you might well be right. But pointing out the fact that I know he used name means that I know it too - which gives me cache

I'm in the club....

Bit ridiculous really isn't it. If mentioning his real name on the internet is such a problem to some people, I assume they've petitioned Google to get it removed from all the listings it appears on? Jeez. If the bloke wants the help of random ARRSErs to defend his Persec then maybe he's not all he's cracked up to be!

I reckon he keeps his name quiet to avoid having to punch on with every little yob, nutcase and would-be hardman every time he went out the front door or went into the pub.

One of my mates as a youth was a professional boxer who stopped going out because of half wits trying to start puch ups with him for the sake of their reputations.

Well my 'Steve Mitchell' statement has been edited in record time! Is he paying a notably intelligent chimp to sit at a laptop waiting for his name to pop up?
If it helps I know another Steve Mitchell but slightly leass glamorous, he once tried to light a fart at my mates flat and shat his jeans..it stank

Steve Mitchell? Steve Mitchell you say? I'd heard his real name was something else but if you say it's Steve Mitchell then Steve Mitchell it is.

How many Steve Mitchells are there? He was in the mob until the early 90's so very few will remember his face and if some 'yob' fancies a go it's probably to rob him for his pukka watch and shiny Range Rover..

**Fallschirmjager** · 15-01-2012, 14:23

I wonder if he's any relation to Grant and Phil Mitchell?

Followed him into the mob, same Bn, and so on, until he decided to do what a lot of Inf Bods do once they feel that they have done most of the gucci things that you can do in an Inf Bn/Training Establishment.

Not for me to try selection as I was happy were I was, and no way was prepared to put in the effort and dedication to get through it...but fecking good luck to him.

He was no more of a cockney gobshite than most of us Londoners in the RGJ/Mob were deemed to be. So what if he had a bit of 'vocal confidence', rat like cunning/intelligence and lairiness? I've met plenty of Yorkie/Geordie/Scouse bods that were just as mouthy and full of themselves...usually with feck all to back it up.

He still does many good things for H4H,etc - half of them unknown to the general public and people on here, and he is living the life that he earned for himself...with all the ups and downs it contains.

Meet up with him maybe 3 times a year, and most people who actually do know him as a friend - rather than listen to b*ll*x, second bull sh*t - know that he is a decent fella who's making the most of it for as long as he can. He has his enemies who don't like his ways, just as we all have...so fecking what?

Do you lose sleep over what people think of you?......thought not.

PS I have everyone of his books, all signed with his real name (sometimes even spelt correctly!)...so fecking worthless to pass/sell on ....the prick!

....even his christma cards are written in crayon, plus when he writes he sticks his tongue out.
