Racist paysite CATcrap shares donators personal information. UPDATED 2 NOV

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: CATcorp, CATcrap, EULA, information sharing, money, paypal, paysites, Racist, subscription — coconut @ 23:54

Not TSR related, however this lowlife bottom feeder CATcorp seems to have all the credentials necessary to join the pond life over at TSR.

This began when the popular freesite Sunset Sims posted a ‘leaked’ payfile from the desperate Russian paysite, CATcorp. CATcorp reacted in a fashion that would make any TSR groupie proud - She illegally posted the IP, full name, full home address and E-mail address of a random paypal donator. Twice. If that is not shocking enough here’s the reason why.. Sunset sims is a Spanish site, so CATcorp has now decided that the entire Spanish community are all ‘thieves’. The donator to this small time paysite is also Spanish, and even though this person was kind enough to give CATcorp money, she took the money and posted her PRIVATE info and labelled her a ‘thief’ simply because she is Spanish. YES, you read that right, she was named and shamed as a thief solely because she has the same nationality as the free site Sunsetsims! This is absolutely disgusting and racist to the core. CATcorp has also banned anyone who is Spanish from using her downloads.

Anyone donating money to CATcorp should think again. If you are not Spanish you may think that this does not affect you, but what if a site from the US/UK/AUS/Asia posts one of her downloads? You would be wrongly labelled as a thief if you share a nationality with any site she takes a dislike to and it could be your private details up on her site next.

The screencap below was taken on a translated page, translated from Russian to English. The private information she illegally posted has been edited out by me.

She repeated the information again further down the page… Click on ’more’ for more!

TSR surveys members personal info

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: greed, information sharing, lies, money, part-time prison guard, paypal, paysites, sims 3, steve bonham, the sims resource, true face, tsr — coconut @ 22:35

TSR now have an open poll asking members personal questions such as your age, are you employed, how much your total household income is, how smart you are, what you buy online… payment for this personal info is an entry into their usually fixed prize draw and an old subscriber hair from ex FA Newsea. Apparantly, according to T$R, knowing how much money your family earns will help them plan the future of the site. Hmm…

If you need the hair, DO NOT GIVE TSR YOUR PERSONAL INFO! Just get it here for FREE, no questions asked

EA mole gives IP of complainant to hackers.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: coconut, EA, EULA, greed, Gullible, hacking, information sharing, lies, money, Part-time prison guard with self importance issues, paysites, Pedophile, pervert, pescado, pirates, PMBD, Sherrie Dandan, sims 2, sims 2 downloads, sims 3, steve bonham, the sims resource, thomas, thomass, trojans, true face, tsr — coconut @ 23:15

EA Has committed a huge breach of confidentiality and security by not only passing on the complaint, but also the IP of the complainant to TSR. Furthermore a complaint that was meant to go to EA’s legal department was blocked from arriving there by EA’s community manager, Sherrie Dandan. Sherrie also alerted TSR on the number of complaints they have received and how they were submitted at the same time as thanking TSR for their bribe ‘gift’ sent to their offices.

This resulted in the WRONG person getting the blame for making the complaint, causing a 13 year old girl to have her online accounts hacked. The girls mother had not made the complaint she was accused of, instead she complained to TSR over what she deemed was inappropriate messages between Thomas and her child over MSN.

I checked the IP’s myself and it is pretty clear that the girl and her mother have completely different IP’s to the complainant. Steve would know this, which makes me think that the whole blame game was manipulated by Steve/TSR in order to ’show off’ a series of Emails between Steve and the EA community manager to prove Steve’s point that EA really do not give a shit who gets hacked. The girls mother had previously asked for advice on the shoutbox here, ( 27th May ) it was a pretty safe bet she would be back in contact when she was blamed for something she did not do, thus showcasing Steve’s validation of EA support.

Below are screencaps of the entire communication, with the childs name/email removed and IP of the real complainant. Sorry about repeat lines, it was the only way I could screencap this in several shots while showing that there is nothing missing from the original. As with all fowarded emails, it may be a good idea to read from the bottom upward to get the full gist and context of the email exchange between Steve and the mole. Also available in TEXT versions for translators.

TEXT VERSION HERE!

TEXT VERSION HERE

It is fair to add the deletion of this young girls account is NOT the issue here, as this was the wish of her parents. The issue is TSR hacking into her EA account to make her believe EA had banned her for making a complaint and that they also hacked her Twitter/google/youtube and deleted her personal videos of something they knew meant a lot to her.

