The Manchester Way doesn't work in other parts of the world addy.
A distant acquaintance got rid of his flat mates with a machette through the flat mates door with the pleasant bark of "its your toes next if you dont f off "...he packed his stuff real quick!

I take it these Gentlemen here are not in the circle of acquaintances that you and i seem to know paul and also his flat mate can afford lawyers or isn't affraid to approach the police.

made me laugh though.
