How much do we need.......

Should archaeologists be able to plunder and desecrate ancient grave sites. In a Christian society is it right in the name of science that graves are being looted by archaeologists, just to see how these people lived and died. It a bit like the Japanese whaling fleets killing whales to study, but in reality it is just an excuse to carry on eating them. Have we not now got enough evidence to say these people died of X, and leave the rest in peace.
How many more artefacts do museums around the world need before they are full to the brim. Most of these collections are kept in vaults or basements where they will never see the light of day, so to say they belong to everyone is a bit like going to ask the Queen to borrow the Crown jewels for the evening.
The Ashmolian museum has many fine Bronze Age axe heads on show in glass display cases, but if you care to open the rows of draws beneath the display cases, you will see several hundred more examples. What is the point of holding these items if they are not in the main display cabinets, as the majority of people will never view them.
Public money should be used to show what we already have , not to aimlessly buy what we already have many examples of.
Those academics and Professors will always argue we need this information but in reality it is just to keep them employed, as many would find it hard working on a Tesco‘s till.

Send us your scrap lead

Many people around the world collect stamps and coins for a hobby. Paul has a very unusual hobby in collecting pieces of scrap lead. Well when I say scrap lead ,it’s usually church roof sized. Now I’m not saying that they would fit some of the missing church roofs in Britain, which have now gone missing and ended up in Poland . But maybe Paul with his Polish connections could send some of his scrap lead back in this direction.
As many of these churches look funny with Velux windows where old lead roofs used to be. Do the right thing Paul, if only for our heritage.

What a nasty vindictive little shit I am, I found a link to Steve Taylor’s MYNETIMAGE album to show what a fine collection of artefacts he has found over the years. Then just to stir things up a little, I added a few items from my own collection, undeclared of course. The idea was to cause as much trouble as possible to Steve by making the archies think some of the items were his. I hope he doesn’t try and do me conspiring to pervert the course of justice　
Of course Steve will have already copied the page and handed it to Carter Ruck. 

 Perverting the course of justice is an offence in common law. It carries a theoretical maximum sentence of life imprisonment

Paul goes campaigning for support of the elephant, but passer-by finds his methods a little unorthodox. As a comitited animal lover (mainly sheep), he found his one man campaign fell on deaf ears as his trunk failed to rise to the occasion . When questioned afterwards he thought the cold weather had effected his performance, as he had never experience this before whilst flashing his genitalia to members of the public.

Paul Barford, burning bright,
In the woodlands of the night,
Machine in hand, and digging deep,
Excited by a bleep , bleep ,bleep,
Night owls descend upon the land,
On scheduled sites, the shadowed hand,
Nigel calls him with a hoot,
To indicate he’s found some loot,
Paul dressed head to foot in black,
With shit on head, piled in a stack,
They’ll never see me with this disguise,
his head is covered with shitty flies,
As they rummage through the grass,
Nigel slips one up Paul ‘s arse,
Must be some sort of night time attraction,
As Nigel writes for hemorrhoid action,
A gripping thriller, if you have no brain,
But read by archies, all the same.

Poor old Paul, has had to back down on his blog and delete images which were clearly not his. This spineless git hasn’t even got the courage to admit to his own blog, trying to pass it off as members of the detecting community. The problem is the style of writing is clearly his, as it has arsehole written all over it.
If anyone else has their copyright infringed by this nobhead, just send in your complaint to Google, and they will close all his sites down. Amen
　
　
Authors' Note: Although this post was not included in the original takedown notification where the unknown finder of these apparently unrecorded items lost to public view claimed our use of the photos here was a breach of his copyright, we decided to be on the safe side and remove them- after all we do not want to make Mr Tayler angry do we? The several dozen photos showed a range of typical Anglo-Saxon grave goods, buckles, disc brooches, equal armed brooches, weapons, the lot].

{Photos removed}

[Authors' Note: This blog is satire and some people quite obviously can take neither criticism or a joke when its not him making spiteful ones about other people. We might indeed wonder just why this person did not want his gallery of recent finds being discussed here, I think we can all have a jolly good guess].

