Now, for a wind up merchant.
My vote would certainly go to Mike Stanton.
Absolute prick..........which is no doubt what he aspired to be.

Re: Nominate your BE legend
Oh, and a legend of the Aussie variety would be Mrs Dagboy.
Hated by some, but loved by far more for her forthright opinions.
"Say it as it is".
Very knowledgeable and very helpful.
And her hubby had a dry sense of humour like Vim so you can imagine how difficult that must have been for her.

Re: Nominate your BE legend
Back on topic I just looked at the definition for legend.
People of Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast all know the work that has been put in..........bringing so many expats together in the hope they can foster friendship.
Unselfish to a T.....no personal gain and in fact quite the opposite with considerable cost in both time and money.
Gee this guy has energy and patience in abundance.
Why?
Where is the satisfaction?
He obviously gets it, I think I feel it but can't put it into words.
Let's just be very grateful there are nutters like him about.
Hail Soapy, expat extraordinaire.
PS
I reckon he's putting weight on.
- A traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but unauthenticated
- An extremely famous or notorious person, esp. in a particular field
- An inscription, esp. on a coin or medal
- A caption
- The wording on a map or diagram explaining the symbols used
- The story of a saint's life

Hi Gedge
I know nothing about you but you appear to have 'previous' which makes you a kind of BE legend in my eyes
BTW, DV knows nothing about you either
