In a bizarre turn of events, I went into the ILAC centre bathrooms on Saturday and these cosplaying chaps were lined up just outside the jacks. After I entered the toilets who should I see but 'littler' himself, Justin Barrett, in full regalia emerging from a cubicle with his 'bodyguard'. Great to see a man of his stature using protection.

They will never get another penny from me.
