...in the near future, you can blame this moron who consented to having a picture of his actual passport placed on the Internet.

Not very responsible of the newspaper - they should have blurred out his passport number.

People had already nicknamed me Rambo. I had a really short fuse and I always wore a bandana

In my short time in the army, we called people like this NUTTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the last thing you want in any combat situation is people with a short fuse, you'll all die because Rambo thinks he can take on the entire opposing force

and as for posting his passport??? oh Jaysus Mary and Joseph

I guess that Harry Potter is still available.

That is friggin hilarious. Where do you begin apart, from slapping The Daily Mail for publishing his passport piccy.

He has honed the same skills as his icon, making himself an expert on aircraft, weaponry and survival.

Also especially an expert at flipping burgers at Planet Hollywood.

Fair play to him for sh*gging Bridget Nielson though.

I put a reply into the paper, it may not be published though

Nutter on both sides, his and the paper

Survialist nutcase running loose in East Cheam

Tony would have been proud

It is not just John's name that makes him stand out from the crowd as a real-life action hero.

How the hell is this drongo a hero at all?

Quote:

Wearing a bandana and combat trousers he is the spitting image of Sylvester Stallone's character in the popular films.

Since when has Rambo, in any of the films, worn a porn star moustache?

Quote:

"I am the chairman of the civilian committee for the 1073 Skegness Squadron Air Training Corps so that is right along the line of my interests."

Oh yeah, just like John Rambo - Green Beret, Medal of Honor... Rolling Eyes

I notice that they refer to him being single twice... no surprises there...

I'll close with this:

Quote:

Skegness' own John Rambo might draws stunned glances from passers-by as he patrols through the town in full military get-up and bandana, but at least no one dares mess with him.

I think most people would be too embarrassed for him to laugh in his face.

<br>Tommo's 10 Interesting Facts That You Never Knew About Skegness...

1. Skegness is Latin for 'Place on the east coast where the sun never shines and strange jolly fishermen prance around on the beach smoking pipes'.

2. Sylvester Stalone on honeymoon with his pneumatic bride in the seaside town in 1990 once came third in a John Rambo lookalike competition. His wife Bridget Nielson came second. As per usual.

3. The tide goes so far out in Skegness that it never comes back in again.

4. Skegness has the largest concentration of Zimmer frames and Stanner stair lifts per head of population and the highest suicide rate outside of Southend.

5. Nobody ever leaves Skegness alive. This makes it one of the top euthanasia holiday destinations in the world outside of Switzerland. (see 8 below)

6. Skegness has the highest sales of knotted handkerchiefs and deckchair hire of anywhere in the civilised world.

7. In 1936 Billy Butlin set up his first Butlins Holiday Camp in Skegness on the site of a former turnip field.

8. Old people are not buried or cremated in Skegness when they pass away. They are propped up in the sea front shelters to make the place look busy.

9. Skegness is still a regular point of call for thousands of people from the East Midlands who couldn't find Scarborough on the map.

10. The RMS Titanic sailed from Skegness pier on its maiden voyage.

Not surprisingly, only one of the above statements is true.

I posted about this story on another forum and one response stated that our Rambo wannabe looked more like Australian underworld hardman turned author, Chopper Read.

You decide.

I also suppose it's hard for him to get picked up in the airport? I mean.. with people holding up signs Wink

Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:13 am

So what did he survive, 12 years of weekly McDonalds kiddy meals?

Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:53 am

Nevermind being picked up at the airport - getting through security is gonna be the biggest adventure he's ever gonna do.

"Welcome to JFK airport, Sir. Can I see your passport please? What is the reason of your stay, Mr Rambo - Small war, drug cartell, or just a holiday?"

Thank you for your email and bringing the issue to our attention.

The man mentioned in the story issued us with the passport image. To be on the safe side I have now removed the image.

better late than never i suppose

It's still there if you follow the link in JMR's original post in this thread.

@ Yastreb, the passport image has been removed from the aritcle when I go to JMR's link.

This guy IS a hero, please stop laughing at him. He's the chairman of the civilian committee for the 1073 Skegness Squadron Air Training Corps. Life is tough for an adult instructor in the Air Training corps. There can be some major scuffles with the 293rd Skeggy scout troop over the road.

I was in the Air Training corps once. Then I reached 16 and went to get a real job. This man probably shouldn't be within 100 feet of kids.
