The latest from Mark Bourrie: divorce pleadings? Seriously?
First things first: I haven’t been arrested yet for criminal libel, for posting this about Mark – but the day is still young! Anyway, he is apparently interested in publishing…
Mark Bourrie makes a criminal complaint against me. No, we are not making this up.
If the document below is to be believed, that is. Mr. Bourrie posted it on Twitter while darkly muttering “I don’t bluff.” Someone sent it to me. Having never had…
