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?)
), but putting a contract out on you is taking things ever so slightly too far.Topics I'm curious about...

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.
