Now I have posted this comment, that featured in the next post, in way of supporting the somewhat self depreciating reality of my own personalised style
just in case you, dear reader, ever think that I exaggerate my stories...read on
Jason, I thank you
"little
tale about John for you....about two weeks ago, we had about 4 days of
incessant rain and he was out and about dressed as an Alaskan Crab
fisherman in the Berings straits.......he was waterproofed from head to
er...well ankle.....because despite all his weather gear and obvious
deep rooted awareness not to get his clothes wet in any way shape or
form, he had ventured out in the same damn crocs !! he had socks on
underneath as well !! what did ZZTOP say ? "Every girls crazy about a
sharped dressed man..."....thats not John....he looks like a bag lady
always carrying a small bag of dog poo !! - he is has become the
Trelawnyd equivalent of the weird cat lady or that lady who sits on a
bench in town feeding the disgusting street pigeons and letting them sit
on her shoulders ! .....he will go down in history as one of the
oddballs of Trelawnyd !!people will be blogging about him in about 50
years.....thats what makes him interesting !!"
I just bought a pair of Crocs for the house instead of slippers.........
ReplyDeleteFunny what Jason wrote though!
forgot to mention that his habit of farting every 20 seconds has the effect of some kind of jet propulsion that causes his swalking speed to increase from about 2MPH to around 10MPH.....then he slows back down again as the urge has passed.....one of these days i am going to ask a police officer to train his speed gun on him to get a more accurate reading.
ReplyDeletePlease video and post ASAP.
DeleteJane x
I have a great fondness for slippers....
ReplyDelete...and that's what makes him interesting...
ReplyDeleteand so I rest my case, John The Dogs.
We all suspected as much.... Thanks Jason.
ReplyDeleteI never doubted this for a second.
ReplyDeleteMe neither!!!!
DeleteThat's our John - writing his own history while still living LOL!
DeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh lord, laughing out loud here - at all of it, especially Jason's added comment. Youse guys crack me up.
ReplyDeleteAm laughing out loud :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very fond comment...lovely!
ReplyDeleteI've just burnt my Crocs. Both pairs.
ReplyDeleteAt least you will be remembered - far worse to be bland and forgotten.
ReplyDeleteNot only Crocs, but Crocs with socks? Oh my!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...now who have I gotten myself associated with? Ah well, as long as the dogs outnumber the cats, I guess I'll stick with ya! (I really, really wish Chris had a blog, too.)
ReplyDeleteInteresting and apparently his fashion sense doesn't override his excellence as a quiz partner on quiz night.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure people have thought the same about me when i wear my foul weather gear about the house if i have to do outside tasks when it's pouring down rain. Although i prefer boots to crocs.
it's all glamour over west isn't it... crocks and socks is retro chic darling... everyone knows that!
ReplyDeleteJohn, you are a walking work of (f)art!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Jason. xxxxx
ReplyDeleteJason, his fans demand pictures..
ReplyDeletei need to allow him some dignity........sod it, i'll see what i can do !
ReplyDeleteI love this post. And Jason you're brilliant. Our John is a celebrity already.
ReplyDeleteyou make me laugh. I love you, I really do
ReplyDeleteThere will be a book written about him yet - or a folk song which will go down in Welsh history. I keep telling him to write the book before somebody else does - if there is money to be made - he should make it!
ReplyDeleteHave just caught up with the blog this evening... as surprisingly enough I have been having a life all day
ReplyDeletethanks to all for your comments
I suspect Jason will be having his own show on radio 4 soon!
At your expense, shall we expect? Hahaha ...
Deleteyes indeed and i my first guest shall be yourself.....dialogue will no doubt follow something like this:
Delete"and today we shall be discussing the merits of sensible attire on a wet and windy day....."
whats your opinion "50 shades of John Gray ?"
" what a croc...."
John, you are a treasure!
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it nice to be interesting! (Jason is very funny and clearly loves you!)
ReplyDeleteYou are a gem of a man, John, and wonderful to know, even if it is through your blog writings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant title for a book -'Fifty Shades of John Grey' Love it
ReplyDeleteWrong colour - meant 'Gray' of course
ReplyDeleteThere you have it. It's not the package, it's the contents. Except, we do expect the visual impact will not change. However, would we recognize you in ICU?
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll read that blog and enjoy it!! :-) But IF you need to feel any better, and I don't think you do, I've no doubt they may be writing a chapter about me too--' The dog lady on Mountain Road.'
ReplyDeleteOh John, I have never suspected you were exaggerating! You are an anomaly....and we all love it that way!
ReplyDeleteEvery community needs an eccentric....I had one living across the street from me as a child...I loved her and learned so much from her and while in the garden now....think about her...so there you go Johnny....still gotta get rid of those crocs though! winkers!
ReplyDeleteRon
I know a lot of people who swear by their crocs. If I could get past the price, I'd try a pair.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, John!
That's the John we love crocs n'all.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up and this made my day. Crocs with socks. Perfect. This is the look we should all aspire too, I know I do. Mine are orange and a little bit chewed by my dogs. They go really well with my pink stripy socks and skinny jeans. Photo please of the 'John Gray look. '
ReplyDeleteWonderful perspective John. It's always funny to find out what others think of us, bag lady and all!
