, they didn't make the final edit.

I told him that wasn't going to happen and he got even more upset.
I ended up having to tell him that I was going to throw him into one of the fountains.

As diplomatic as ever....... Laughing

^^^but at least he told him what would happen to him rather than just chucking him in the fountain without warning.

The anger management classes are starting to see some results.

I've never even been to Sweden. I know jack shit about the place except that it's the home of ABBA, mooses and that freak Dr Mike.

Dr Mike was watching the Ray Mears 'Sweden' episode last night and what do you know? Moose (yes, this is the plural of moose) appear. So, Dr M felt moved to leave his old friend SOOI a greeting:

You want to be on the safe side and burn that chair.

And any bedding he's used.

BTW. Where's his other hand?

Channel 4 was comfortable with 'product placement' style close-ups of the brands of my binoculars, van, and webcam, but seemingly not with our website address on my shirt, cap, and mug.

Slightly was obviously on his best behavior. I was fully expecting that scammer at Rame Head to wind up in whatever body of water that is. He really is getting all warm and fuzzy on us.

Looks like two hollowed-out rats.

A derivative of those mock 'ballet' shoes, worn by almost every young girl and even some older women.

Certainly has the figure to carry them off lol

you mean the ones that did my (silly) 14 y.o.daughter's knee in? and I'd guess that my daughter weighs ~80kg less than our scammer lady Wink

Unless I've fallen through a wormhole the programme is on Channel 4 again tonight at 11.00pm repeated again an hour later on Channel 4 + 1.

Of course, I could be hallucinating. Very Happy

More appearance fees huh ?
