Foetus - although I never met him, I think Limerick Mick was quite a big unit. Looked a bit like Jim Broadbent (Roy Slater in Only Fools and Horses). He was a self-proclaimed 'forum good guy' although in three or four years of baiting him on here I never saw that side of him; he was always a complete **** imo.

Btw, I'm guessing you are Harchi / HM? What did you get banned for this time?

he's not only been alain, but he's also been other tipsters (female as well as male)
he's also turned up as professional punters, army officers, etc., most of them to talk to himself on the forums and give some credence to his more outlandish claims.

The posting privileges of certain forumites mentioned earlier on this thread appear to have been suspended due to fears that they may disclose sensitive information regarding certain operational procedures currently being carried out by various government departments and military bodies . The legal representatives of these aformentioned forumites are currently in discussions with a number of media outlets regarding the publishing of the specific details of these potentially illegal activities but until they receive guarantees of anonimity and immunity from prosecution they will sadly remain ex-contributors to an otherwise excellent forum .
