Bouncing Billy Barker William Scruton

This topic is about William (Bill) Scruton from Gorton in Manchester. Otherwise known as “Bouncing Billy Barker” and occasionally as “Springheel Jack”.

This page is to complement the information page here: www.Billy Barker.co.uk

I have secured some space on this blog in order that people can submit their comments and memories. Since the Billy Barker Information Page went up a couple of years ago, I have received quite a few e-mails from people who remembered him. I have received other emails and photos by e-mail from many people related to Billy; many of whom were researching their family tree and just found out they were related to him by chance.… Click here to continue reading this article

Lee Johnson 4 Fox St Hollinwood Oldham OL8 3ST leeseat123

Another eBay miscreant to place on the public record here. This guy bids on stuff on eBay and then doesn’t pay.  He doesn’t respond to e-mails nor does he make any contact at all. This inconveniences sellers because they become liable for final value fees on the goods they have supposedly sold to this joker.

In order to get those fees refunded, they must go through a whole rigmarole with eBay and wait two weeks.

eBay prevents sellers from leaving negative feedback for buyers – this means normal people remain blissfully unaware of such people.… Click here to continue reading this article

Russian Wife – For Better or Worse

In some cases worse. That is when a man marries the wrong woman, or sometimes when a guy is clueless. The reasons can vary; some people just get it wrong. Read this tale and see what you think:

I feel the need to tell my story. It’s the story of my marriage to a Russian lady. A marriage I thought was perfect which has descended into a futile exercise of tolerance on my part of a woman so pig headed, manipulative and selfish I can’t believe.

It’s a bit of a read but in order to get an idea of from where we started to where we are today I thought it best to include our full history.

Scammed or Dumped in Odessa?

This tale is indicative of how some men imagine they have been scammed by a “Russian Dating Scammer” – but in fact they have merely been dumped and/or were hoping to date hopelessly out of their league. Here is Richey’s tale………

I just got back from Odessa where I was to meet a woman i have been talking to for over a year. The last night she told me she wanted me to come back and we would keep in touch over emails. I have been home over a month now and still havent heard from her.

Dyson 4 four prong pole terminal on off power switch DC04

Looking for a four prong (pole/terminal) Dyson on/off switch?

Dyson do not sell them any more.

In fact almost nobody sells them any more. They were from early models of Dyson vacuum cleaners and were superseded by the two prong switch.

If you fit a two prong switch to a machine wired for four prong, you have to alter the wiring somewhat.

Why have that hassle? Why not just buy an original Dyson 4 pole switch from Manchester’s leading Dyson parts specialists?

Here is the link: Dyson DC04 4 prong switch

How easy was that?… Click here to continue reading this article

E235 Natamycin in Argentinian Wine

Product warning – Argentinian Wines

There have been reports in the German wine press that a substance called Natamycin has been found in some Argentinian wines. Following these reports, some wine suppliers in the UK extended their normal quality control to test for Natamycin at very low levels of concentration, and have identified some wines that contain traces of it.

Based on the information so far, “THERE IS NO RISK TO HEALTH” claim online wine supplier Naked Wines.

Natamycin “IS APPROVED IN THE EU FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION in products like cheeses and sausages” they scream, “but it is NOT approved in wine.… Click here to continue reading this article

Manchester Vax – Looking for Manchester Vax the Dyson Specialists?

Have you just Googled Manchester Vax and landed here?

Its a popular mistake searchers are making.

The reason you cant find them is because of your spelling. You should have searched for Manchester Vacs instead.

If you are looking for their website you can find it here: Manchester Vacs – Dyson Specialists.

Manchester Vacs are prevented from using the Vax name because it is a trademark of a brand of vacuum cleaner. For the same reason they are not called Manchester Dyson.

FileZilla FTP Client and Google Adsense Ads

FileZilla FTP Client and Google Adsense Ads

Do not use Filezilla if your pages contain Google Adsense code. Your Adsense code will be corrupted on upload and your ads will not show.

FileZilla seem to know about this (indeed, it is something in their product that causes it) but seem unconcerned about it.

Many people are now trawling the internet searching for a replacement for SmartFTP who just recently decided that their product was not free any more.

Googling “Free FTP Client” takes you to FileZilla most likely. You read all about the lovely cuddly open source software and the resource and back up forums and you probably do what I did; download it and give it a whirl.… Click here to continue reading this article

From Russia Without Love: How thousands of lonely British men are being ruthlessly fleeced by a Russian ‘e-mail brides’ racket

“From Russia Without Love: How thousands of lonely British men are being ruthlessly fleeced by a Russian ‘e-mail brides’ racket” was an article recently featured in the UK Daily Mail.

It was penned by PAUL BRACCHI and HELEN CROYDON. Well, we don’t know who “Helen Croydon” is, but we can bet she is an English feminist hack who is a tad overweight and is jealous of Russian and former Soviet Union women.

We also don’t know who “Paul Bracchi” is but with that surname he isn’t English, so how can he write from an English perspective?… Click here to continue reading this article
