    As he was on his own on the bike - who else are you now saying then, was possibly involved in it for the money?

    Where do you get this bloody rubbish form?

    Please show ANY evidence for any of this daftness.
    Fairly clear you can't read now,

    I shall try and help you through it.

    I said I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED if it was done for the money.

    I never said that I THOUGHT IT WAS done for the money.

    ...And where is there ANYTHING to validate or even suggest anything to do with money?

    One of the most stupidest, out of nowhere random, tasteless crass notions I've read in a long time - and not a bit of evidence to back up the suggestion.

    See you still don't understand, I didn't suggest it was done for the money, I didn't say I thought it was, I didn't say anything like that.

    I said I wouldn't be surprised, why can't you understand a simple statement.

    I'm out, can't be bothered trying to convey a simple point to a simple person.

    Aaa stop trying to weasel out of the suggestion you tried to put out there.
    The idea is out there with the existence of faeries and holds as much water.

    Pure rubbish.

    Explain why it wouldn't surprise you then?

    You can tell me. I'm a little less simple than Biggins.

    Because the world is filled with people that would do anything for money.

    As i said, i'm not saying this is the case with this story, but biggins doesn't even seem to understand my point, hence again asking me for proof regarding to this story.

    Anything is possible but I'd say in this case he was just looking for his kid.

    If he could afford to take off work for a couple of years he must have had a few quid behind him to start with.

    He only did it out of love, I'd imagine.

    I'd agree with you tbh, I was just saying I wouldn't be surprised by it, not that I thought it happened.

    Guess I will just have to carry on in my simple life employing people, running a business and a number of websites, etc, raising my four children and also not thinking, he's not doing it for the money.

    Clearly I must be simple indeed.

    You must be, because I never said he did it for the money.

    And lol @ at bragging about your life.

    Not bragging - just try to revoke your allegation that I am simple!
    ...Which I take personal offence to! Kop yourself on and have some manners.

    I explained something to you four or five times, which you still didn't get, and pestered me for an explanation to something that was never stated.

    I would consider that slightly simple.

    ...And I have asked the same number of times for you to show ANY reason to taint the man with that alligation or suggestion!
    ...But hey, keep trying to cleverly call me "simple" and avoid the question as to substance!

    Wow, just wow.

    You really are proving yourself to be a bit simple.

    I never tainted him with anything, never claimed he did anything, you still don't understand it, take a good read of the last 10 posts, not flick over them, but a good read, as in, take your time, focus on each and every word, and try understand them in a sentence together, and then you will realise what I said.

    ...And after loads of rubbish, you have yet to show ANYTHING to add substance to what your alleging as a possibility.

    NOTHING - not anything - just digs and insults!

    Your talking and spinning a consistent rubbish notion.

    Wow, how can you fail to understand something so simple, I don't know.

    There was no insult, I merely stated I thought you might be simple because I explained something several times and you didn't understand it.

    If i said I thought it was done for the money, I would have given some evidence relating to my post, but since I didn't, I obviously can't.

    You're failing to understand the "Wouldn't be surprised if" bit.

    Felix understood it, I don't see why you can't.

    Dude, the argument about money aside, you insulted Biggins by implying he was simple. I was just trying to draw out of you what you meant.

    You've continued to insult him since and it's not very nice behaviour, tbh.

    And I asked for reasons why to you make that suggestion - yet again!
    But yet again - nothing.

    O' and you clearly can't read good sarcasm either when you read it from other posts.

    I tried to leave, but he was accusing me of being a weasel about it, there isn't really much more I can do.

    Biggins I apologise for calling you simple.

    But I am out, if you want to continue I will happily talk to you through PM's.

    Let me be clear, I said you were perhaps trying to weasel out of the suggestion you tried to put out there.
    I DID NOT say you were a weasel nor was it implied if you read it that way - but you instead tried many times to imply I was "simple".

    ...Which a normal person, even a simple one, would take offence to!

    I accept your apology and too wish to move on.
    This thread will be yesterdays news in an hour anyway.

    Peace. :)

    True.

    It will be hard on the child at times for some time to come.
    He will not fully understand the reasons for being separated from "Mammy"

    Glad to see the matter is being treated slowly and with caution as regards the boy.
    Any dad once he knows his son is found and safe, wouldn't object and clearly this dad don't
    ...And fair play to him too for that.