TEXT VERSION HERE

We have learned many things from the communications between Sherrie Dandan ( EA community Manager ) and Steve Bonham ( TSR joint admin and part time prison guard )

Sherrie Dandan is willing to block all complaints intended for EA legal.
Sherrie Dandan is willing to share private communications intended for EA legal.
Sherrie Dandan is willing to share a paying customers IP with the group they have just revealed as hackers.
Sherrie Dandan is willing to give TSR the number of complaints received ( and blocked from reaching their destination. )
Sherrie Dandan is willing to accept ‘gifts’ from TSR.
Sherrie Dandan is willing to believe that all complaints stem from my blog ( which this did not ) despite Steve/TSR not providing proof that anyone connected with this blog sent it.
Sherrie Dandan is willing believe, then go on to accuse this blog of being a ‘pirating site’ despite no pirated content being on this site, furthermore – I personally, until now, have paid for every game and expansion pack I own and have done since The Sims 1. It is false accusations such as this that make me, and other falsely accused players pay more attention to sites such as MOONSIMS or FREE SIMS STORE when looking for future content.
Sherrie Dandan believes that because this site is hosted by someone who hosts another site that has ‘pirated’ store content submitted on his forum… that makes ME a pirate. That is like saying that everyone who has a blogger account with google are pirates because somewhere there is a blogger account that hosts pirated content…. That is beyond stupid.
Sherrie Dandan believes Steve when he says that all my screencaps are edited and can be clearly seen with pixel zoom. Clearly Sherrie believes this on face value and has never once examined any of my screencaps to see that this is a blatent lie. She also believes the vast amount of the community and sites that supply information here do not exist because I made them up. Who does she think are buying the games?. Most screencaps come with a link to the site they are on and yet Sherrie believes I own all these sites too.
Steve has supplied several ‘quotes’ from Coconut including “well I don’t care, I still think it was TSR so our accusation stands” and a ‘vow from me to bring down TSR because I was a failed FA’. Both quotes completely made up and with no truth to them whatsoever, but Sherrie has chosen to believe this with no links or proof that any of these ‘quotes’ where ever made outside of Steves imagination.
Sherrie Dandan believes that followers of this blog were asking TSR members for their passwords despite NO ONE ever complaining this has EVER happened, nor any proof showing that any reader of this blog was involved. Why would they need a pass to TSR anyway? FA accounts are IP controlled meaning that unless you are using a computer in that FA’s house you can not access the account, and on the notion that all our readers are ‘pirates’ they wouldn’t need a subscriber account when the booty/ Sunset sims offers free TSR subscriber downloads with no account needed. No brainer really.
Sherrie Dandan believes Steve when he says that a site that runs a business by manipulating EA made meshes and reselling the content against the EULA is a fansite. You can get full stolen games for free from the pirate bay… they must be superfans!
Sherrie Dandan does not believe screencaps, witness statements, emails, complaints or Steves own contracting statements ( see myths and lies) only the word of one man(?) compared to the word of countless paying customers.
Steve believes his job description …” I work for the Government in Criminal Justice” Sounds better than “I’m a prison guard”
In all this we have learned that Steve is a liar, he will use any means to boast about his relationship with EA, TSR have once again hacked a childs account and that Sherrie Dandan is profoundly stupid.
You have also learned to use other means of complaining to get your complaints heard in the right department and to state why you do not wish your complaints to go through a half wit who accepts bribes gifts from hackers.
EA have left themselves wide open to legal action from the real complainant. Congratulations.

Sherrie A. Dandan’s Experience

Community Manager – The Sims

Electronic Arts

Public Company; 5001-10,000 employees; ERTS; Computer Games industry

March 2008– Present (4 years 4 months)

- Managing and growing The Sims community on TheSims3.com and TheSims2.com websites and social networks

- Distribute daily, weekly, and monthly reports on community outreach and growth
- Composing copy for news items and descriptions for virtual goods
- Organizing fan events
- Arranged accommodations, venues, services while staying within limited budgets

I can not find anywhere in her job description where it says she has the power to decide what is forwarded to EA legal and what is instead forwarded to hackers. Most companies have a policy that all communications mentioning legal action should be forwarded to the legal dept, I have not heard of any company who deem it ok to forward the complaint to friends/hackers and ridicule the complainant while hiding the complaint from the legal dept.

