brushes with Infamy
just found about this

Barclays IT director jailed for downloading hundreds of child porn images to company laptop | Mail Online

now last May i was in Madrid on business drinking and eating tapas with this bloke... TBH he came across as a generally decent bloke, just goes to show you can never tell from the outside whats in someones mind.

so the question is how close to infamy have you been?

I've met you on several occasions, does that count?

Or are you really as harmless as I presumed, (and hoped)?

Re: brushes with Infamy
I've met Roy Hattersley and been within earshot of Jasper Carrot - both really unpleasant at the time (but they might each have been having a bad day).

Midge Ure, Kevin Keegan & David Seaman are all really decent people, though (but they might each have been having a really good day )


(Not very infamous, I know)

I was hoping more towards famous because they were naughty ( OK you get TB as one! )


Less, Harmless? not sure if that should be a compliment or an insult!

Most of us have met people who have infamy potential - they just haven't been exposed - YET

If kids are involved, I really hope you're harmless, we all should continue to be wary, but please take it as a compliment, I think you would, could, are, maybe, should be, along with most blokes trustworthy, I just hope we can prevent the others from their hobbies!
