Joey Russ 7,263 Posted November 18, 2017 Who? EDIT: Unless you’re talking about the actor or musician Simon Jones, this guy is not deathlisty at all and honestly doesn’t deserve his own thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,639 Posted November 18, 2017 Was a bit worried when I saw this thread. Simon Jones = Arthur Dent. Who is this imposter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted November 19, 2017 For a minute I thought this was the ex-England quick bowler who was part of the Ashes winning team of 2005. I know that his injury plagued career had gotten him down a bit,but hopefully he doesn't fall into the "he might do something daft" category. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,536 Posted November 19, 2017 Googled Simon Jones, it brought up 3 other Simon Jones's. Hitchhikers Guide (ie THE Simon Jones), cricketer, and bassist for The Verve. Then Googled Simon Jones businessman and it brought up 8 other Simon Jones's, all UK businessmen who have nothing to do with Detroit. So I Googled "Simon Jones, Detroit businessman", and the 2nd link was this thread. Is this April 1st? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I searched for him in Google images, and the first in the list was the avatar of Joey Russ (the DL forum member). I'd be shocked if he got an obit anywhere (except maybe a few local newspapers and facebook). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebless 203 Posted November 19, 2017 Just to admit that Simon Jones the Detroit Businessman does not exist, thought of a random fictional name and wanted to see how you other users would react. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,185 Posted November 19, 2017 Or we could just use this thread for the real Simon Jones and make the joke on OP? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,683 Posted November 19, 2017 Incidentally there is the odd semi-famous Simon Jones This fella works for BBC South East, says in his bio he always wanted to be a radio DJ and currently spends most of his working time reporting local news. I'd say the shot below is from some compelling event involving traffic through the Port of Dover. Jones still has the look of a man who's mother does his clothes shopping which is why there was much amusement a while ago when one report involved him heading into a head shop to score some evidence of selling of legal highs. Clearly the shop staff were sampling the produce because in any sane state of mind they'd have greeted him with gales of laughter followed by questions about whether he'd come through the right door.

RIP Wee Jum 1,559 Posted November 19, 2017 I know somebody with man flu who could be a possibility for the list. At least 10 other people know who he is, but unfortunately I dont think he has any link to Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
