I think I'm going to start using this forum again

Post by Jon Stitcher »

Topic says it all,

I need a new challenge, I'm gonna get good on apterous and then beg for another go at Countdown, it's been nearly 10 years since I offered lots of fake words and I need a distraction from the monotomy of poker. Apterous could be what I'm looking for.

Plus I'm enjoying the 30th anniversary tournament which is the first shows I've watched in about 2 years.

Old faces, will be good to reignite the banter.

New faces, hello, I'm Jon. I'm annoying and quite a troll.

That is all.

Great to hear! :) You may want to also get yourself along to some co-events to reacquaint yourself with everyone, I hear there's one going down soon...

Ben, it's your fault. Just watched your show today.

I think there is something in the name Jon that makes you into a cunt. Am I allowed to use that word here?

No, dropping a c-bomb is usually a week's ban if a first offence.

Sorry, my post was meant to mean "there's only room for one Jon who's annoying and a troll, and that position is filled" rather than just being outwardly abusive, but on second reading that possibly wasn't clear enough.

Let's start again.

Hi, I'm Jon.

I do miss pointless irrelevant threads, especially ones that invoke the word "cunt".

So, what are your views on Maggie Thatcher?

Hi Jon,

We've not met but I remember hearing your name before as a poker playing countdown watcher!

I was just wondering what poker games you play? I'm guessing something mainly online, since I don't think I've encountered you on the live circuit...

Gl with the mission!

Play PLO instead, problem solved + probably way more money

Hi Jon

Welcome back to the world of Countdown. I too am a returnee to the forum after a lengthy absence. We have met before at COLIN events some years ago now.
I'm quite good with fake words myself, having famously offered 'BINHEADS' in one game at COLIN 2007.
Look forward to seeing you around.

Anthony
