@clampkid Thank you so much, but that doesn't answer my question. No offence :(

It’s technically correct but extremely unusual (though you will find that structure in older novels). No one would ever say it that way.
“That man was such a pain in the neck that I hope I never meet him again” or “That man was such a pain in the neck. I hope I never meet him again” are two alternatives.
