The TPU UK Clubhouse

[Fourstaff]

Also it's not that expensive if you shop around and don't mind buying shops own brand, you can get a ltr of vodka for £10-£12, versions of baileys, gin etc that is a lot cheaper than the top brands.

Shopping around in my area is not that easy, because there is only a "big supermarket" which is Sainsbury's and even then its not easy to find own brand alcohol (other than basics vodka, I think any sensible person will avoid that). I was budgeting about £12-14 per bottle (of "branded" ones when they are on sale/offer), and that works out to about £100 if I want 7-8 bottles. In my shopping list when I start one: Pimms No. 1, vodka, Malibu/Bacardi/other rum, Baileys, gin, whiskey, Cointreau + some other ingredients and lesser known drinks to mix them with.

I view the ability to hold my drinks well as a social requirement

Not a big drinker myself, i never really go out for a drink. Occasionally i will drink but because i like the taste rather than getting smashed.

Im a rum and whisky drinker, my favourite is Havana Club Rum. I also like real ales; what we coin "heavy" you call "bitter" so i like that sort of beer. I drink cider or gin too but if im buying i buy rum. I dont drink win: tonic, white or red i dont like the smell or the taste.

IMO people drink cheap shite simply because its cheap, that's why everyone drinks cheap 3L of cider or lager up here.

I been through a smiliar stage, buying piss poor acidic cider just to get pissed on, infact most people I know have though tend to grow out of it fairly quickly, you notice the ones who dont.

And shit, gumpty i am going through the same as you then based on my earlier post, I am just not feeling it these days and honestly the thought of a couple of glasses of wine, or a couple of beers seems better than getting smashed, must be a thing of hitting 30

Added Kyle2020 on Facebook, he's been updating things recently (Liking pages, becoming friends with people), but still not logging in here. So, my conclusion, he did scam people.

Maybe acessed FB on his phone but hasn't got a proper browser to get on TPU, when was he last on here?

 

[MoonPig]

11th of Feb. And his updates are normal, not "Via mobile Web" or "Via Android" etc.

Snake bite anyone.

I understand members who have been on here 6 months - 1 year and pull a fast one, though he was quite an active member on here for 3-4 years, I vote you post his name and we all "drop him a line" on FB or pop round for a cup of tea one night

 

[MoonPig]

Happily. I believe i was one of the few that knew him well. I used to speak with him near enough daily. My folding name is joint with his...

Name on FB is Kyle Topham.

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Not to slag him off too much, but I didn't think that highly of him tbh. Found him rather arrogant.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I never talked with him at all. but its a shame someone whose been active on this forum for so long can just suddenly turn around and go rogue like that. but then again this is the interwebz, you think you know someone but you really dont know them at all.

 

[kurosagi01]

I bought a HDD off him once but luckily it was before all this comments i just read today from moon and before Feb.
I've got him on MSN and his always on it.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Theres a guy called 'Larry Topham' on his friendlist on FB.... Im guessing this is his dad. I think it would be worth trying to get in contact with him. He's ex-special forces so hopefully he should be willing to hear you out

Man if it's the kid I just looked at there is nothing to him, looks like a little geek tbh, i am a geek though not so little or freshfaced looking, no wonder he scammed on the webz cause he wouldn't be able to walk up to someone on the street and do that shit lol

NdMk - yea that's him.
He's only young - just turned 18 and got his first job this year or so. Found that there is a life beyond PC's maybe?
I had a deal with him early last year, he was the same then. Ignored me for like a week after I paid then gave some bullsh*t excuse (the same excuse most bad traders give)

 

[kurosagi01]

What kind of excuse is that scam,mind giving an example. I hope i ain't one of those bad traders.

That'd explain his arrogance then, well to a degree.

 

[kurosagi01]

Fair enough if he is being legit but surely it can't take all day and everyday to not allow you to go upto your post office and ship the goods just because of family issue,going sit in hospital all day and watch your family? If you know what i mean,i ain't trying be rude or horrible but surely in those situation,surely you shouldn't be sitting all day watching or something.

 

[scaminatrix]

I got the feeling at the time that it wasn't the first/last time he used the excuse. When something bad happens to people like that, they want to talk. Whether they talk about the issue or not doesn't matter, they just want to talk about something. He was evasive and too short. I'm a very good judge of character, and my instincts just screamed "LIE"

Depends on the severity of the situation.

I did a couple of pieces of business with him, one buy, one sell I think, he was fine and trouble free with me but that was probably 2 - 3 years ago TBH, it saddens me that a long standing member goes off the rails like that, perhaps he has had some serious issues, not defending him because nothing makes fraudulent trading right but unless you grow up without integrity and personal standards, I cannot see why someone would stoop to con activities. If his dad was Special Forces (I use this term lightly because some of my friends are/were and certainly would not post the fact on facebook) then he was brought up to understand standards.
