Three cheers for jOhn the nutter. Snowy is a great name for your new hamster. Let me know if you want any hamster recipes and I will PM them to you. Constantly eating them in sandwiches must get boring.

I'd like to forward you all a message that John sent me when I was going through a bad time, that would show you what John is really like. As most of you have chosen to post as guests, I can't.

A shame.

Oh Dear,
have the GUESTS playing "Piggy In The Middle" now moved on to John?

PITM players like to pick a victim whom they think that no one will defend because nobody likes that person because that person is too tall, too short, too ugly, too beautiful, too smelly, too illiterate, whatever.

Do they think that John is now a suitable victim because now one will defend him?

Wrong!

John sent in a post describing his experiences as a pizza delivery driver in hull. It was a fine post,telling of the young drug addicts he saw as he travelled around.
John is obviously a caring and warm hearted person who is a stranger to bullshit....."Goan yersel jOhn".....Ake

From: PoppaGator

Quirky as jOhn's approach to written language may be, I find his posts much easier to read than those of his imitators here, plus which they're usually interesting and insightful. There's got to be some one-of-a-kind original creative intelligence at work there.

I have *often* seen jOhn's name "misspelled" with a numeral <9> instead of (or in addition to) the capital letter -- not just here in the title of this thread, but earlier, frequently, and I assume by differnt individuals. I thought maybe he used to spell it that way (before my time) and then more-or-less corrected it -- or maybe he or someone else from Hull habitually makes typos hitting the <9> key when intending to type an or on the row immediately beneath.

Subject: RE: BS: joh9n from Hull u r my hero
From: Bobjack

Poppagator,
          You think too much! You are looking for hidden meaning where there ain't none.The answer to the typo's is simple:-
   a) computer keyboards are new to Hull, so there is inevitably a bit of a learning curve involved.
   b) jOhn always types with his mittens on.

I reckon that the real reason that we get all these funny posting from Hull is that their own special telephone system works to completely different protocols to the rest of the network.

From: jacqui c

I will admit to being one of joh9n's fans. His posts are invariably funny and I get the impression that there is a very intelligent individual in there. I like the threads he starts just to get a discussion going - that shows an original mind. I only wish that I could do that kind of thing myself - keep up the good work joh9n.

I agree with Poppagator that joh9n's messages are easier to read than some of the above.

As to why joh9n hasn't posted to the thread - do you think he's got a bit shy of the attention or has the Hull telephone system claimed another victim?

jOhn from hull is one of the most interesting & nice guys you could ever wish to meet, (fact) Blobjacket, on the otherhand, showed me his new bike the other day, and told me it was orange. But it was actually black. (Also fact) Dont let other mudcatters use your computer when they can post under your handle! you never know what they've posted. If jOhn from hull had his own way, he would deliver each & every one of you (with no exception) a curry ship. But you might have to lick it off his tee-shirt. Or lick it off Oaklet. (Oaklet goes around in jOhn's saddle bag)(s).

I like jOhn...I like jOhn...however:

Are the last 2 posts by jOhn brilliant, as some have described his posts as being? I too like jOhn's wit, when he is sober (if in fact he has been drinking when he "types" some of his messages). I understand that he might have a drinking problem and made a New Year's resolution to cut down on the alcoholic drinks. I just don't think encouraging posts like the last two are helpful to him, if they are the result of too much drink. jOhn, your wit will remain sans the alchohol.

jOhn, please take this as it is intended. I think most people do like you (I do) and your posts (some of them). You are a Mudcat staple. If your typing is intentional and "tongue in cheek" that is fine, but if it is because you've had a pint more Guinness than you should have, you can bet that it will elicit those "crank" replies to your threads.

This reply is from someone who gave up drinking because of some of the foolish things done while inebriated.

Also, there are probably some typos and grammatical errors in this post (this is just a forum on the Internet, right?) and you are welcome to point them out.

jOhn, some of your typing and grammar skills are excellent and some, as exemplified by the last two, are not. Your mistyped posts may be funny to us, but probably not for you, if derived from too much alcohol. Sometimes you type and "sumtyme yu "tipe"

If you are the "Foster Brooks" of Mudcat and a comedian, then you have made your mark and fooled many of the rest of us. If you type in an alcoholic stupor, then please cut down on the drinking so we can have you and your wit around for many years to come.

I know, I have no right to judge you and I will never reply to another one of your posts if you tell me I am not welcome to respond. I respect you that much.

I like jOhn from Hull, I like jOhn……… one hundred times!
