Local characters / weirdos

mad old guy who collects metal despite having loads of money, some cunts battered him recently for his wallet but he's ok now
 
Haha, I just remembered another 'character' (read: total weirdo, in this case) from Edinburgh. I've seen him two or three times, down at the West End near Haymarket and also on Hunter's Square by the Tron. He must have been at least in his late fifties, and was dressed like a boy scout, in a tan uniform with three-quarter length shorts with a keychain running from his belt to one of his pockets. Both times I saw him he was talking to young teenaged guys, which leads me to believe he might have been some kind of deranged pedophille cruising for young boys.

There's this HUGE homeless black bloke with matted old dreads and ripped clothes who hangs around on Leith Walk, he's a scary looking dude. When I first saw him I thought I'd just spotted a monster and had to look twice. He sits outside the 24hr Co-op about 3/4s way down the walk, used to see him all the time when walking home pished. Took pity on him one drunken night and went down to my flat on Junction Street, raided the cupboards and fridge and turned a whole loaf of bread into cheese and ham sandwhiches and went up and gave them to him. He didn't say a word, just snatched them out my hand. The next morning my flatmate was going daft because I'd used all his bread, cheese and ham and when he came in from work at 4am looking for food there was nothing left. I thought when I explained i'd given the food to a homeless person he'd be uinderstanding, he was fucking raging. :D

Are you talking about 'Rastatramp' by any chance? Nice of you to give him a sandwhich. He usually sits on a cardboad throne outside some wine shop if I'm not mistaken.

Here he is:

Also in Edinburgh you've got Elaine with the face piercings. I remember seeing her once when I was like 8 on the bus with my mum. She amazed me.

And then you've also got these two nutters on Clark Street, brothers I think, who are alcoholics. I regularly saw them on my way home on a Sunday morning after a night out, dancing about and being a nuisance at the bus stop.

Observe as Swampy aka Ras Swamp aka J Rass Swamp recites poems & sniffs poppers in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. I've not heard anything about this guy for a while.

"Tam fae Springburn" used to be found on Sauchiehall Street. He always had some top patter & loved busting out Rappers Delight. One of my mates gave him 20 quid one night because he was so entertaining. Apparently he's dead now :(

The Electric Scarecrow. This old dude cuts about dressed like that all the time & is generally a a fucking arsehole all the time. Often found acting the dick on buses around Glasgow.

Sorry for the slight racism but there's no other name for this wee guy. The Midget Paki. Never seen him but the video was massive at one point.

Easy Lionel. Best dunt ever lol.

The last two aren't really famous characters, I don't know anyone that's seen them other than in the two videos. Still worth a mention though.


LOL @ bucket of shite guy & the running man. Fucking brilliant.

I haven't been able to find any videos of the people mentioned above, but here's the Silver Man who's a regular fixture on Princes Street. He's not homeless but I have heard that he's a raging alcoholic.

He's not really a weirdo, just a performer. Plays Glasto every year apparently.#

=D

That's him. Ha ha Rastatramp, didn't know he was called that. I didn't give just a sandwhich I gave him a whole loaf of sandwhiches. It's the Scotmid / Co-op he usually sits outside.

Never seen Elaine the women with the face pearcings though, that's crazy.

Crackhead I hope that 'Easy Lionel' bloke is putting that on for the camera, what a fucking state to be on, priceless. :D

Great thread :D

Bike man here... an old fellow who wears a motor bike helmet and goggles, very short shorts in all weathers and calf length socks with biker ankle books on a push bike with a wicker basket on the front. He shakes his fist at people who stare or say something.

Alas no pootube of him. I admire his wicker basket.

Our local tramp - recently died here. Everyone was rather fond of him and gave him stuff. He used to travel around in the summer and come back here later in the year. Story goes that the council had been trying to give him a house for years, and he had money, but he chose life outside ala Down and Out.
 
Brilliant thread :) - loved 'Easy Lionel' - Can you imagine leaving a club in that state and thinking, Ill just walk home :D
 
Ha, Easy Lionel, I remember seeing that vid ages ago. Thanks for posting Crackhead. :D

Did he ever get home I wonder....?

When he saw the crowd you know he was thinking, "I'm okay, I'm okay, they'll never notice".

I love going down to the newsagent early on a Saturday or Sunday & see people taking the 'walk of shame' home after a night out. The women might as well have a neon sign above them saying "I WAS DRUNK & GOT PROPER FUCKED LAST NIGHT!" :D
 
Can't find any videos, but there's quite alot of weirdos down here.

(The village of Porthtowan is full of them).
 
Easy Lionel is well funny. Especially when he walks off and he looks to have one of those paranoid fits where you know people are watching you and forget how to walk properly.

lol - I know exactly what you mean, its almost as if your legs are working against you :D.
 
Haha cool thread, every town has a few nutters.

We've got,

Cave Man, local alcoholic bloke that used to live in the flats, always found him stood outside the shops speaking pure 100% jibberish, fucking impossible to understand him! He did have a fan page on bebo years back, can't seem to find it now.

Moe, another local alco that thinks hes in the IRA. He danders around with a wooden stick in one hand (his gun) and a bottle of whiskey in the other. You'd see him dandering down the street and shout "Moe, the brits!!", and he'd get on one knee and start scoping about for them.

Mosis. Mosis was some mad english bloke that moved into the local flats. You'd find him dandering into town every day equiped with 2 lidl's bags, his beard down to his belly, wearing bright yellow cord trousers and a big red bomber jacket.

Scarf Woman (Mosis's bird). Little alco woman, think she was originally from the south, had a weird accent and spoken stupidly fast, couldn't make sense out of her. You'd catch her with about 6 layers of clothing on no matter what the weather was, blistering heat or not..dunno how she done it.

Few more crazies from up round the town but don't know much about them. This place is full of mad hatters. Moe is by far the biggest legend to come out of this place though.

He even does a 'casual scratch of the head' which his gibbering brain has come up with as advice on how best to look nonchalant in the circumstances.
