Yes, about this time yesterday - but was reinstated by about 11pm

He came back and started posting silly things again.

I think it's a shame he's gone, as Jonty has a lot of interesting things to say, but it seems Munkitty Tunkitty just won't let him...

Got banned for a few hours last night. Probably for the same reason. Posting gibberish all over the place & bumping old threads.

wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Perhaps he's had half a glass of wine. Thank the lord we don't have smellivision.

What was his username by any chance?

Not 100% sure but I think it was Federico Amato.

Especially if you'll be on Big Mouth in the Summer.

Federico Adamo. Here's his profile

And these were the threads he started:

Haha I was just reading that thread. Very bizarre!

How come Beth is no longer a mod?

No idea, sorry.

Ta Electra!

Beth left DS mod position back in 2006 (?) I think

Glad he was banned. There are rules to abide with, and he was behaving like an edjit.

Just noticed he's showing logged in but still banned. This place gets odder by the day

Yeah, that is confusing.... Hello Jonty, if you're reading this

Some of us want you around so I hope the ban's not permanent. Maybe you could just have a quiet word in Munkitty Tunkitty's ear and ask him to let you use his account to post a few things yourself occasionally.

This is Munkitty Tunkitty. Would all FMs gather on the sofas IMMEDIATELY. I've noticed you've been asking Jonty a lot of questions. I'm sure he'll be happy to answer them all if you go to his dreary Roman Day (fun for all the family - all that rubbish!) at Colchester Castle on 1st March. For details on this non-event please call (01206) 282-939. With any luck enough of you will go that they'll keep getting him to do stuff like that and I'll be able to stay here typing RUBBISH into my YouTube and Digital Spy accounts and I won't have to listen to another dreary lecture from Jonty about how I've "let the team down" for getting myself BANNED for weeks on end! WOOOOUND!

MT you are not the messiah......you are a very very naughty boy.
You know you will get banned for advertising, as Lesley did for promoting her b**k, on this very forum!

You need to be more creative your reply, and I am suspect you will be rewarded thrice over.

My friend, I loved the way that last sentence of yours made absolutely no sense whatsoever! We are clearly two of a kind and have been drinking the same thing all night. Banned, you say? The amusement of getting Jonty banned a SECOND time! I suppose I could let you know that if you type in "Jonty's Big Tour" on YouTube, you'll get to see the idiot? Is that advertising... actually, no, that's just a link to another free site... hmmm. Needs some work. I'll think of something. In the meantime I should be pleased to invite you to join me and my good friend Jerome Kerviel and we can screw up Europe's economy together. WOOOOOOOOOUND!

Excuse my taking so long to reply - I've been nationalising banks left right and Northern.

You don't get told in before you go into hiding, you know, so the big fat fool gave his job up on the grounds that he was about to go away for two weeks and it might (or might not) turn into three months. It didn't: he was abroad for four weeks and then dumped back in England and told he was "on standby" in time to see Shabnam come out and Billi, Brian, Jonathan and Liam go in. His introduction to watching the show was seeing a row about a banana between Shabnam and Charley. MA HA HA!

I can't be bothered with this: I'll let Jonty use my account. He doesn't often post here but I'll let him because I don't know the answers. Jonty? Over here!

Hello, it's Jonty here. In answer to the first, yes I do. I was wondering how long that goes on and I had dinner with Stuart from 2001 the other day and he said, all these years on, he gets on average at least one a day still!

In answer to your second point, that was (and, indeed, is) both of us.

I've never met John. I'd like to. It's interesting you guessed Eugene and I would make friends. He's one of the few people from the whole "BB" world I've met who I suspect will be a friend for life. We get on really well together. When we first met in Glasgow (I'd been to the Museums Association conference and he was working at the local branch of the BBC) we found a place to eat above a casino and chatted until about 04:00!

My favourite in "BB:CH" was Liam partly because I really fancied him and partly because I felt he wasn't really given a chance. Everyone said, "oh, he isn't integrating - he's not making the effort to join in with the others..." well, kt takes two not to tango and I'm not sure the others gave him much time. I think their world was very different from his and so it was harder for him to break that barrier down that it was for the others, who were that little bit more off the same page as each other. I think his editing wasn't very fair (which is true of most of us). He will always be known for one particular activity he did in there, which they chose to highlight. However, he certainly won't be the only person in the house ever to have done that...

Moving swiftly on I can't answer your last question because I was in it. There's no comparison between being in and watching so I can compare others but not that one. WHat I would say, though, was that I envy the "BB:CH" people their range of tasks. I'd fantasised before I got in of one like the Andy McNab one. I still wonder how I'd have got on. I thiught it was so interesting that Anthony cracked and Amy didn't. I think tasks like that genuinely tell you things about yourself that you might not have known. And it challenged our perceptions as viewers in terms of male v. female; boxer v. artist and so on.

Jonty's a member of the Society of Friends of Richard III, rather than the Richard III Society, he's told me. Their world is newsletters rather than the Internet, from what I can gather. The fat fool doesn't seem to notice that Richard's reign ended in 1485 and it's now 2008. He needs to get a life!

Earlier on in the Music Department two more people were fooling about with my breath. THAT MADE ME VERY ANGRY! ANd so, just for that - I'M GOING TO SMASH MY BATHROOM UP! WOUND!

I shall hand you over to Jonty for this one. Jonty? Over here!

Hello! It's Jonty here.

Thank you for that. Yes, indeed, I've been focussing particularly on the history of Scotland since I've been out and have bought a great big book on King Alexander III. If you're English you probably won't have come across him but he's rather important - at the Battle of Largs in 1263 he expelled the Norwegians from the Western Isles, the Isle of Man and the Orkneys and Shetlands and Scotland grew in size tremendously - it's retained most of that territory to this day. And he was an incurable romantic. The reason he died so suddenly was that he had just got married again to a new beautiful young wife and he was galloping rapidly over the cliffs to see her in the dark at night (against all advice)... and died in the attempt. If that one accident on that fateful night hadn't happened we'd probably never had had the Balliols, Robert the Bruce, the Stuart Dynasty (maybe no Civil War in the 1640s?) - everything would have changed. And all because a man couldn't wait to see his wife all those hundreds of years ago.

I'm putting in to do a show called "Upstaged" where contestants, if they're successful, will have to show off their special skill for six hours non-stop. I doubt very much I'll get picked but, if I am, I shall waffle on about history for six hours. I really hope it happens. It'd be like a dream come true for me (maybe a bit of a nightmare for everybody else - I don't know!).

Not a language for me. I'll have to get that big fat idiot Jonty over here YET AGAIN! Jonty? You're wanted!

Siwmae - dyma Jonty. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Buaswn i'n lico cwrdd a hi'n dda iawn ond, yn anffodus, dydw i ddim yn cael rhyw (dim ond palfodi) felly efallai buase hi'n well os hi'n cael gwr arall! Hwyl hwyl hwyl, eh? Mae hi'n swnio fel fy nheip o berson!
