It's the first I hear of this and it is quite shocking, to say the least.

She takes ''Richey'' to do public shows? She's selling cds, and a book containing his poetry? I can't believe she's got the balls to make money out of this trick!

His "poetry".

Have you read it? It's atrocious. Clearly his spirit's had a lobotomy.

What a wacko. She calls him 'Rich' after a quick scan at her site. What a goon. "I remember one time I was shopping at Tesco and Richard was there bouncing along beside me" fuck me, I actually laughed at that, but she's obviously out for a bit of attention or whatever.

I dunno, it reads about the same level as the lyrics on Generation Terrorists.

Okay, my first serious post in here:

It could be that she wants to make money out of fans who are a bit delusional themselves, but it could also be that she isn't very well at all, and may actually believe it.

I can't call her a tool out of fear that it may be the latter, and that'd be a bit unfair to the lass.

My God. Probably shouldn't have read the website as it made me want to vomit. I actually hope she is mentally ill as the possibility that this is all just contrived to make money is beyond repulsive.

As sad and as angering as this is the fact remains she is not the first to use an exploitable situation like this and she won't be the last either.

Some may call her mentally ill, others may just see a business woman with a good way of twisting things...

You know, in a way I hope she truly believes it. It would be absolutely terrible of someone to try and make money out of it solely because of greed, considering it's so insensitive to the fact that family and friends still have no definite answer as to his whereabouts.

If it was a conscious decision of hers, she could have at least chosen someone actually dead for a good long time... But then it would be less sensational, I suppose.

*sigh* Either way, the whole thing feels so awful.

The website is a LOT less sickening if you imagine ~Rich's~ thoughts being spoken by Nigel Planer (Neil from the Young Ones).

The problem I see with the latter possibility is that are there that many people really interested in Richey and delusional enough to ask for her contact? Unless they're all rich and paying her £1000 a pop or something.

Fucking Manix fans, mental bastards.

If all Richey related discussions were spoken by Moss and Roy even I'd become a CoR!
