You need to be older than that..... this is around the time of 2000 when even John was still sucking his thumb!

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!

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?".

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!

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
