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

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.

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

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

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.

A blast from the past

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.

I saw Harj about 3 weeks ago!

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?".

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

He was a local member of the Worcester Scoobies Owned 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 **** is far more worrying

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




Him at A barby meets



His RB320




IIRC

Bonkers.

I remember trying to explain the concept of "forum" to my dad, and using StuH as an example of how useful they were - as he was giving such sound traffic cop advice!

Out of curiosity i just did a search on the SIDC forum for user TDT, the first post it threw up was this White 2.5 Hawkeye Sti Stolen Last Night - Bucks - Subaru Impreza Drivers Club

The post says "People in custody I hope! "

Still not a patch on Paul Bint

'King of the swindlers' jailed for four years | UK news | The Guardian

He "worked" at a few hospitals I have worked at LOL The funniest thing was for most of the time he used his real name