Sherrie Dandan - EA Mole

If anyone at EA believes these sceencaps are edited I will be happy to forward the original mails to anyone other than Sherrie Dandan, who already knows these are real.

UPDATE:

The person who did write the complaint to EA, and had her info shared with TSR by EA Mole Sherrie Dandan has now decided to take legal action.

URGENT WARNING: NEWSEA HACKED – 3,322 usernames, emails and passwords leaked online.

Filed under: The Sims Resource, Uncategorized — Tags: Blackmail, featured artists, greed, hacking, impersonation, information sharing, lies, money, Newsea, paysites, sims 2, sims 3, steve bonham, subscription, subscriptions, the sims resource, theft, thomas, thomass, true face, tsr — coconut @ 23:51

NEWSEA, a rival site to TSR has been hacked and the data of 3,322 of its users has been posted online.

CHANGE ALL OF YOUR PASSWORDS NOW.

Unlike the last information leak, where 614 people had their names email address shared on the grapevine, this new leak is far more dangerous, the online list not only contains usernames and emails, but your PASSWORDS and your country of origin and and some full names.

I understand there are rumors already in the community, and in some cases these rumors are not being believed, I can confirm that I have seen the full list online and I can not stress how urgent it is that you take action to change your passwords. The information is listed in this format: id - username - email – password - firstname - lastname - country

On May the 10th, a few members of staff were approached, and on May 11th were given subscriber passes to Newsea. The idea was to download and share Newsea subscriber only files through torrent sites in an attempt to damage the Newsea business and limit their monetary income. I was under the impression that TSR had bought the subscriptions. Shortly after, I heard that Newsea was willing to sell the site to TSR and return as FA. Talks broke down apparently when Tom accused Newsea of being greedy and wanting far too much for the site, I have no idea what Newsea asked for or what he was offered, but whatever it was, Tom said it was too much but he was certain Newsea would be back with ‘his tail between his legs’. Yesterday I was told that every member of Newsea has had their username, email name and password leaked online. Shortly before this news went public, TSR posted a cryptic and confusing message on their front page.

“TSR members are being targeted in the community by people trying to cause trouble. Please remember that nobody from TSR will ever ask for your password for the site. If anyone approaches you on Facebook, Forums or Chat, claiming to be from TSR and asking you for your login details, do not give them out!”

You may wonder what is so cryptic and confusing about this message? For a start the first paragraph is the focus of events that have never happened, there have been no reports of anyone being approached on facebook, forums or chat by anyone asking for login details. This part of the statement is clearly just an opener and just an excuse to make an announcement so that they can get to the second paragraph..

Passwords stored at TSR are encrypted. ( No they are not. ) Staff, Admins and Mods do not have access to your passwords used, ( some staff and all admins do. )

“but not all sites work that way.” Now we are getting to the point of this announcement .. Sites like Newsea? How perceptive of TSR to know that a rival site was about to have it’s entire unencrypted data leaked online. How thoughtful of TSR to let us know how *cough* secure their site is and how unsecure rival sites may be. We could have done without the demonstration.

This has not just been a hack, it has started with blackmail. With this being posted on or around April 27th

Followed by attempts from TSR to damage the business through sharing.

When Newsea refused to sell and rejoin TSR for what was probably a very low offer, the information gathered from the site was released to the public. ( ..after the careful removal of TSR FA accounts! ) You do not need me to explain what this means to the 3,322 people who have had their emails and passwords displayed for all to see, or the damage to the reputation of Newseas site.

Still not convinced that TSR are liars? TSR have even gone as far as writing words in Newsea’s TSR blog, that were not written by Newsea and replying to messages that were not replied to by Newsea -In fact Newsea have NO access to their own TSR blog. What kind of respectable site would impersonate an artist through blog posts and messages while locking them out of their own account. That in itself is illegal.

Newsea says: “Please do not give the newsea of TSR site message! because the account has been modified by the TSR, we do not have the permissions of that account, all speak of the newsea of TSR site not what we say!”

Hacking. Blackmail. Impersonation. This is how low TSR will go to destroy the competition. For those who have very little sympathy for a paysite like Newsea, remember that paysites are not the only rival to TSR.

TSR, EA and YOU!

