Life on the Riviera can be bizarre at times. Here are some pages describing odd people and strange events in cyberspace, as they occur.

And there are few as strange as Linda Frobisher, a caricature of a Riviera female and just the kind you wouldn't want to meet. Fortunately you won't; she's the invention of someone with a seriously disturbed personality.

Another local personality who doesn't actually exist is "Jan", who posts on the forums as "honeypie". She's designed to trap unwary people into scams run by an unsavory local character.

Both of the above - and many more - are inventions of one David Kappel, a low-rent scammer and fraudster who now calls himself "Gordon Blue". He hides away in an Italian villa near Apricale, where he believes nobody can touch him.
