Missing man turns up

[roverboy]

I've just heard this story on Snec FM and looked for it on the BBC site without success but found it on a local website. Imagine someone who you thought was dead turning up!! Mind you, if I was a monkey hanger, I'd want to disappear!!

Here's the Beeb article LINKY

My money is on a mid-life crisis. He banged out for a break from all the pressures of the middle-class white man and didn't know how to come back without looking a fool. The longer he waited, the harder it got.

Makes a change from the usual big bike, beard and long hair.

Insurance scam, I reckon.

Sounds like he did a bit of a Reginald Perrin then changed his mind doesn't it ! I wonder if he heard his wife had won the Lotto or something DT_Xtremez_15:

Imagine how weird that must be for his wife.
She's probably with a new partner and will have a completely different life.

She's probably over the moon that he's alive and well but I bet it puts her in a really awkward position.

Almost like the film "Castaway"

Think of the talking to you get from OC Dragon command when you are a couple of hours late back from the boozer!

Now just think of the roasting that this poor barsteward is about to be on the wrong end of.

From this article about him from 5 years ago: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2271193.stm

His wife said: "I have no reason to think he would have left and stage-managed this."

What a strange thing to say.

I've just read the link to the original story and wondered if a prison officer is middle-class?

He's an officer.DT_Xtremez_15:

Actually, I wonder if there was something in the off at the prison and he though it would be safest to disappear for a while?DT_Xtremez_35:

Has anyone seen my tinfoil hat? I only put it down a few minutes ago!

Obviously not right in the head if his occupation is anything to go by !!!!!

"Honestly... I was out paddling my canoe, hit a wave, did a double toe-loop followed by a triple-salco, banged my head on the canoe, and that's the last thing I remember until about 2 days ago. I suddenly remembered who I really was but couldn't remember my address. Thought I'd better ask a policeman"

... Well, that's what I'd say!.....

Christ!... Is the guy a member of the Goat? He's just said exactly what I said! ^^^^