Filed under: The Sims Resource, Uncategorized — Tags: Community Leeches, ddos, denial of service attacks, EA, EULA, greed, hacking, information sharing, lies, money, paysites, pirates, PMBD, sims 2 downloads, sims 3, subscription, subscriptions, The Mafia, the sims resource, theft, thomas, thomass, trojans, true face, tsr — coconut @ 12:38

You may think that reporting problems such as this to EA has never been of any benefit, that perhaps it is a waste of your time and that EA have done nothing. Think again. Since TSR adopted a ‘Mafia’ attitude and EA have been hearing about it in many corners, a whole lot has changed already. You would have to be blind not to notice that the glowing support EA once had for TSR has dwindled to nothing. When was the last time TSR had an exclusive on a new exp or stuff pack? ( Not counting the Medieval ‘exclusive’ Steve had to scan from PC Format magazine! ) Hell, EA did not even trust them to preview KP sweet treats! When were they last interviewed by EA? When was the last time someone… anyone? from EA appeared in their forums …..A long time ago.

At the end of the day EA are a business, and yes it makes great business sense to keep on good terms with ‘the largest site in the sims community’. EA may be slow on the uptake, but even they can see now that TSR is only the ‘largest’ because they have been open for 12 years. ( not the longest, as TSR claim, but certainly a long time .) A vast percentage of all their members did not join TSR as it is today, they joined the free community site that it was in 1999, before it was sold off as a money spinning business to the Isakssons. None of the members amassed throughout the years can delete their own accounts or uploads. So that is 12 years of joining with 0 people allowed to leave, you do the math. If they were a regular cult they would need their own country by now. TSR masks itself as a happy place, no negative comments are allowed and until recently candy sweet good comments were rewarded with free subscription days. ( Kudos) Good artists appeared to be dumping their own sites just for the pleasure of working for the popular TSR, and the padded download stats look great. No wonder EA believed the hype. It was only after the dirty dealings and lies came to light that EA have finally distanced themselves from the monster they created. Many of these incidents only came to light because you, the community decided to tell them.

What EA thought was a good business move in ‘turning a blind eye’ to the EULA ( for what seemed like the good of the community at the time ) ended up crushing a large proportion of the true fan community. The free pass that TSR thinks they have has gone right to their heads. Appearing as the largest sims site is not good enough anymore, they want to be the only sims site. This, thankfully, will never happen but while a money crazed madman believes this is possible, many fan sites are still closing due to the hackings, false file or site TOU reports, virus infections or buy outs. Yes, the community has survived and it will continue to, but think how much bigger and better the community would have been now if TSR had not attacked/targeted so many ‘rival’ websites, and continue to do so. This has a direct effect on EA/The Sims franchise. How many of these sites that TSR forced to close, the people TSR has hunted and harassed, the creators forced to quit and the children they exposed to goatse porn just for the shock value have given up on the game completely? CC and the community play a big part in the enjoyment of the game for many, and how many times do you read someone saying that the community is not the same and not fun anymore, reasons usually cited is because their friends have left, favorite sites/forums are gone, their own sites have been attacked or they are being bullied or dictated to. TSR are mentioned directly in 99% of these comments and not in a good way.

The problem is that we, the community are fully aware of all this, mostly everyone has either been on the receiving end or knows someone who has. EA are only aware of what we tell them. How else can they find out? Most forums who speak about this do it in the members only sections for fear of TSR reprisals, Websites are afraid of becoming targets for hackings so they say nothing, those that do usually get the content removed via TOU reports/hacks. Not many post in the EA forums for fear of being ridiculed by TSR trolls. Websites are bullied for providing links to information sources such as this blog, the phorum or PMBD. TSR FA’s ever so sweetly join popular forums, this discourages any negative TSR posts from appearing. ( TSR refers to them as TSR ambassadors. ) With so much dust being swept under the carpet, you can see why EA may find it difficult to understand why TSR are so bad for the community, especially when TSR tell them again and again that anyone speaking against TSR are ‘pirates’ who pirate EA content, that anyone speaking against TSR are also against EA.

This is where You can help. If you are one of the many unlucky people attacked by TSR, whether it is through hacking, TOU/TOS reports, take down notices, nasty messages/emails, demands for links or removal of links, lost money on a subscription, leaked private details or any instance where TSR have directly ruined or spoiled your enjoyment of the game and the community you need to tell EA about it. Be sure to show them screencaps of messages, forward emails of demands and threats, forward take down reports. Let them know how this affects you and your enjoyment of the game you paid for. ( Yes this will take a little of your time, but I am sure rebuilding your website, finding new hosts or begging Mediafire to reinstate your own content took longer. ) If you are too afraid, downhearted or TSR has made it impossible for you to make or continue with your Sims fansite, LET EA KNOW! This not only effects you, it effects EA and the exposure of their product.

