The profs gone?! That man was a genius and terribly patient, not to mention polite and friendly... That's a real loss to the science section.

As to the other... Well, we'll see, I suspect he's never too far away.

There is a Fr Bill who is an american vicar - is he the same as our Bill Haymaker?

[JK2]

I am pleased to find that I am not alone in my thinking. When I posted something similar months ago, when Fr. Bill first appeared, I was castigated by numerous people.

Fashions and trends change with time JK2.

Bit OT - but can anyone tell me how Ward-Minters wife and child died ?

I promise to explain all if someone can enlighten me ?

[China Doll]

Blimey jack, I'm not Minters greatest fan (or greatest enemy actually) but I do think that's something you should ask him the next time you cross post. It's a bit personal like.

[jackthehat]

China...........Ward Minter has been accused of 'creating' a wife and child and a scenario regarding their demise..............JohnLambert seems to know about this........and it is a 'well-known fact' for those on-line when it was posted...........I never saw it but have been watching whilst it has been referred to......
I would be interested to know just what was supposed to have happened..............

JK2 -I just simply sat back amd waited until you all saw the light.

I posted a few times on an extremely horrendous topic.I have a family but on those occasions I didnt reach out to them and came to AB.He didnt post on my threads --perhaps he saw the cynic in me -lol

What made some of you change so suddenly - I remember posts when I first joined where VV was praised so much by so many of you. I even recall he had a thread in his honour; dedicated to how wonderful he was. I am sure psychologists would have a term for what is going on here - 'you' hyped him up so much and now he is paying the price. I just hope you are right, because if you are not, a truly admirable man is getting some bad press here.

[jackthehat]

The thread in his honour was composed by Ward-Minter..............

[Drisgirl]

LOL -I never hyped him up 'Toby' -i've have had enough to deal with as they say in good ole U s of A -wake up and smell the coffee .

BTW - Toby I never praised him but neither diissed him -I merely distrust him -huge difference.

Did anyone else think the PC,TV and Video appeal was somewhat akin to Bob Geldofs Live Aid appeal?

I posted saying I might have a video in my loft and a workmate of mine lived near oldgrape and could possibly deliver but got no response

And I also had doubts about why a PC,TV and Video was such a necessity

Oh well, shift up on the bench to hell, room for one more?

[dot.hawkes]

but where is old grape?

I'm still slightly baffled why anyone should think they can 'trust' or 'distrust' anyone who is simply a username on the internet. Even websites that appear to support their claim can be easily enough fabricated. The only test of anyone online is whether what they say makes sense.

[webstar]

I remember reading that Fr Bill had visited old grape in hospital, I think it was after a miscarriage (but don't quote me on that).

[Octavius]

Thats you jiggered then jno!

Whilst I found Fr B somewhat intriguing, I could rarely find the time nor energy to read each volume or 3 part answer and came to find it a bit irksome actually!

I don't really care who or what he/she is but the people I find most interesting and helpful are the ones who provide good, honest and intelligent advice in one concise post, rather than stretching for 2 or 3 with big words when it ain't really necessary.

So is Fr. Bill a conman ? What he said as to where he lived made sense as not far from me , and the web site looked legit
he is probably now on holiday in a hot and sunny climate ? Win some , lose some !!!!!

[theonlyone]

The church is still there which he had on his site and his last address, no idea about the man in question . So maybe a scammer and also "Old Grape "

[JK2]

theonlyone, if you are referring to St Pauls church in Bexhill. the Minister in charge there, the Rev Gadsen, has categorically stated - in writing- that Fr Bill has no connection with that church and never has had..
