    Are you in "Thick People File"?



    A man who sold counterfeit medicines, including Viagra, has been told to hand over more than £14m by Southwark Crown Court.

    He kept customer's details in a folder entitled the "Thick People File".

    The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it was the largest confiscation order against a dealer in fake medicines.

    Simon Hickman, from Tameside in Manchester, was sentenced to two years in jail in June 2009.

    He ran an illegal online pharmacy which sold counterfeit and unlicensed drugs for erectile dysfunction.

    A six year investigation by the MHRA and the North West Regional Asset Recovery Team uncovered a lavish lifestyle involving luxury cars and properties.

    The court found that he made £15.4m from his dealings and ordered him to pay £14.4m. He has been given six months to pay.

    Danny Lee-Frost, the head of operations, enforcement at the MHRA, said: "The granting of this order today demonstrates the MHRA's commitment to ensuring that those responsible for the sale and supply of fake and unlicensed medicines will not benefit from their criminality.

    "Fake medicines can be dangerous and the MHRA are determined to protect patients."

        Drive down practically any road in the country and count the number of people who drive straight into their narrow driveway, instead of reversing in, and so later have to reverse out gingerly into busy traffic, probably not being able to see properly and quite possibly with young kids in the back.

        There must be millions of them, and any of them could be, or deserve to be, in this guy's Thick People File. Unfortunately they're even more likely to be on the Voting register

            How the ****ing **** is letting him keep a million quid demonstrating a commitment to ensuring he doesn't benefit from his criminality?

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Glad to see I'm in good company.

                  It helps having a younger wife who looks after herself.

                    I told my wife today as she was talking about perfumes being attractive to men, that all she needed to invent was a perfume that smelled of fresh coffe, fresh baked bred, fresh baked biscuits & cake and she'd have to beat men off with a stick