Today I have an important announcement to make. Another Paul Barford living in Poland, who has made a so called funny blog on me, Ha Ha . Maybe not so funny now.
The pages of this site have all been filed for evidence, by Google and Carter Ruck. The problem has been providing enough evidence as to nail him. On the 2nd August I sent him an email which said.:
Dear Paul Barford

He had replied to this by placing acknowledgement on his blog in a mocking fashion, but he has understood that my reproduction fee was £500 per image. Since that time he has gone on to download another 80 images which were my copyright and these now have been logged by Google and Carter Ruck.
Accordingly the use of fair dealing cannot be used in this instant as it was used in a malicious and vindictive way and not just criticism. Several images were clearly not mine and were placed in such manner as to damage my reputation.
My blog which is clearly not in good taste, but is satire, where his has linked to my personal information making it clear about the bloggers intention to damage my reputation.
I will now make it clear, I am not in the business of bankrupting people but if the offending blog and all the other blogs about heritage issues written by this person are not removed by Sunday 11th September. I will instruct Carter Ruck to proceed in suing for copyright infringement which they have told me is £40,000 as there are 80 images @£500 each, plus damages and court cost which will take the figure to over £100,000.I will sue using No Win No Fee and will take out insurance against losing the case.

The Judgement will be enforced in the law of the land that the debtor lives.

Under the Brussels Regulation and the Lugano Convention a creditor can enforce a debt in another country if that country uses the regulation or convention.

National Barford Day

So Barford, has had to back down on hosting my video’s, I wonder why! probably because he’s knows he has breached copyright rules.
Anyone who's been mentioned in his blogs, should delve through his archive, where you will find plenty of material pinched off the various individuals who have posted there images up, not knowing they are being used in this manner.
There are strict copyright rules as to who owns images on the net, and you cannot just take them, and write a malicious story around them.
I have already got him to remove several video's and photographs, which he just stole off my net image. Google have strict rules and will close down anyone who continually breaches their guidelines.  Maybe we should have a National Barford Day on Sunday 18th , and all hit him with a copyright infringements, if the picture belongs to you, then you are entitled to payment for it. This has been going on for far to long, if you read his blog you will see many cases where people have asked him to remove there images because it breaches copyright. Maybe Paul thinks he is above the law, and can do as he pleases.

Time to call it a day Paul, you obviously need me to spell it out to you . You have three choices to make:
1. you either make an out of court settlement for copyright infringements and damages to my reputation, In which I will send you an invoice tonight for £10,000, as you were aware in an earlier email I sent you on the 2nd August that I said the images were my copyright and they were £500 each.You actually uploaded over 120 of them, even though you were aware of the cost.

May I suggest you seek legal advice, because it is you that has clearly broken the law not me!

You have made no attempt to pay for there use, and I did not give you permission to use them in this manner. You also added items of Treasure making it look like I had found these, and not declared them under the Treasure Act.
2. Second choice is delete all you blogs on heritage subjects, and never write one again, if you do I will still take action out on you, as they have been vindictive in the way you have written them  about me. You have clearly tried to damage my reputation.
3. If I do not hear by Saturday 17th September 2011 at 6.00pm, that you have not opted for one of the other choices on offer , I will instruct Carter Ruck on Monday to sue you for copyright infringements, malicious falsehoods and damage to my reputation, by putting up personal information on the web for all to see, and publishing my address. They have already told me you cannot win, so it’s up to you. Carter Ruck will get your address from Google as they have all your details, and they will have to supply it, when a writ is issued.
You are still trying to stir up trouble as we speak, by twisting the truth on other blogs, but facts speak for themselves, you have clearly stolen the images that I host on my web sites.  It is useless removing item from your blog as we already have hard copies of the original blog you did, with the images clearly seen.

The Unknown Club Member and His Finds (I)

For a decade and a half it has been recognised that metal detecting is a hugely enjoyable outdoor hobby that can bring enormous public benefits by producing new evidence about the past. There is a Code of Responsible Practice for Metal Detectorists in England to which all members of our club adhere. Sadly there are history seekers out there who do not. Some of them are happy to report to the authorities which they obviously hate and distrust so much those finds that will get them in the newspapers or for which they'll be paid a cash reward. These people are less forthcoming outside metal detecting circles about his other finds. They obviously feel that "sharing the information" with the public consists of sticking a few dozen photos of things they have found on Flicr or similar public media and that's enough. One of the guys who seems to represent this school of thought has been an active member of the forum of the breakaway heritage society formed by Steve Tayler in April (more about this later) and has deceptively adopted a screen name extremely similar to one used by our Steve in the past ("ChainmAIL", instead of "ChainmALE"). This is a sneaky trick to hide his identity and we feel sure that Steve will take steps to make sure this individual acts more responsibly in future. Let's take a look at the gallery of finds he has made.































