i slightly remember the guy you are talking about, always has a big winter kind of jacket he sits on ,, blue if i remember correctly
ive spoken to him a few times when i used to go to the priory .. used to get free drink and always skip the cue there
was ace there was always this cocky prick on the doors that would ID people obviously old enough to get in then let fucking 14 year old tarts in no worries
he done the same with me asking for ID .. so i called him on letting in the teensy boppers and asked why he let them in and he started to get arrogant as fuck with me so i called the manager on my mobile who came out told the guy off and let all of me and my mates in past the cue (manager was a mate back then)
i smiled ever so slightly as i walked right past him lol
i love putting wankers like that in their place , they think cos they are on the door they have super human rights
remember that cunt that got off with killing someone outside charlies

I've spotted a guy in the west end of Glasgow cutting about on a unicycle. Not for a laugh, just as if it was a bike. Dressed in a suit, obviously heading to or from work on his fucking unicycle. Bet he thinks he's a right "character". Fucking wanker.

Hahaha, that brings back some memories. Taking the piss out anyone that owned a Riva or had a family member that owned one. Good times.

We have Dirty Harry (aka. Fat Harry). Not quite on the level of some of the others posted, but can usually be found sat in the bus stop perving on kids and schoolgirls, asking for money and making the place smell like shit. He doesn't wash so you can smell him from a good few metres away, and is banned from some shops for this very reason. Here's a video of him sat watching kids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P06zLn6rWbM&feature=related
When I worked in a shop in the town centre we used to get loads of crazies coming in. Alas, I don't know any of their "official" names, so couldn't find any vids or pics.
The two who stand out in my mind are: Caterpillar Man, who came into the shop wearing only a green sleeping bag, stood facing a wall and walked sideways round the entire perimeter of the shop like a crab, and then walked out of the shop and down the street normally as if nothing had happened and he wasn't a guy wearing only a sleeping bag.
Then there was 'Scary Mary', who saw me watching her walk down the street through the shop window. She was walking along normally until she spotted me looking at her, then suddenly ran in the shop all hyped up like there was an emergency and shouted "Are you safe in here?!... Are you?!" I told her I was. She continued... "It's not safe when people can just look at you through windows you know!" She didn't like the amused look I gave her, so she came right up to my face and shouted "OH GREAT! I BET YOU THINK I'M A FUCKING WEIRDO NOW DON'T YOU?!" Then she went quiet again, shook her head and left. Pretty scary stuff when you don't expect it and she's brandishing a mean looking walking stick in your face.
There were many others but most of them just a sad look into the future of where we are all bound to end up: Old, don't know what day it is, walking round town in a dressing gown and slippers and smelling strongly of piss (a la 'Cat Piss Lady').
Oh and whilst looking for videos of these lot, I found this. Not from Wigan, but hilarious. Anyone from Croydon know these golden oldies?

God, there's been loads over the years.
There used to be a black fella in Heaton Moor who used to ride around on his bike, with music blaring from his earphones. He had a habit of slowly cycling up the side of buses, then slapping the driver's window making him jump. :D Used to do it all the time. This was probably early 90's.
Then there was a fella who used to do random crap singing sessions outside the Arndale.

Then there's Dancing Ray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAK5REqA7oM
I think he ended up on Britain's Got Talent! :D

Also dunno if anyone knows about the wizard guy in sutton. the guy is a nutter. thinks he is a genuine wizard. sometimes has a cat on his shoulder, and walks with some mad wizard cane.
His animals died when his flat set on fire..
Poor guy.
I remember seeing him walking around wallington looking for his cat.. it turned out it'd been hit by a car but survived
Dunno if it was one of the animals in the flat when i burned..It was either his dog or his cat that was called Gandalf
+ He was already mentioned in this thread

There's a black guy who rides around Piccadilly Gardens and Oxford rd (only places I've seen him anyway), with a boombox attached to his bike blasting music. Looks quite old, maybe the same guy?
There used to be a guy that hung around the bus station in Rochdale, with his walkman on, just singing loudly. I may have already mentioned him. However, he disappeared for years and years, and now he appears to be back! (Unless it's someone new). Always good for a laugh. There's another one or two that just walk around the town, swearing - loudly. Life would be boring without all these characters. They brighten the mood.

Genius thread 
I often like the names they acquire even more than the comitragic antics. Sadly memory fails me but sure more will occur to me soon enough now the seed has been sewn. Only one that leaps to mind is Jimmy Twosticks from the last place I lived. More or less the traditional alkytramp (with permanent crutches although nobody ever knew why) but was also a really nice fella when sober - could have a proper conversation with him when he wasn't fighting pigeons and stuff. Came complete with the mysterious backstory so common in such situations too - supposedly a millionaire and apparently owned a massive house on the edge of town but preferred to drink Special Brew and sleep rough. He died not long before I left but nobody seemed to be entirely sure whether it was down just to the booze or something more sinister - some folks said he was kicked to death one night. Hope not but seems to happen frequently even though 99.99% of all known town nutters never hurt a fly, provide colour and entertainment to many and almost always have had pretty fuckin' awful shit happen to them in the past
Closest thing to a nutter where I am now (other than myself - most folks here would probably say the town nutter was me, to be honest) is that other classic species - the old hippy homeless busker fella. This one always wears a tie-dye T-shirt and the shortest shorts you ever did see. Doesn't seem to live here but often comes into town and sits on the pavement playing his geetar. No known name though and not really a proper nutter but as good as it gets here. I don't dare look up myself on PooToob cos I may just be on there in some state or other a few years back...
Hahahahaha! Nutters do so buses - "It's a camel job - they're the worst!"
