This guy is playing piano in public to show his ex how much he 'loves' her.

Presumably he didn't know about the big protest because he can't hear anything with his head so far up his arse?

I wish "Rapunzel" luck and a non-mol order.

I'm eagerly awaiting The Pool getting hold of this story Grin

DameDoom · 10/09/2017 11:14

'For Love'? 'Non-Stop Playing' OMFG. I am repelled. How fucking mortifying can one person be?

He needs help - now.

For the woman's sake, I hope he is just a complete bellend rather than a potentially very dangerous stalker.

Every hair on my body stood up watching him. Beyond cringe.

Someone has put in the Comments: Interestingly Evening post not allowing comments pointing out the likeness between this guy and the Luke Howard banned from teaching

Agerbilatemycardigan · 10/09/2017 11:15

Male Entitlement, the musical Grin

He is creepy. So much so, that I do hope that "Rapunzel" isn't real and just a self-promotion tactic.

If she is real, then I hope the papers aren't stupid enough to find and publish who she is. She needs to be left alone to get on with her life.

OldPony · 10/09/2017 11:16

Oh dear Luke. Go home.

He says the traditional sending of flowers and writing letters didn't work, so now this....

RaspberryOverload · 10/09/2017 11:18

The Luke Howard banned from teaching would be 48 or thereabouts. This chap is supposed to be 34 and doesn't look 48ish to me.

Not the same bloke.

OldPony · 10/09/2017 11:20

Still a bellend

ScarletForYa · 10/09/2017 11:22

Mr Howard said he had no idea there was Bristol’s biggest protest in a generation planned for midday on Saturday

Ha, ha. He gave it an irritated glance. Bet he was fuming his pathetic stunt was drowned out!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 10/09/2017 11:23

OF course they're not allowing comments. It's not the same person. The teacher struck off was born in 1969 and this nobber was born around 1983.

MyBrilliantDisguise · 10/09/2017 11:23

Thanks, Raspberry, yes, I just came on to correct myself.

DJBaggySmalls · 10/09/2017 11:26

Any legal bods around? I know women who have struggled to get a restraining order...would this be enough?

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 10/09/2017 11:27

The contrast is quite something:

Lots of people protesting against austerity and in so doing actively thinking of others.

Luke Howard sat forlornly at his piano, with his hair in his eyes, both bewildered and irritated that life continues for others when it is so clearly over! A man apparently so far up his own backside he has no idea there are even other people in the world not interested in him and his self-pitying.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/09/2017 11:30

I agree Moving so self absorbed. I'm sure he's practiced that sad tortured soul face in the mirror.

ComputerUserNotTrained · 10/09/2017 11:30

If that's one of the pianos that are dotted around Bristol for people to play, he's hogging it. Which is pretty selfish. You're meant to take turns!

He's been listening to 'the script' too much.

ZerbaPadnaTigre · 10/09/2017 11:36

Luke Howard is hardly an uncommon name. Very shitty to suggest it's the same person when it's very easy to see that they're not. Banned teacher is born in 1969 and a two second Google shows that piano man is 34.

Frogtits · 10/09/2017 11:39

Ok - it's obviously a different guy.

I have reported my post and asked for it to be removed.

Gileswithachainsaw · 10/09/2017 11:44

Yanbu

But then tbh I think alot if PDAs are creepy.

Either using the fact you are in public ti promot answer you might not get if alone at home.

Or basically just marking your territory.

Hardly romantic if the person has no chance to say "no"

SweetLuck · 10/09/2017 11:48

He's still a twat though.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/09/2017 11:55

one of the pianos dotted around Bristol for people to play yes what a piano hogger!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/09/2017 11:56

I like his piano, though - held together with string and hope . . .

sonjadog · 10/09/2017 12:07

He really hasn't´t thought this through, has he...

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 10/09/2017 12:13

It's his own piano. He's just nicked the idea of the pianos and multiplied it by a factor of Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
