Hi Adamstown,
Ha yes, I recall Pallister. We were going to find a mountain of nickel, if I recall correctly. All entertaining at the time, but it came to nought.
As for this guy, I think he is Pallister reinvented, to come back with the opposite approach to Pallister, being all gloom and doom. But the same bloke, in a new disguise! I just wish he would sell and go away.