The metal detectorist who posted these finds in a public gallery apparently thought it was enough to share his finds with the public by putting them up on a photo gallery to be seen, but there is no information given attached to any of them where they come from, and which ones have been reported to the PAS as is required by the Code of Practice for Responsible Metal Detecting in England to which our club members all adhere. We urge "Chainmail" to do the right thing and report these finds to the authorities so that a proper public record can be made of them and all this information is not lost.

Paul Barford, in trying to damage my business and reputation with his blog, linking to all my personal information. He has attacked me for 3 months on his heritage blog, with accusations bordering on libel. I did not want my address and telephone number broadcast to the world, as I am ex directory. Also an image has appeared on my computer wall paper which had been used as an avatar on Paul’s blog, I did not put it there, so has someone hacked my computer, which is an criminal offence.

I am considering contacting the police, as this has caused me untold stress to myself and my family.

I think Nigel Swift should get the full facts before printing any old crap Paul Barford tells him, the issue is copyright infringement, over 120 images @£500 each, which he refuses to pay. I gave Paul the choice of avoiding court costs, but is now trying to wriggle his way out, yet again, by a series off accusation, of blackmail and Polish mafia. It will be Russian agents with poison umbrellas next. You live in your own little fantasy world Paul, and give MI5 a call while your at it.  Oh! whats that noise outside, it must be a load of angry metal detectorists banging at my door. You've had your wings clipped and now your pissed off. Have you thought about writing childrens books, you seem to have a good imagination.

The issue of Paul downing his blogs is nothing to do with blackmail, more to do with him editing his blogs of all the evidence.. He knew that dozens of people throughout this period had objected to copyright infringement, and had said so in his blogs. This is a smoke screen and stalling tactic yet again put up by Paul, because he knew if he left his blogs up they would indeed be removed. You have not told your supporters on The Heritage Action blog, of your personal blog you did of me, or are you too embarrassed .  I have no problem of your blogs going back up, as I have plenty of evidence to hand to Carter Ruck.

I would just like to say Paul you are a nasty vindictive little man, who has gone out of his way to hurt others. You now have the taste of your own medicine as the people you have attacked over the years are now hitting back, in an organised way.

What long coffee breaks you have....

This really makes me laugh, Paul says I run my blog as a coffee break activity all I can say is your coffee breaks must last from 6am in the morning to the early hours, and the amount of coffee drunk would have caused a world shortage. Also the fact you were running so many blogs, would have required more staff than the White House to manage. You also contradited yourself slightly, why worry about the amount of people searching you blog for copyright infringements, if you say there is none to be found.  
If I was a serial spammer on your blog, why was I on your friends list? Where you only accepted comments from those invited. Duh! If I had been causing a problem you would have removed me from your list.
I did tell you I had met some Polish people that wanted to come and see you, but because you didn’t give me your address, it did make it quite difficult, Poland’s a big place, init!.
Any Polish metal detectorists who are threatening you, is probably down to your own popularity Worldwide, not just in the U.K.
Also when you say four hard years of work will be lost, remember we are only talking coffee breaks here.
Ever thought of becoming a comedian.

The latest update, Mr Barford now thinks he a victim of harassment and blackmail, and want's to push the issue of copyright infringement aside, just a minor detail.
He sent me a private email today, with doctored messages I have meant to have sent to him, which he has now handed over to the police. He say’s I threaten to kill him by shoving a Red Hot Poker up his arse. Here is an image of a Red hot Poker, they just love it in peaty soil.



I would just like to thank all those people who have emailed me, and supported me.
Now many of you would have seen his personal blog, where he hosted my video’s directly as well as uploading photographs from my on line album, which was completely illegal may I add. He also posted up many personal bits of information, like eBay accounts, and employment history.
Now just to help with a future court case against him, always good to have a few witness statements, anyone who has suffered harassment from his blogs over the years, or who saw the ones posted about me. Send me a message either HARASSMENT or WITNESSED HIS BLOG. That should get the ball rolling to:

I try to keep my image hidden off the web, because I have attacked so many people over the years on my blog, I now fear for my own safety. People think I look like a cross between Rolf Harris and Mr.Bean, probably because of my stupid hair style. You can find my images all over the net if you know where to look.
