jimr Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Martin is ok. I used to see him most days when I was skating. Never have I seen such skills before. He doesn't oillie he simply wills himself up curbs on sheer determination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened with that - did he ever get done for it?[/quote']that would be austin. he terrifies me. i don't think anything ever happened about the other guy.There's another trampy type who wanders about a lot getting angry at people for no reason. He always has broken glasses and has a big rucksack. he lives in a tent out Cults way somewhere and quite often gets thrown out of shops for being angry. He can quite often be seen of a morning having arguments with his reflection in the window of Edwin's barber shop.yeah, my mum speaks to him quite a lot. the whole anger thing and talking to himself is an after-effect of either the gulf or the falklands war. not sure which, but he was a sergeant or something else well high up and something triggered in him after the war and he went a bit mental. he's always saying how he wishes he could just go back to the army, cos apparently it was his life but they let him go because of his mental health. he still keeps army regiment, and gets up every morning well early and walks into town and then walks home in the evening. he's well good at photography though.there's also the drunk woman from king street, always seen on the arm of a different king street tramp. i think she gives sex to whoever shares their beer. i'm sure one of my friends saw her and some guy shagging down somerfield terrace or something. she regularly takes her shoes off and throws them into the bushes by safeway.

Flash@TMB Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Has Klepto been mentioned yet? The big hairy [i believe he's homeless?] guy that collects glasses in the Moorings when he's in and randomly steals things from pubs all over Aberdeen? Sits in front of the Trinity Centre?That's Garth, he's our minesweeper and bodyguard again 'n again 'n again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Has anyone seen the guy that has like a spiders web tattooed over his whole face? He's pretty scary!That's Spiderman, he's banned from most bars because he "has a problm with people staring at him" ??? The ink extends under his hair so when he shaves his head theres this web all over it.He was a regular in The Satelite Bar, but a bit of a Norman Bates Nae Mates character. He's barred from The Moorings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Laura@TMB Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I've seen most of these ppl, but feel strangely cheated that i've never seen the cardboard- box-over-head-waving-man, particularly as he's supposed to do his stuff in the Market St area!! Don't think I've seen running-hoover-man either (yet) ...Anyone know the German-swearing-tourist/hillwalker lookalike man. About mid 50's, usually around Guild/Market St area. Grey hair, German-style hat complete with feather, anorak, rucksack (with badges I think), waves hands around alot and shouts at you in something akin to German ?He's come in to the pub a few times through the day, the only word I can understand is "whisky". He seems to understand my reply OK tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always shows his seaman passport thing and calls everyone Das Englander ? Generally harmless but very very very drunk and annoying....

He does not react well to being given the Nazi salute and having "Heil Hitler" shouted at him.We've all missed possibly the 2 most annoying people in Aberdeen BTW:1) Bad Joke Neil AKA Lorry Driver Neil with the cap, gray beard and specs. He's a weegie to and supports Celtic.2) Air Guitar Kenny. Do you like Alice Cooper? Do you like Garry Moore? Do you like Thin Lizzy? He once put "Hey Stoopid" on the jukbox 14x in a single day. He sleeps with both the 1 legged prostitute (another celeb) and her alleged mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laura@TMB Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 That's him ragudave! I agree harmless, but always VERY vocal, and very very drunk.And just for you psydoll, here's Garth. Very handy with a brush at closing time, and if you need to know the price of a Morgan's & coke in any pub in Aberdeen, at any given time of the day, just ask Garth - he's yer man.

psydoll Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Is that a tub of pickled onions in Garth's hand??Flash - was Air Guitar Kenny the guy that you had to remove when I originally came down to see about the Wrecking Ball DJ slot? It's a name I've heard a lot but nae sure if I'm putting the right name to the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laura@TMB Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 That is an ace photo of Garth. I think he's had one too many peach snappes mixed with tomato juice, export and morgans (with LOTS of ice) again 'n again, that night !I have a terrible confession to make now...I have actually been inside Garth's flat.Don't ask !And psydoll, air guitar Kenny is that man you speak of.
