It's a bull shit reason, had that been the case you wouldn't have mentioned it at all. You're not fooling anyone because I'm not letting you. It's about the palm print, you could easily admit it - but you can't because you don't want anyone to know the basis wasn't you idea.

i think we would all agree now that this was about the palm print caroline. You obviously put a lot of time into your research and i can see why this would pi.. you off. But he may have progressed this further so we will have to wait and see.
One of you when all is revealed can give the other a right mouthful! Either way one of you will still be right miffed.
I think its a shame that david didnt pm you about this in the first place , he may have been reluctant to do so because he may feel there is no chance of you considering his innocence now.
