Harmless loonies are fun!

I like someone who`s a bit odd in a harmless way.
I was on the move when I saw this, but I want to be his friend

If you can see in his bags, a lot of loo rolls there

I don`t know if you can see it well enough but he has covered his shades and visor with foil???

When I lived in Derby there was a guy on a pushbike that had zxr400 side panels attached to it.
He would ride round the city centre in a leather jacket and open face helmet making "neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeowm" noises as he went.

There's a guy in Plymouth who rides around on a mountain bike like a dick, on pavements, and he has fitted the front mudguard of a MX bike to it (green).

We just have a mad tramp on a bike who wears women's clothes

A mad bloke who chases fire engines on his push bike shouting newnaw

And a woman who carries that many bags on her bike she is impossible to overtake on a country lane(she does the laundry for a local engineering company and takes ooveralls home on her bike and back when clean)

just remember though if you don't know of the local nutter you may well be it

we also have one who has told us he runs over the malverns in front of the sas and his best mate axel rose (guns and roses) keeps texting him for advice

and another who chases rats all night in his second floor apartment wears shades and a wooley hat whatever the weather
and has been banned from every local pub and a few for miles around even though he has come into a considerable amount of money

My old local used to get three loonies all at once on a tuesdafirst was mad Mick who thought everyone was the devil except his dog who ironically was called Damien
Then there was dDave with a d (called this as he kept calling my missus decky with a d ) her name is Becky
He used to come in the pub have a pint and keep ordering hhalf's after a mouthful
Then walk along the train tracks home at midnight

Then the third was fruitbat

She was nutty as a fruitcake and only came out at night
Found out she had two kids and left them in bed to go out so didn't come out til the neighbours shut their curtains
She was fit as bit a complete loony with it

When I worked in Dewsbury I used to see a bloke whizzing down the road on a ped without a lid or a plate. There's a lot of steep hills so he could build up some decent speed too. Get a bit closer and I found out why he's not wearing a lid, it's been adapted with cycle pedals. Saw him once or twice pulled over and showing the police that there was nothing under the seat. Must have been bloody heavy going back up the hills.

The foil on visor and shades is one thing but I'm intrigued by the haul of kitchen roll


I wonder if it's crash protection?

There was a guy in Oldham a good few years back who was semi - in - famous.

He LOVED Fire engines. He had himself a radio and listened for the calls for Fire Engines and for where they were going to go.

EVERY TIME a Fire was reported, he was often there before the Engine. The police ended up investigating him because, rightly, they had a suspicion that he was actually setting the fires. He wasn't. They left him to it.

The kitchen roll is obviously for a massive fapathon, as we all know it's far more absorbent than loo roll and doesn't
leave tissue debris stuck all over your helmet after cleanups innit.
They just couldn't use that example in their Juan Sheet advertising campaign, although I really wish they would.

When I was a kid, there was a black fella (clearly not all the ticket ) who used to sit in the seat directly behind
the bus driver of the bus I used to get to school and 'read' out the night befores News at 10 (including the bongs )
He'd be dressed head to to in black clothing, and anorak and had his nutter bus pass hanging round his neck like a roadie.
I worked in the local newsagent around then and he came in there once while I was filling up the penny sweets
and started whispering that he was Jack the ripper and that he was going to kill me and all that, but he was harmless
really though he was looking for a reaction, when he never got one he went away again. I find it fascinating how
the human brain can go on the blink like that, he seemed entirely unaware of social convention. Got the
feeling even back then that his life wasn't going to be a long one for some reason. He did just suddenly
disappear some 20 odd years ago and I (or my folks who live nearby) haven't seen him since. We used to
call him Chalky the ripper (It was the 80s) after the day he went off on his psycho killer fantasy in the newsagents.

A Jock called Jock, outwardly seemed pretty sensible and had a common sense approach to doing his job, did it pretty well too.

Tea breaks and lunch breaks he rolled out London Underground maps and pens, neatly drawn coloured lines everywhere, I could tell that he often did a lot of work on the maps the evening before.

He was redesigning the London Underground network, I am not sure exactly what aspects.

I got on fine with him, nobody else would sit near him and they avoided him at all times.

I bet the others thought I was odd for being his only 'pal' at work, he was pretty well educated too and generally very knowledgeable.

Even though he was one of the best workers, he was bumped at first opportunity when work load slackened off, guess they were afraid of him.

I told him I was sorry that he was leaving, he said "they always pay me off first".

Poor guy, he was harmless, just eccentric.

story over

[DrDonnyBrago]

We had Bob Trapnell.

He looked, lived and acted like a tramp, but had a house. As a kid of about 8 I saw a part portion of chips on the floor with a dog turd perched neatly on top, he lifted the shit with his hand and ate the chips, with the same hand. I never did figure out why there was a dog turd on chips, but my mum assures me I wasn't mistaken.

He would also push a shopping trolley around scouring bins and fly tipping sites for stuff he wanted, then horde it in his house and back garden. He also bathed in the sea fully clothed. Apparently when his neighbours kept complaining about the filth he bought their house.

Pretty sure he is dead now.

There was also a woman who pushed an empty pram around.

Bike related, I walked up to the Enfield on Tuesday to find some decrepit Medallion Man hovering around it.

He was ostensibly interested in asking about it, but it then quickly devolved into a recitation of all the bikes he'd had down the years, as these things often do.

When I expressed ignorance of (and not much interest in) what a Laverda Jota was, he got faux-joking outraged. "Are you on a wind up? Where's my camera? You don't know? Are you having a laugh?"

As I wasn't having much of a laugh, I declined the opportunity to Click Here To Learn More and climbed aboard, at which point he went from faux to actual mental, howling red faced about some other ancient relic that he (said) he'd had, then "King of bikes, pal, look it up! King of bikes! Are you for real? KING OF BIKES!"

Swift kick (start), cheery wave, and off into the sunset, bemused. Looked it up, still no wiser. Does anyone except Tef have any idea what he was on about?

KING OF BIKES!

Trowbridge when I was growing up had a few mad people around.

First there was Paddy, who would walk around wearing what looked like a patchwork quilt and roam the town picking up litter. Kinda like a low rent Lord Bath. (Who I have also met and is nearly as Barmy).

Then there was Stevie. He would spend his days stood opposite the Chicago Rock cafe near the park. He would never go inside as far as I saw. Huge milk bottle glasses. Looked a cross between Carlton from Fresh Prince and Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys.

And the best one was a guy I simply remember as Crazy Black Guy. He would either be wearing a hawaiian shirt shorts and sandals or an perfectly turned out suit. He would wander the town centre singing at shop windows and passers by. Always smiling.

I moved away 10 years ago, though I do visit. Not seen any of them in years though in my brief forays back there.

Oh, from the past, St Andrews hosted the infamous and redoubtable Mr and Mrs Ross, who would inform the stuuuudents that we were surely bound for the pit unless we came to their Special Church.

They would appear wherever youthful sinners could be found, bearing placards and leaflets, to tell us - volubly and sadly respectively - that we were certainly going to burn in hell unless we came and heard the true word of the Gospels.

That said, Mrs Ross did go round picking up litter from the beaches, but mostly so she could be shocked and appalled at all the discarded drinks containers and used prophylactics.

Might have had a point, I suppose. " Informative", you mad, spiteful old bat.
