rossthejambo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 i wasnt on JKB that often when IJ was around but i do remember him "dying" and the whole charity jump etc. when i started hearing about it being a fake i just found it absolutely hilarious. then when the whole coming clean thread appeared that was the best thread ever. one of the best hour or so's reading ever. still have to pity the guy though. to be that depressed to make up a fake persona and then kill him off. eastenders wouldnt be able to come up with a story like that!

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You could say it was a charity scam...but I don't believe Craig (real guy) made any cash out of it. When IJ died it was suggested that the cash raised went to his family, Craig said no and that it should be given to some other charity. That's what happened. Folk did give money to a charity in order to remember a guy who never existed. Nobody made anything out of it, other than the charity - which to me is a good thing. I've met Craig on one occasion and talked to him on the phone a few times. He's a nice guy, who made up a persona on the internet (I bet loads of folk do...In fact a fellow JKBer, whose name rhymes with Peave - goes on to Lesbian chat rooms and makes up fake folk in hope of receiving pornographic material from other Lesbians), albeit he took it way to far. It did provide real-life(ish) entertainment for a week and something which could easily me made into a film. I proper "lol'd" there! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I will give credit to Therapist, he suspected it from the off... may just have been down to his hatred of all things Nationalist though Correct. He talks a lot of mince most of the time but he was like a pit bull with a bone on that one. He wouldn't let it go no matter how much abuse was thrown at him. His painstaking detective work quickly had me doubting the existence of the sainted I.J. It was great to watch. Easily the best thread in the history of JKB.

The Duke Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I just can't help but feel a little admiration for "Creag", he's a right cyber Walter Mitty by all accounts!!! ps - i'm not him by the way!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think the defining turning points were the lack of any records of donations to the SNP and no registered deaths of anyone of that name. The detective work put in was phenominal! Did we ever find out who he was? http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=209738239 Haha. I don't think so. The boy is walking around unaware he is the public face of the internet's greatest ever Walter Mitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other one-bawed men in history who have achieved anything like me? I doubt it. Quick shout out to my friends on Jamboskickback.co.uk and to my chums on the Tartan Army Messageboard, i love you guys, you make my baw tingle like John Collins with a hamster up his dung funnell.

I P Knightley Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i wasnt on JKB that often when IJ was around but i do remember him "dying" and the whole charity jump etc. when i started hearing about it being a fake i just found it absolutely hilarious. then when the whole coming clean thread appeared that was the best thread ever. one of the best hour or so's reading ever. still have to pity the guy though. to be that depressed to make up a fake persona and then kill him off. eastenders wouldnt be able to come up with a story like that! Similar for me. By the time I'd started on JKB, there was the Irvine Jambo Memorial Fund banner but I never read the history to see where it had come from. I like to think that if I'd seen his original postings, I'd have been more than a bit sceptical; maybe not of his existence, but I doubt I'd have warmed to such a deluded fantasist. Then when the questions started coming, I took an interest in people's reactions to defiling the memory of somebody who they'd never actually met in person. It was almost Princess Diana-like in the ferocity of views on both sides. The admission and disappearance was brilliant - and I'd lived through Dallas, who shot JR & the shower scene so my standards are pretty high A great saga I doubt we'll see its likes again Puts football into perspective etc...
