ROFLOL

They were the good old days, hey John! :D

John..........I'm old enought to remember you running your can in during a *very* long trip to Scotland. But Who's Stuart Howartson?

Shaun

You need to be older than that..... this is around the time of 2000 when even John was still sucking his thumb! :D Christ.... I have just realised that I have been a part of "this community" for 10yrs now! :D :cry:

Back in the early days of the Internet, we all learned a lot about Internet persona's back then eh Shaun!

Stuart H used to post on here, passing himself off as a serving Police Officer. I met him once when on a trip to the USA, he came to meet me at Heathrow saying he was going to be working there that day. When he turned up he was dressed in a 3 piece suit and said he had just got off the helicopter with Tony Blair who he escorted from chequers, as he was his protection officer for the day, hence his out of uniform getup. Shortly after this whilst i was abroad he was rumbled by Anders on 22B.com, go there and you will find a bit more info.

He used to say some pretty outlandish things, such as his girlfriend was Charlotte off watchdog (remember her?), and his mate was Clare from Steps. The guy certainly had some front, he was very convincing even face to face.

Do a search for Stuart H as a username to see who he said he was back then.

Charlotte Hudson, very nice.

John,
You failed to explain HOW he got rumbled!?!

Taking it up the "poop shoot" springs to mind! :eek: I bet Anders did not know where to look when he opened the door! :cry:

Yeh, that all happened when i was over in the USA, Anders wrote a rather detailed story but took it down as it was a bit graphic. :eek:

John..........yep, Found him. Lots of plod / legal speak LOL Seemed to have dropped off SN's radar January 2001. A year before I joined :D

Shaun

I remember StuartH very well indeed - he would give people advice on Police issues all the time ....... most were taken in by him - that's 10 years ago!!

Have I been entertaining the troops for THAT long :eek: I need to get a life!! :lol1:

SN is your life ;)

wasn't he the fat security guard who pretended to be plod?

p.s. need some more felstead writeups like the legendary running in journey

Think I remember him, remember CraigH more though :lol1:

Pete, you have been around as long as the ark, you remember everyone ;)

Tony:)

He wasn't Fat, that would be Harj. :D

who can you trust on here:Suspiciou:D

A blast from the past :eek:

Wasn't Harj prone to exaggeration or perhaps I am thinking of someone else. New Ferraris etc.

One of the entertaining guys at the time was a guy from overseas (Middle East?) who had a thing about P!s - ring any bells?

Hi John.

dl

I saw Harj about 3 weeks ago! :D

He is HALF of the man he used to be and I mean HALF! He has lost about 7stone and I swear to god, if he walked past you in the street (and you obviously knew him before lol) you would not recognise him. I ONLY reason I knew it was him was because I saw his brother as well.

My mate (who also knows Harj) looked him straight in the face and did not recognise him. He then went on to say "Did you have to change your appearance as you had stiffed that many people?". :cry:

He was very convincing but there were a few porkies we spotted ;)

He was a local member of the Worcester Scoobies ;) Owned :rolleyes: Blobeye WRX, a Hawkeye STi and a RB320

I'VE meet his wife, baby and Mother in Law. "They" were very VERY nice People it is a True shame whats happened to them.

Not too concerned about him being a Con-man BUT the Child porn is far more worrying :o

He Also posted as "TDT" on SIDC, RB320 & RB5 owners clubs

Did you know he used to post as Stuart H on here Tony? If so did that ever come up in conversation?

They do say the truth can be stranger than fiction!

No never knew it was him till now!!!!
