Yeah, I was Adam. Not Harry though. And I also got locked out by my computer, for some reason, so far from being two poeple I was in fact nobody...

Rule : FIRE is not allowed in the gutter. It is way too dangerous.

My vote's still on Tracy for Hobgoblin Harry--who cares if she denied it! Anyway, it wasn't me. I was too busy scaring them all off.

Why does everyone think Tracy has been hobgoblin Harry, and who is Harry and how does Tracy know him that well?

I categorically deny having ever been Hobgoblin Harry or any derivitive there of!

I still think it was Nicky.

It wasn't me. Who else was there? Magda?

Actually, i think it was magda. I know she was having technical difficulties at the time, but that could have been just a cover story!!!

Nope, it wasn't me either. It could have been a genuine baffled new person, you know, who just appeared at utterly the wrong time.

Well, it wasn't me either. As there is noone else left who could have been it, it must have been a genuine baffled new person. Or someone is having a lot of fun watching the others wondering who Hobwotsisname was.

Where was Harry from, anyway? Hong Kong? Tokyo? My analysis: someone's lying.

Re: Rules of the gutter part 2

My theory is that he was from Tokyo and subsequently committed Harry-kiri, which is why we haven't heard from him again.

Alternatively he could have become a Harry-Krishnan and elevated himself to the astral plane (perhaps we should've told him things go better with coke?)

Long-shot: maybe he was Harry Ramsden? There was definitely something fishy about him....
