Eccentrics

[keepitcovert 842]

Dont you just love them there is a guy in my village that goes around on his bike from dusk to dawn picking up litter with one of those long reach grabs, he is in his seventies and works tirelessly cleaning the place up. Known locally as the womble for obvious reasons , for those thats old enough to remember the programme. Do any of you guys know any characters like that.

Used to be a bloke around here who wore a top hat at all times and when you walked past him in the morning he'd say " good evening" and in the evening "good morning" .

 

Another one who was a bit dodgy called John guns who dressed as a cowboy all the time and took pop shots at people with a air rifle . He pulled a pistol on somone outside a pub and they leathered him and he went inside and never heard or saw of him again .

 

So many more I've forgotten that will come back to me .

 

Love eccentrics . Better conversation than the mind numbing people u usually meet

Yeh, my brother in law, he wanders around everywhere talking pish to anyone who will listen.

 

 

Thinks he`s a medieval pirate rogue.

Used to work on the local market when I was at school, for some reason it was a magnet for all the eccentrics, some great characters.

Bloody hell where do you want to start? Wales is full of them. From Will Penderyn who would drink a bottle of Tabasco sauce for a free pint, Tony Croaker who loved to dress up as a red Indian and parade around the village. Mostly though no harm in them, and nowadays they would have been given help when they were younger.

Where I used to live there was this nutty black fella who used to dress up like a circus ringmaster, complete with top hat and long dreads. He was out in all weathers, all day, directing traffic.

 

I thought he was a harmless loon, but it later transpired he was a drug dealer and if he was wearing the hat it meant he was holding drugs and if not, he wasn't. He was still mental though.

Always wears black and red,it's Amos,I once saw him in Kingston when it was raining with his top hat and a snorkel and mask and divers fins slung over his shoulder,he always chats to himself,the worlds a better place for people with character.
