Okay, I have to ask...

[AnnieM]

Baron, what's with the pink stretch knickers?

[The Baron]

Morning, Annie.

It's him: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3320&start=30

[AnnieM]

ahhhhhhhhhh....

[Stanley Fernando]

Who is he?

[The Baron]

Ah, right...

Johnigoe73 is the muppet who's been paying ridiculous amounts for Red Shadows on ebay, and I really do mean ridiculous. There was a period of about four weeks where absolutely everybody here got outbid by him with no excpetions. He's mad.

He's been invited to join the gang a few times by a number of people, he must have a hell of a collection by now, but he has ignored every request - not even a no thankyou, just blanked us.

He's been the (hot-pink-satin-clad) butt of a few jokes for a while now.

Check his feedback for his "money is no object" approach.

[Stanley Fernando]

So its because hes outbid you lot and didn't want to join the forum? Yeah, he looks like a twat, and I'm a fairly mysanthropic individual so thats no slight but if someones got the cash, wants something, outbids you and doesn't want to get involved on forums leave them to it....

I went through a phase where I hated Action Man forums as there can be some right c--ts on those.....mind you, they still are c--ts in my view ha ha!

[The Baron]

No, that's not it at all. It's not like we all burst into tears whenever we get outbid, sf1378.

Johnigoe's reputation has built up steadily out of our incredulity - £72 for a pair of incomplete laser exterminators and a battletank

to the point where now he has become something of a legend - a collector gone mad. Add in him blanking all of us, then yeah, he comes off as pretty arrogant.

Mix all that up and dress him in pink satin hotpants and he's crying out to be ridiculed.

As for "looks like a twat" I don't even know what that means.

A Goofbay search makes interesting reading - last 120 days - £2055 spent. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as I'm sure that there are times when we've all had a good spend, just interesting.

On a quick scan down his Red Shadows army stands proud at at least 46 - and this is in the last 120 days. It is surpassed only by his Star Wars clones army, and his collection of frilly pants.

Some entries dont have photos next to them, so cant be sure, but I'm guessing there were no more Shadows added to the army as a result of any purchases from the "Transgender Mart".

I'm sure if ever he does join up he may be a perfectly decent chap though, and I'd like to see a picture of his Shadow Army.

[The Kraken Wakes]

So theres another transgender action force collector out there? Yay! I feel all good about myself...

I agree he may appear a nutter, but who's the nutter?

Here's a small compilation of what is happening here...

• Grown ups talking like children about small dollies.
• Grown ups painting dollies and setting up dioramas.
• Grown ups seriously begging a toy company to revive 'our' toy line.
• Grown ups that think it is cool to dress up as our favourite hero.
• Grown ups that are more likely to be found online on a bulleting board on a saturday night that at the local pub.
• Grown ups debating story lines, discussing fictional characters, so forth and so on.

For the outside world we all behave like childish nutters!

I suggest each and every single one of us goes to the pub tonight, drink pints untill we fall over and end up the bed of some peroxide blonde you cannot remember the name of the next morning. Next to that, during the entire weekend we will not change our underwear, we'll burp and fart in public and refuse to take out the garbage. This weekend we will be grown up men!

Those who survive this weekend and manage to salvage their relationship are allowed to laugh at pinky pants starting this Monday!
