He did indeed. That is how I found out I was not alone in my fetish. I happened to be watching that episode. It was around 1994-1995 or so. I had just been able to connect to the nascent internet and I went and searched "splosh." Lo and behold! Remember alt.sex.fetish.wet-and-messy? Aquatapes, Messy Fun, etc. Waiting for ten minutes for grainy pictures to upload. Memories. If I am not mistaken, I was on The UMD (ultimate messy directory) around when it first came online. It was a list of links to WAM websites back then. Been here ever since!
Of course Haidee/Hayley existed....she sent me a Get Well Soon card in 1991 when I ended up in hospital (not a sploshing related accident I would add! )
Still part of my Splosh collection.....Happy Days!
Ignore the history in my bio page. I so messed up my first bio, I thought it would be easier to create a new one. And there was a time, I believe, when registration wasn't needed. It isn't impossible that I was here near the beginning.
Do you remember the feature "Meet the Chatterers"?
madmalc said: Look we've been here before about the Hayley saga. Hayley DID exist she was a former secretary when Bill worked for the Paul Raymond organisation. I actually met them both in a pub in Forest Hill in South London. I accept however that some of the stuff Bill produced in the magazine concerning her had elements of "journalistic license". It has been great to see the nostalgia created with the SPLOSH magazines and being one of the few still on the forum I believe together with Mike from WSM productions, i can stil recall that famous event in Tenby which preceded. the launch of the first editionl

that may be so but the woman who appears in pictures as 'hayley' is a model from kent who contacted me when Bill passed away to say he owed her money. I checked her out and it was legit
She never wrote a single post, email or photo story, that was all Bill
I was shocked because Bill always spoke of her as though they were in a relationship. From his words I believe he was in a relationship at some point in his life with someone who was his Hayley, whoever she was but this 'working in Spain' stuff was pure invention. I'm not sure when the model from Kent started posing as Hayley, but certainly a good length of time before I first visited and that was early 2008.
At his funeral, I was concerned for Hayley (the model hadn't contacted me yet) but everyone who regularly saw him believed him to have been single for a very long time and had never met any woman in his life
I am not trying to speak ill of the man, I loved him and his Hayley character was harmless, fun, and no doubt a good business decision. His work was off the charts amazing. I kept it to myself for a very long time But I think people need to know when they thought they were talking to Hayley they were not. It was Bill.
As i mentioned i agree Bill used his journalistic skills to embellish the Hayley/Haidee character. I also was aware there was no romantic link between the two of them to the best of my knowledge. She did a significant amount of "typing"(god that dates us!) for the magazine and i dont think the girl i met with him ever appeared in the mag. However i repeat that Hayley did exist it just wasn't the character who appeared in Splosh or that Bill referred to in various communications.
Love you, too
