Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,180 Posted March 20, 2016 Man mountain and tough-guy investigative reporter Roger Cook (the bloke who once outed Martin McGuinness as IRA chief of staff and dared McGuinness to sue him) set to make a one-off return at the age of 72 to catch up on events of the life of one of his other subject. John "Goldfinger" Palmer (i.e. the guy gunned down in his own garden a few months back)Cook sees this as 'personal' as Palmer was the only person who made a death threat to Cook( and Cook has had umpteen) that was taken seriously. That's not true. Several years ago, I saw Roger Cook (who used to live a few miles down the road from me) driving in his gas guzzling 4x4 AGAINST the arrows in our local Tesco car park. I made a death threat and an offensive hand signal to him. Maybe he will make a documentary about me next. Aside from that, my dad also sold him a car many years ago. Said he was a right cunt. So he lived in Wiltshire???? All makes sense now..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not far from Nicholas Cage too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