Do not expect direct action or even a good response from EA, your goal is to simply make them aware of the effect TSR is having on you and the community. EA already know enough to sever links with TSR, now they need to see the full extent of the damage TSR is doing. It is doubtful they will ever take legal action against TSR, they are probably still under the impression they would upset a lot of TSR’s fictional fans and ‘members’ but at the very least they should clarify the legality of a site that exists only to make money by manipulating EA made content. TSR are not fans of the game or the community, in any shape or form. You can not even truly describe them as a ‘business’ as they disregard any controls that would make a business legitimate. TSR are simply opportunists and leeches. EA’s reluctance to commit to their own EULA and say that such ‘business’ practices are wrong have created a monster and they need to stuff it back in it’s box.

What TSR fail to compute is that the EULA still stands and EA can at any time pull the plug on TSR simply by clarifying that The Sims franchise is owned by EA and it was never designed to be exploited by 3rd party sites as a business venture, it was designed for the enjoyment of paying EA customers and should not be the subject of turf wars and the fallout associated with the criminal activities they use to maintain their cashflow.

Hacked, TOS’d and victim of a cruel ‘April Fool’ UPDATED

Filed under: The Sims Resource — Tags: cruel April Fool, false reports, Gnomes that hack, greed, hacking, Happy Easter from Toma$$, information sharing, lies, Mediafire, Petty. Bitter. Little. Man, sims 3, the sims resource, theft, thomas, thomass, tsr, zveki — coconut @ 14:56

Most people celebrate Easter by eating chocolate or going to church, Tom celebrates it by sacrificing a member of the free community, I guess he was all out of goats.

TSR Thomas has yet again destroyed the work of a talented creator and freesite owner. This time not only did he file blatant false TOS reports, hack him and then release some personal information, he also made his victim the subject of a cruel ” Late April Fools” joke and has spent most of the day laughing at him.

Some of you may know ZVEKI from sites such as LivingSims or TheBlackPearl and also his Tumblr website. On his site he had some Sims 3 downloads that were converted from TS2 meshes, a few of these meshes were originally made by TSR artists. TSR demanded he remove these downloads from his site, Which he immediately did, although he was doing nothing illegal or unethical in hosting these – in fact by TSR’s own standards this practise is totally acceptable, such as when TSR take a mesh from a TS2 base game, stuff pack, or expansion and convert them, they claim the rights to the converted mesh belongs to them and therefore is theirs to sell, so by these standards the rights to the converted meshes now belong to ZVEKI. Even so, Zveki was kind enough to take them down from his site and they were instead hosted at sunsetsims. All the downloads that remained belonged to Zveki and had nothing to do with TSR.

Tom, unwilling to let this rest then decided to report EVERY download left on the site, he filed a false report to Mediafire stating that these remaining downloads were the property of TSR and were stolen by Zveki, as a result all his downloads on his site and on other sites were deleted by Mediafire.

On the same day Zveki’s YouTube channel was hacked and all his videos , all the files he was working on and over 1000 subscribers were lost, his account name was changed to ‘I STEAL FROM BIGGER AND BETTER ARTISTS’ and his telephone number was displayed on the page.

It gets sicker.. Tom has been laughing about it all day. What Tom has found really funny is that he spoke to Zveki and has somehow convinced him to go after someone called LaChandra, saying that she took down Zvekis downloads because she is working for ‘pirates’. The part of the ‘joke’ that Tom did not share with Zveki is that LaChandra is part of the Anti piracy team at Mediafire, and although she may have technically been the one to remove the downloads, she did it because of a direct report ( A LIE ) from Thomas himself. Tom is calling Zveki a “late April Fool” and he cannot wait to see him publically accuse a member of the Mediafire team of being a ‘pirate’ and a hacker.

Tom says he did this because of Zvekis association with Sunsetsims, although this is just a pathetic excuse because he was targeting him before he hosted some of his files there.

Although gleefully joking about his false TOU report, Tom has not openly claimed responsibility for the YouTube hack, (..he has not denied it either ) However the fact that the hack was done on very the same day as his false report and also how he referred to the hack before it was publicised raises no doubts in my mind that this was another TSR hack to add to his collection.

