I do know what you mean. As for kahoonas he had a great life and it's a pity he's not on here anymore. You must know the story?!

He turned out to be a Walter Mitty character. Made up loads of stuff about his great life then eventually killed him off. Someone from here (gramo?) even done a charity skydive in his honour.
Turned out he wasn't really dead and was just an attention seeker - the story made the paper, I can't remember why. Hopefully someone can fill in the gaps.
I can't remember any of his stories but I do remember folk posting loads if them which in isolation were believable but when you saw them all in a list were ridiculous.
That`s right, I remember now. :agree: It`s just my memory which is bad for some things (genuinely) but reading your post brought it all flooding back. I remembered the skydive (and Hibs!) connection at least. :greengrin That`s right, a total mentalist who had everyone going with his fabulous tales of utter nonsense.
Again, I remember that now. I remember the uni degrees and were many of his posts not totally bizarre and always lengthy as well? The one thing that sticks in my memory was the skydive. I remember thinking after it all came out; imagine something had gone wrong and it was all for a make-believe cause...
Thanks for jogging my memory. :wink: Are any of his posts still here on the Forum, in some of the older threads? Or was it too long ago?
I think my absolute favourite bit of the whole story was the guy on Kickback who was 100% insistent he had met Kahoonas/Irvine Jambo. He swore blind even after it had become obvious it was all pish that he knew the guy, sure he even claimed to have visited him in hospital shortly before he 'died'.
Jambo Robbo was a slavering **** as well.
I know Pete and while I didn't realise he was involved in running kickback he's actually a good guy and I'd be very surprised if he's ever been involved in any of the charity embezzlement that hearts and their various supporter organisations have been involved in over the years.
The 'best' Kickback deviant had to be this guy:

Wee Airdrie Jambo might disagree though.
Did they ever find that plasma TV they were giving away?
My apologies if I got this wrong. I have deleted the post. I may be confusing him with someone else. I was sure it was him, but should have got my facts straight before posting so serious a statement or accusation. I know someone who can verify who I was thinking of, so will ask them and get back to you.
