Where is 'John from Hull'?

From: GUEST

He used to post several times every day, but nothing since 27th Dec...

I hope he's OK.

He was never the brightest button in the box, but he was good fun and I miss him.

Anyone have any info?

Hope that you're OK, John

Hmmmmmm....you've got a point....though I hadnt realised it had been that long since he posted. (Glad someone has taken the trouble to check it out!)

However, I'd feel a lot happier discussing this if you werent Anonymous, particularly as youve said something that could possibly offend him if he saw it. I reckon you see my point of view?

I've wondered as well. The post last I recall was on the "Buried or Cremated" thread. Gone to Hull in a hand basket ? Cone on, John, come out, come out, where ever you are. Let us know you're OK.

The last posting I saw from John mentioned that he was moving to a new flat. Perhaps he's still recovering from his flat-warming party - or possibly he's still working on his 'Electricity from Hamsters' scheme( maybe the Animal Liberation Front have got to him!!) Hammy new Year, John

Oh no, don't tell me he's escaped from Hull! The men in white coats must have got him after his 'electricity from hamsters' thread. I suppose we all knew it was imminent!

John is fine. I've just spoken to him on the phone. He's a bit busy with work, that's all. For those who need more proof, he's hoping to call in at the Kingston session tomorrow. He thanks you for your concern.

Last I heard from John, he was in the process of moving and getting the computer/lines sorted in his new flat. He did tell me that he could be away for a week or two. Hopefully he will be back soon.

If I know John he will probably be pissed out of his head and fallen into the river Humber while trying to find his untaxed car.
At Whitby this year he wandered around in a daze all night trying to find the car, (he forgot which side of the harbour he had parked.) And then at Llanstock he tried to get into the car after a night on the pop and slipped into the stream fully clothed. We found him next day in a new suit he had bought in a charity shop in Welshpool, he had never looked so neat and tidy. If he gets to the Kingston Les ask him to give me a ring. I lost his number after a heave night on the coke.

Here I am! -I haven't run off with John from Hull but as Roger says I am staying with a friend at the mo, and I keep having to kick her 12 year old off his computer and it's turning nasty! Anyhoo, moving into my own little house next week and although I expect to be computerless for a short while, I will rejoin this merry throng as soon as possible. Will definitely be doing Stony Stratford and the Euro trip so see you all there!

I'm back! Thanks for your concern Guest, but as Jon and Les mentioned I have just moved into a new flat, and I have been working almost every day.I have just been recconected, because I have an ADSL line it took a bit longer for the phone co. to recconect me, (something to do with digital cable or something similar, wich I shan't pretend to understand!).
Bill- see your PM for my phone number.
Linda-I went to see Les yesterday, he said you are moving house soon, if you want any help moving stuff just let me know.

Subject: RE: Where is 'John from Hull'?
From: Oaklet

Sightings: Durty Nellies on Friday 30th August; the Sloop in Barton on Tuesday 3rd September, by which time he should have sorted his difference in opinion with the billing department at Kingston Interactive Television9. He did however explain that he might have to wait another week, as he had spent his budget on bear9. Anyone else seen him recently? Smallpliers reported a sighting at Whitby, but I am not sure as the suspect was seen drinking orange juice9.

I'm sure it was John I saw on the back steps of the Plough on Thursday evening of Whitby Folk Week. I was talking to Raggytash and Wombat and I just had a feeling it was John from Hull. I said "oooh it's john from Hull!" and I think he sort of acknowledged me and moved through in a bar-like direction. I think he thought I was some sort of stalker...perhaps he's hiding.

Perhaps the feyness of recent sightings suggest he was only here visiting us from the spirit world. I will always treasure my jOhn from hull T shirt, with his face boldy defiant, resplendant in beret and red star. It was an icon during the peasants' revolt against Kingston Interactive Television9. I regret being absent from the Sloop for the vision last Tuesday.

From: GUEST,Oakley

Apart from insisting upon introducing me to Sireen about 9 times9 on the evening of the 30th August, he was most insistant in his quest to know if any Mudcatter had enquired about his absence, or wondered at the reason for his temporary withdrawal. Again, he asked me about a dozen times, before going off to lock horns with Sue the piper and approaching the very calm (and very strong) Mr Watson, addressing him with the slightly too direct "who the f*uck are you?" I miss his wisdom. jOhn, will you return soon? Please.

He is a braver man than I to greet Mr Watson in such a manner, Oakley. Particularly after a few bear9's. I wish I had heard that at the time!!!!

I was in close attendance, in case things got nasty, so I could run away properly at the first sign of trouble. We are tough, us West Midlands folk.

He is still off-line, thanks to them buggers at Kingston Interactive Telecom, and their unreasonable demands for payment.

JoHN, UNTILL YOU GET YOUR SERVICE BACK,PLEASE COME TO THE FORESTERS TONIGHT AND SEND A MESSAGE VIA ANOTHER MUDCATTER TO LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW YOU ARE GETTING ON9.

No, Mr H, it is him - I met him at the Foresters this evening and he confirmed that he had posted from a friend's computer. He has been working hard and drinking bear, alternately. He displays an equal hatred of KIT to that, that he displays towards birclys bank.

Smallslipper, you are indeed a worthy recipient of Cara's "Asleep Behind the Settee" - an album of spirited and contemplative music and song from the Celtic tradition. (£12 + £1 p + p available from david.oakley7@btopworld.com). I hope that you are ok, mate.

Yes okaley my friend I am okay - I was slipping away but have been resuced by the wonderfull NIkNak who forced me to go and play music and drink wine with her untill the wee small hours. She even tried to teach me that wonderfull tune wot you composed; Abbyfeel (appols ifn I havn't spulled it wright). However I don't remember agreeing to pay £12.00 +1p+p for your alligidly wonderfill cd but rather i think we agreed that I would take two for the huge sum of £20 the pair. NOw remeber a deals a deal. I also notice that her Majisty the Queen has been using my cookie again, darn, and I asked her to be circumspect about supporting her loyal supject wood worm, tut tut these royals!

Of course, me old haggler, £20 will be ample for a brace of the spirited and contemplative "Asleep Behind the Settee" CDs. Not only have you saved £4 with your bid, you also save the cost and effort of e mailing david.oakley7@btopenworld.com to order your copy. Lucky that this thread is being enjoyed by literally tens of people, otherwise I may have set a precident.
