Re: [IRCA] Forwarded from a non-member (radio-related)

Hi All, I'd be willing to pitch in a little if someone could find out 
if he is legit....
Seems like he has enough money to buy a radio though if he can afford 
to go to Liverpool UK just to meet members of an MSN chat group.
See http://www.scouser.com/book/guest.htm then search for 
Shadow-Tiger in the guestbook....

    Great Site. Will be coming to LIverpool next August 5th to meet a load of

'chatters' from our MSN Group chat room. We are all looking forward to it

immensely! I was referred to your web site by a sweet young lady in

Liverpool. Again, Great Site...& get those cartoon back up Bill! ;-)
