Yeah, we all know about Purple Aki, essentially Liverpool’s most famous weirdo / sexual predator / convicted felon. But I reckon the country is riddled with other small town freaks worthy of a mention here.

I used to work in Hamilton Square back in the early 2000s, bloke used to sit in the park there having his lunch… with his 12 foot albino snake next to him. He lasted a couple of months doing this before the police told him to fuck off.

I was reminded of said snake charmer when I was walking in Birkenhead Park earlier this week; bloke was there trying out his new radio controlled car… wearing a ski jacket, his underpants, and a pair of brogues, no socks.

    Amps Yeah, we all know about Purple Aki, essentially Liverpool’s biggest ledge.

    Fixed that for you

      Sodo some people really think should he be allowed to do the following?

      Striking, kicking or attempting to strike or kick any vehicle.

      • Urinating or defecating in any place where he can be seen from a public footpath or highway.

      • Being abusive to or threatening to cause injury to a person.

      Imagine some fella kicking fuck out your car before taking a dump on the street outside your house and thinking ‘not a problem, as long as the plod are catching all the muggers’.

      When I was growing up in Chelmsford, we had laughing John (ex footballer who would just walk around pissing himself laughing at everyone and everything. Also had puffer who would run around in ice hockey protective gear shadow boxing everyone

        Christian Laughing John was a regular at The Bay Horse and used on a Flyer for Local Life at Chelmsford Football (ironically) and the other chap in question is the Melbourne nutter (wore glasses) proper crank. Worthy mention for the mid 90’s Oasis fan who minced round Chelmsford town centre in his green parker and red tinted glasses who thought he was Liam…. Poor cunt.

          I’ve just found this on a Beijing based message board that is also, in a bizarre quirk of timing, discussing local weirdos.

          ’There’s a strange English chap who comes in to our local bar and who does the oddest of things. Firstly he wears the most awful clothes, they seem to be an assortment of pastel based oddities paired with the most disgusting trainers you’ve ever seen. He then proceeds to drink a small quantity of lager with his friends and when they buy him shots, he tips them into the plant pots when they go to the loo. He also regularly informs his friends of the differences between using Mandarin Simplified and traditional Chinese when they’re talking about food. We think he’s a complete plank’

          Gary Glitter used to hang around Burford School for years when he lived in Bampton. Kids even back then were saying that he was a wrongun.

            Dry-Tinder anyone who calls themselves “Rubber Bucket” should be on at least 4 lists.

              Plenty of them here.

                LT42 To be fair to Gary, he always had top quality sweets, his purple ones always had cashews and not hazelnuts.

                Shut up Ed, before I stamp on your neck.

                Dan not heard of those guys but have heard of a bloke called Alister who has all sorts of wrong un stories in Chelmsford…
