and his wife,we cant prove it guys but he has been banned over all our forums he has used multiple accounts and has claimed being broken into a few times getting free tools off members even once getting a new tile cutter and selling it on ,we cant put up with this on UKPF so after consulting the mod team we concluded it was best he left

though as i stated we cant prove this so banning was our only option

I thought the tools thing at the time was a bit suspicious (putting it mildly).
Shyt happens. Easy to hide behind a computer.
BTW i'll be the new DJ on saturday night so if anyone wants a request drop me a pm and i'll give you my paypal details :lol:
 
Oh dear. Was he the lad always asking for work but couldn't drive? Shame when scumbags use peoples good nature for own gains. What was the final straw ?
 
Actually the tile cutter was 2nd hand but only slightly used, the guy that gave it him even paid the postage then found out he was selling it later.
He was also banned at least 3 times before with other identities.
 
Funny thing is I remember someone kicking of when he was put forward for the Arms.
 
What was he banned for before? Any previous names we might remember?

Why did you not like him? In retrospect some comments seemed strange!

Its not tat I didn't
like him he was a plasterer pretending to be a plumber, and actually doing it in people's houses and charging for it!
 
I'll be honest I was taken in completely. As I said before I have an old school friend driven to the brink of suicide over his dyslexia, it wasn't as easily diagnosed back then. It left me with a vulnerability where dyslexia is concerned. Consequently I got snotty and wielded a big stick.

To those of you I upset I apologise. I admit I was blinkered.

no probs you cold aunt
 
I sent this guy two Rothy pipe slices in good faith.....no good turn goes unpunished I suppose. :veryangry2:

:sad3::sick::nonod::sad::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:
 
some little tyke stole my chainsaw, strimmer and most of the contents of my garage a while back, what made me feel better was the chainsaw needed a new roller on the blade guide and i had taken off the chain catcher to do an earlier chain swap and service, so anyone using it would be in for a shock when the chain flicked off :)

I wouldn't be surprised if the theif couldn't sue you for that the way things are now.
 
He used to be on here as something like 'Tiling Spread'.

I recognised his posts style immediately when he came back on.

Fair play to Croppie for fighting his corner. Never stop giving people the benefit of the doubt mate. That's a good trait.

I have met Supper Plumb in the flesh. He sold me something, I can't even remember what it was now, on the forum under his old username. It was a mixed bunch of stuff as he said he was quitting plumbing and going back to plastering. You could probably dig out the old thread somehow. Anyway, I thought it was leggit, I would never knowingly buy nicked tools. I gave most of it away anyway. (The benders I mentioned yesterday). Shame he's a wrong un. That's life.
 
Glad I backed out of having him working for me then!

I'll be honest, I also fell for the dyslexia, and never thought he was getting tools etc. by deception but what decided me not to employ him was that one day he's boasting about having fitted a ballofix, a week later he's claiming to have fitted several full bathroom suites, then a couple of weeks later claimed to have installed full heating systems. Nobody with that kind of experience posts pictures of a ballofix...

Still, I only had him as a bullsh merchant, not a thief...

Shame really...

I've got an old set of gordon grips that jamb the fingers lying somewhere I saw them the other week.
If you want punishment i'll send you them for free if you promise to post photos of your damaged fingers :wink: :lol:
 
i had some fittings off tiling spread as well. oh and he's gone as well (not by me though)

Apology not accepted John as none required.
The world is a changing place from the one we grew up in.
 
He would use the " I am giving up" " going back to plastering " story with the tilers forums too. He made too much of a habit of it though.
 
Hang on, so we don't even think he was dyslexic now?
 
Glad I didn't have any dealings with him/her or whoever they were.

Genuinely feel for the guys that were taken in & affected by his lies. Nobody deserves to be treated like that when all you're trying to do is help a (supposed) fellow tradesman out.

Let's be honest though, no great loss is it.
 
Kyle red dot just appeard on ur chest..... Now one one your head... And another.....
 
Didn't be claim to be on DIY SOS big build the other week? I wonder if this is true now.... or was he on set just to see what freebies were going??

Very true
sure he will be the loser in long run as people where getting used to him and would of helped him out more in long run but now we all will no better
 
Was he the guy who posted a pic of a compression fitting, and had used a roll of PTFE on it? Might be getting people mixed up? I'm sure he rang me looking for a job, might be mistaken
 
Never liked the guy, always thought he was a bit dodgy.

In one post he was a novice needing basic advice, the next he'd done full install work.

Feel sorry for anyone who sent him tools, what a waste.

Maybe we should be more discriminating about who we let in the arms
 
Never had much to do with him due to the way his posts were like, but if he was dyslexic like ten out of two people are in the ku,,,,,,

I quite liked him on a personal level. I was going to take him on to help out on big jobs, but ended up questioning his experience just as you've pointed out above. I don't think we could have known not to let him in the arms, though, could we? He was pretty convincing, just over-inflating his experience and skills which a lot of newbies tend to do mainly because they haven't yet become aware of their limitations. I know I thought straight after college that I knew it all!
 
I thought he was grand to be honest just shoes what a great judge of character I am lol
