Rubbed up the wrong way?

I notice, with some dismay, that 'american's' post on tantric massage (or whatever it was) has been deleted.

What does or who does PowWow refer to?

PowWow is 'american' (allegedly)- maverick poster, humourist, very popular.

Pow wow is a long standing PBH member whose account has been deleted countless times by the moderators.

His latest incarnation is "american". You can always spot pow wow by his signature writing style and favourite topics. Insouciant use of punctuation is one hallmark of pow wow's writing. You'll never see him use a question mark, for example.

Opinion is divided about whether he's a cynical troll, cleverly steering the conversation for laughs. Or just an earnest guy from North London who's usually struggling with his Colombian wife.

Pow wow threads usually turn out to be entertaining.

Certain PBHers and moderators criticise pow wow for ignoring the rules and posting on subjects that have nothing to do with Colombia. However pow wow's role as a catalyst for PBH banter and wisecracks, as well as his situation as the underdog of the forum, make him a sympathetic character who is warmly appreciated by many PBHers.

que nota!

You're welcome Paul.

Pedro's description is an excellent summation of the man.

As to the cynical/earnest debate- my phone conversations with the man firmly incline me to the latter.

I've just had an image of us in a grimy London pub, staring forlornly into our pints as the rain beats against the windows.

I would'nt mind being in a grimy London pub with you Kalder. I can't think of a better reason to visit London.

kalder says on Apr 4, 2008, 06:55:

You know- you're right. Drinking all day in grimy London pubs is actually great fun. About 6.00 we could go for burgers, then carry on all night.
