I think you are probably right, but where is it that he was meant to be recognised? Is it a shop in the UK or in Oz?

He does not need to look at it now, but like old photographs he may well appreciate it when he is old and grey. lets face it a lot of us would like to feel that we were once famous enough to have all those twitter followers. It is doing no harm at all to leave his account as it is, to be used or not almost as a tribute, and a thankyou to those who supported him. He is surely gratefull of that support, and to delete twitter may feel to him as though he has dissmissed us, I do ot think he would feel like doing that.”

Truth is, maybe he doesn't have particularly good memories of his time in the UK at the moment and doesn't want to rake it all up again. He has had some vile stuff tweeted to him in the past - why open himself up to all that again?

Anyway, he has always been his own person and I'm sure if he starts tweeting again it will be because he wants to and not because he is just going through the motionsl”

Im like crisi, inasmuch as I rarely use twitter.... but .I havent actually seen much nastyness on my timeline itself,
which makes me realise that im not really a twitter expert. It seems a good place for a bit of fun, but I find it so disjointed...!!!!
and if you only dip in and out occasionally it makes even less sense.

So i can imagine that John isnt that interested in twitter at the moment, but will come back at some time if he feels like it.

Morning ...John and twitter interesting thoughts...personally why cant he just be doing like so many people have a twitter account but rarely if ever use it... its just that he has thousands of followers whereas a lot of people have very few followers and rarerly if ever tweet!!...Sadly I tend to overcompensate for them by going mad with mine.....BBL

Hi guys not very nice here today.

It was a shop in Oz which is even better. I bet he would have been thrilled if she had gone up to him.

Not only is it a sports shop in Melbourne, but I can tell you the lovely Sherrie was working just a stone's throw from where John was shopping.

Won't put it on the thread (you can all guess why) but I've seen the pics, she's looking well.

Have been feeling rough all weekend so I shall probably go back to bed for a bit. Just thought you might like a bit of news.

Thanks Lena for the news.

Get yourself back to bed and get some rest. Hope you are feeling very soon. We need you for our choir.

Rehearsals for the JJAT Choristers will start on Wednesday so hope you are all practicing your instruments. We could use a few more threadlings for the shakers and our drum.

Ditto,that's what i liked about him

I like the company on here, and it does feel as if everyone is a like minded friend.

lindy and others, I dont know where we do go from here, I like the idea of there being a core group of people that could meet up on another forum somewhere else.... does anyone have any ideas where we could go? Ali did do the friendship forum ages ago, is that still open?

but then its also lovely to have this thread where we get occasional imput from one or two other old friends as well. And on that basis its useful to hear what everyone else has to say and use the differing opinions to actually think clearly, and make a considered opinion about things.

But we do have the danger of spending a lot of our time going off topic.....or having to talk about John, to justify keeping the thread going....

maybe he could come on here and assist us, by adding a few ridiculous stories into the mix for us to play with.
maybe last weekend he went crocodile hunting in the bush, or had a close encounter on the barrier reef with a shark...?”

BIB1

efinitely agree,even if we don't agree,we still discuss it in a rationally was

BIB2:Lol,are you sure you talking about John James?

Thanks for that bit of info,how do you know though?

Shame,pics can't be posted,but i totally understand

Wonder why?

Does he still have things to sort out,probably?

So we have some news....its still a bit fuzzy and unsubstantiated...but still news

i think the contact with sean is probably the most interesting, if it ends up giving us some kind of contact address for fan mail.

and my suggestion for crazy ideas for what John might be up to, was a way of thinking about how we could mention him......
but to make sure we didnt inadvertently start an awkward rumour, we would have to make it completely unlikely and absurd...
like going shark hunting on the barrier reef....

.although sometimes reality can be even more unlikely than fiction.

and watching and hearing the odd snippets of this years BB, the reality especially the stories around Jay do seem to be far more unlikely than any fiction that could have been written about him!!! If he is as bad as all that, how on earth is he still in the house?

Maybe,or Sean could be saying that just for the sake of it

Lol,that would be gold tv,getting John to do things he doesn't want to.....can you imagine the tantrums

Jay,he's a right laugh,but at same time,disgusting,who shits in a freezer

Really don't think John would have lasted in this year's BB.

course I do...... totally totally believable

I was wondering if maybe John has got in touch with Sean, now he knows that Josie is happy and settled with a new man?
that means he isnt going to run any gauntlet with the pro josie supporters, and also maybe that stops him from feeling a bit guilty for walking out on Josie and the whole TSAJ deal?
