Not sure if it was before that, but he was on VD telling all the world where he skived to for a kip in the Dublin (iirc) office. He probably should have checked that no-one on the board worked for the same company and might not appreciate the Dublin office paying people to sleep on company time.
He was a funny character though, on the forum at least I never met him.. probably for the best lol

I remember from the Oxford drinks that Easy now Andy posted a picture where he'd written "Hunter is gay" in his local pub toilet![]()
