Happy Face 29 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) I know it's terribly sad that some people end up like this, but round my way I remember... Black Bag Man Never ventured out without a 2 by 3 foot bit of card wrapped in bin liner, he uses it to shield his face from the public. Randomly told people who's attention he'd inadvertantly demanded to "Fuck Off" before darting off toward seclusion. Cowboy Used to turn up for a private BYOBBBQ without the BBQ at Chichester metro every day. He perfected the old west look with a jauntily angled stetson on his head and whatever tipple he'd purloined in a brown paper bag. Looked and sounded like Walter Huston in The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre. The Traffic Warden Puts in a 16 hour shift at the Mill Dam roundabout 7 days a week. In a duffle coat that has 90% disintegrated he directs cars as if his life depended on it. Never tires of people ignoring his every signal. Paddy Casey The saddest of all the cases for me, he used to regularly try his luck getting a warm in the pub I worked at. He could be enticed out with the offer of a tab or some dregs in a bottle. Special mention has to go to his line of designer headwear, he utilised the feathers of pigeons and seagulls the length of King Street to fashion a headdress Chief Sitting Bull would be proud of. He died recently Edited November 10, 2006 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13609 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Nicholas is about the only one I can think of. No clue what's wrong with him but he has a tendency to tell you to "fuck off" and spit at you if you don't give him chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 There are far, far too many of them in Gloucester. I'm thinking of doing a Gloucester ghost walk type thing, only instead of ghosts, I'd try and hunt down 'Mister Eighteen Years,' 'Tim Abrahams,' 'Clive Shipton,' and 'That guy who records spirit voices and keeps his money in the finger of his gloves'. And many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Not heard much of him recently, but "Gary" used to walk around the whole of the city drunk, using a range of different areas for drinking and sleeping, and often followed women home.

The Fish 10430 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 MC Knobehead anyone remember this lad, struts up and down Northumberland St rapping along to whatever black fella (calm down Gemmil) he's listening to on his walkman. Oblivious to the world around, how much of a tit he looks and that he's whiter than a KKK Rally. One for the lads in Leeds Scarey Mary 50 odd yr old who merrily sits in the Hyde Park pub talking to herself and mumbling, but if the place is just that right level of busy where it's filled with chatter, but not so loud you have to shout, you can see a glint in her eye as she engages in a full blown argument with herself. I mean Finger Wagging, Eye rolling, gasps of Shock, the whole kit and kaboodle. Great fun to observe, but terrifying to sit near. Bernard Dunno his real name, but he's a middle aged man who come into the Hyde Park Pub on the weekend on his todd. Wanders about a bit, looking at all the 18yr old freshers, holding two drinks at all times as if trying to give the impression he's with his mate who's just popped off to the loo. He even came in Fancy dress on Haloween, dressed as the least convincing vampire... Dracula wouldn't be able to bring himself to bite this pathetic old bastard.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Used to be a bloke hang round the Beacon Centre in Shields who use to shout out the words to Bon Jovi songs at the top of his voice whilst randomly walking round. When I say shout out, I mean shout out. He made no attempt to sing them or give them the rythym of the original song. Just...shout...them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 There's a woman who lives a few houses down from me, and one day outside her house there was a bloke wandering around with only his boxers on, chatting on the phone and holding a knife. A few mins later, the police arrived and took him away. Apparently he'd flipped and it was his mother who called the police and was hiding inside. He's of a sound mind again now, I see him on occasion when I'm walking home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Disco Dennis Sells Evening Gazettes in the High Street. Old NHS glasses and a perma-dirty face. Dresses up like a character from Saturday Night Fever at weekends and throws himself about the dancefloor in local clubs early on when no one else is dancing (he must be about 50 like). Looks a bit like Les from Vic Reeves Big Night Out. In the summer I saw him having a 'bath' in the sea with a bottle of fairy liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