To put a cherry on the cake, Tom has also banned Zveki from TSR for life, although this is not a bad thing, at least he cannot steal any more updated passwords/personal info from his account. Sadly, as a result of TSR’s harassment, Zveki has announced that he is no longer creating for the Sims. I wish he would reconsider and not make this too easy for that smug little b’stard.

Word of warning to Tom, while reading the TOU on your many visits to Mediafire did you read right to the end? No? Better up the subs at TSR, you may have a bill coming…

Updated 17th March – Simbecile’s blog update

In addition to her blog, I have now been informed that Simbecile’s box.net account was also hacked, and that “gross content was left behind” This is TSR’s MO. I am shocked and saddened to hear that Simbecile is a 16 year old girl. I understand that over at Blackpearlsims they are trying to recover her lost files, Simbecile is also known as Alfie on BPS, so if you have any files from either Simbecile or Alfie please contact her or blackpearlsims.

9th March 2011: Since I have written the last article it seems that more sites have been attacked. The latest being GOS , Cherryblossom sims forum, bitethebullet and colorsims. Crissi tells me that Cherryblossomsims forum has been under massive attack over the last few days. I do not know the nature of the attack as yet, but the reported IP is the same one that attacked GOS, which belongs to TSR. The same goes for Bitethebullet and colorsims, S1mOne reports that bitethebullet is also under continued attack since last week and the same is happening to coloursims. Bitethebullet was last hacked in Oct 2010, the IP of the hacker belonged to the TSR proxy.

If you know of a site that has been hacked/DDossed/TOU attacked please give them all the help that you can. You can help by suggesting alternative hosting, recovering any lost files if you have ever downloaded them, taking new item screen shots for those who have lost photo accounts, donating to their site if you can, linking to their new site if they have to change url or offering kind words, support and a friendly ear. These sites are the backbone of our community and we can not afford to lose them.

I have heard from SIMplyEdward , He was one of 3 forumotion sites that got hacked. His site was hacked 3 times. He has provided the IP: 74.55.11.66 This IP traces back to THEPLANET.COM INTERNET SERVICES. The same place as the TSR proxy, which is the paid proxy from the hide IP network, that was provided to Atwa as a gift from Tom and Per back in 2008. It was later provided to all main staff at TSR, for use with ‘trolling’

The proxy is part of the hide IP network and has 2 bands of IPs, one band traces to the UK with the hosts rapidswitch, ( Found on Gayles forum and involved in the hacking of sims secret http://tsr.mustbedestroyed.org/?p=462 ) and the other band traces to the US with the host THEPLANET.COM. ( The same trace as the proxy IP found on Toms account at MTS and the IP that hacked BuggyBooz account there. 70.85.179.186 )

I have a copy of this myself, and although that particular IP is not on it, the US trace is the same, so they may be using an older or newer version of the program. While it is notable that other staff do have access to this proxy supplied by TSR, they do not have access to the database or to the unencrypted passwords, Such information could only be supplied by Tom, Steve, Per, Johan or Micke.

Thomas ‘Rocky’ Isacsson in home address leak threat

“It’s time to make this personal.”

That is the threat coming from TSR in response to me publishing Simspiration related ‘exclusives’. Tom has it in his somewhat tiny brain that I downloaded these from the site using a code that I could have only got by buying the Simspiration magazine, in doing so I would have had to have provided my name and home address. By taking logs of all magazine codes used in the days leading up to the leak, Tom has made himself quite a large list of innocent subscribers, mistakenly convinced my name and address is among them. He is now openly threatening to “make this personal”

I highly doubted that he would indeed release this info, as I do not think this could be achieved without it coming back and slapping him in the face, and it would most certainly put an end to the magazine they are so desperately trying to get off the ground.

Tom then went ahead and released the info, although not to the general public, it was public enough so that I ( and quite a few others ) could see it, which I suspect was the whole underlying motive in a “hey look Coconut I have your address somewhere in here” kind of way.

Actually he has not got my address in there, but after his latest comment I really wish he had.

Go Rocky! But I do see a problem with this, due to the fact Tom is vertically challenged ( short as a gnome ) He would be extremely lucky to manage to punch me in the kneecap, to punch me in the face he would need to come armed with a couple of boxes and some climbing gear borrowed from his ken doll.

Would he punch every woman he meets in face, or is it just me?

Tonights meeting has now been rescheduled to Sunday. I have heard it will be in fancy dress, I will go as a ninja, Tom is rumoured to be going as a little green armyman.
