Thanks mate!

Any time you want to be messed around, just give me a call, I am always up for shafting you.

Well, this is simply not true: First off, you PM'd me on the 4th October with the following message:

Hi Brian Peedell has called saying you maybe looking for a b23 at the moment. I am selling mine as I am unable to race due to work commitments and i am tasked to deploy next july & august.
My contact number is 07796 137421

Dont see much begging there..
Finally - the phone calls Friday, You initially agreed £6000, then you phoned back later asking for £6200, and as I had drawn the cash I said you would have to take a post dated cheque for the £200 as I would need to move money around. Then you phoned back later again saying you wanted pickup Saturday and not Sunday as agreed, and I said I would have to
change arrangements I had already made, and I would phone you for your address and confirm things before 10pm.
You never answered my phone calls after that - so I had no way to guess where you live!
Then I lost my mobile phone early Saturday morning. Unfortunate - yes, but such is life. I made several attempts to contact you.

I wish it were that simple!
I was not at my house, no mobile phone, no address book and not online. I phoned several friends whos numbers I could remember to try get messages to you. I know you got at least one of them, as you PM'd me in response on Saturday - so you were aware there was a problem!!

-Actually, that was your intention when you posted at 3pm Saturday. your 'SOLD' posting was a setup to your 'name and shame' posting later. This I know, because on recovery of my mobile I have your text messages threatening me at 2:40pm Saturday. Then 20 minutes later you get online and post a 'SOLD' message on Boatmad... Why post a 'SOLD' message on Boatmad when you have already thrown your toys out the cot via text message? Simple, so you can set the stage for the 'name and shame'!
Nice one
It is a pity, I would have liked to have gotten the 3c boat, as Geoff and I have discussed the 3C worlds at some length and decided we should try get a boat ready for this.
All in all an unfortunate set of circumstances prevented me from getting to you on Saturday. Most are probably not your fault, but important things - like answering your phone on Friday night to confirm arrangements and your address as we had agreed would have solved most of the problems!
Having 'named and shamed' me publically on Boatmad, you can forget about me having anything to do with you again. Enjoy the storage fees and depreciation with your boat.
In my not so humble opinion, you deserve it!
