Jonathan King is the most odious, smug **** to have ever lived in the UK in the last 20 years. Discuss?

But your IP number tells us an awful lot about you.

If you knew him you'd know he isn't odious, smug or a ****.

If you really knew him you'd know he's opinionated,sometimes irritating, big-headed and at times pig headed and often annoying with a line in dodgy headgear(thankfully less colourful than previously).

You'd also know he can have a reasoned debate about things, he's talented and has proved it over & over again, he's a wonderful self publicist, he's a loyal friend, he's passionate about the Industry we work in, he's NOTHING like portrayed in the media and he's quite happy to take any shit life throws at him and still get on with it. Ultimately he doesn't give a toss about what others think of him as he's got enough friends to rely on- hence the reason he bothered to post your pathetic post in the first place DISCUSS.

Very rude comment "alan", and this is a very polite message board, there was no need of the board to have put your message on the web, we send our messages to each other nicely on here.

I wouldn't normally bother to put such a pointless post up but sometimes it's good to remember there ARE some people like this out there (thankfully very few and, judging by the IP numbers, usually the same person!).

You obnoxious ba**ard! Jonathan King is an intelligent, witty, down to earth, very opinionated , kind but very honest guy. Should you ever meet JK you would soon realise this!!

To have any sort of meaningful discussion on your proposed topic we must first be made aware of any pre-formed prejudices you may have against the subject. I have nothing but positive things to say about JK but in fairness i do not know him and i never have. How about you Alan?

Only the last 20 years though JK, which must mean he thought you were superb from 65-85

Surely half the fun of being offensive to someone is letting them know who said it?

Assuming some of us may not already know, for locating ISP addresses, try www.geektools.com/whois.php

quite right Martin and Terry - when was the last time there was a bad post? a lot of tipsters are loyal JK fans, who all supported him during his troubled time.

It is a good job we have tipsters Terry and Martin who has always got something good to say.

Best wishes JK

Alan do us a favour shut up and keep your obnoxious thoughts to yourself, no one likes you and get off the messageboard.

Jonathan King and fellow tipsters have helped me discover new bands like Crying Shames, Don Partridge.

They have given me advice.

We are one big happy family here.
