Simon... the teaser seems to be working as desired, so:
How long will it take to finish?
How will it be distributed?
Do you REALLY own a yacht?
And please no grammar mistakes, don't forget the age old "you're" and "your"

How long to finish?
I'm not getting suckered into that one again!
I really can't say.. it depends on a number of factors. But I may release it in installments if it starts to drag out. I have two chapters written so far.
How will it be distributed?
Probably on eBook.
Do you REALLY own a yacht?
Where else would I land my helicopter? The heliport at Monte Carlo is too far from my apartment!

Excellent thread Simon. We've had cross words, and the odd negative comment has been posted elsewhere (*cough TRL *cough* - This chapter could be interesting/worrying, depending on my mood ), but putting a contract out on you is taking things ever so slightly too far.
Topics I'm curious about...
The copper who wasn't (We was robbed by Mr H )
When SN1 "went dark" all those years ago (I have a theory on this one )
Pikeys - The truth about the lovable caravan dwelling rouges (Did the Smith family get a tiny bit upset? )

Just to aid clarity I will use my "normal" account to make comment on this thread!
Make no mistake, this will be the "no holds barred" gospel according to SDB.
Be afraid..... very afraid.
Whilst I appreciate 95% of the community will find this an utterly great read..... 5% may find some things quite un-nerving being out in the public domain.
I have a feeling this will be known in history as "ScoobyGate".
AWESOME..... the day of reckoning is upon us!
Come on Simon..... get it finished!
Regards,
Shaun

[/SIZE][/FONT] "eh? A search about what?"
"I dunno mate, but it can't be a good thing considering the circumstances."
"Well, quite. Can you find out who?"
"I have done. Its him... and there's something else." he said, nervously. "it looks like he's put a contract out on you."
"You're f*cking kidding me!? This is getting way out of hand, my f*cking wife's in the house! Hold on". I walked out of my office and leant over the stairwell, "Emma! Just check the door's locked sweetheart, I'll be down in a minute."
I walked back into my office and closed the door quietly behind me. "Right, I want this f*cking sorted, and I mean right now. Its only a f*cking forum for God's sake".
Frustrated with me, he said "Yeah, I KNOW Simon, but like I've been saying, that's who you're dealing with. He's a psycho!".
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] "OK, here's the deal. I want as much dirt on the b*stard as possible, and I want it in my hands for tomorrow night. I'll deal with it from there."

ScoobyGate, very funny. Another alternative thread title I thought of was:
Everything you wanted to know about ScoobyNet*
*But were afraid to ask (for fear of being banned)
I know I'll probably cringe at some point during the book

This should be a good read, and for those that dont believe the pyscho bit, I help run a few forums and you would not believe the lengths people go to to try and mess things up, and they are small forums compared to this.
