tutankamun Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The Gilcomspton Tramp said he was a mercenary soldier back in the day. No idea how he ended up a tramp but he was definitely a hard bloke in his day. He has a tattoo which he reckons proves his status, anyone know anything about military tattoos? (this one is meant to prove that he is a mercenary) Link to comment
tutankamun Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Is that the guy that walked funny and wore a dress? I really worried for that guy every time I saw him. Totally vunerable to attack... 'Shakey-heedy-manny' is deed. RIP. Link to comment
Admin Bebo Posted April 24, 2009 Admin Share Posted April 24, 2009 Who the f**k at the BBC commissioned a documentary with Peter Dow in it? Also, anyone find it ironic how he flys The Lion Rampant flag, which is a symbol of Scottish Royalty, yet he want's a republican Scotland with a president... Link to comment

Also, anyone find it ironic how he flys The Lion Rampant flag, which is a symbol of Scottish Royalty, yet he want's a republican Scotland with a president... what a fukin joke. the guys a total loony-tune. The true cost of the Queen to the Scots are disasters, deaths and missed opportunities. The Queen is to blame for- the Dunblane Primary School massacre, Piper Alpha and numerous other accidents and murders- the ruination of the Scottish universities as key wealth generation institutions. blaming the Queen for 'accidents'. I might actually give the boy a fair hearing if he (like us all) was willing to contribute to the Scottish economy himself (apart from you students, you know who you are) but no, he's never done an honest days work in his life.

NorthernLights24 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I just saw this old guy walk past my flat. He has two walking sticks and I often see him around the area I stay (between Great Western Road and Union Groove). I've only spoken to him once when I was putting out the recycling stuff one night a few months ago. Anyone else spotted him? Link to comment

Boy in the kilt always goes to asda in bridge of don. I went to school with him at Kemnay Academy. We used to call him Rave on John. Link to comment
tup Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 There's nothing like ripping the sh*t from halfwits as a means of boosting your own self confidence. Mind thon clown that used to hold a bag of glue to his face and hang about shop doorways on Schoolhill? Link to comment

tup Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I spend my entire existence tearing shreds from those less fortunate than me. What self-affirmation you get from doing so. Survival of the fittest and all that, I'd expect them to tear me apart if I was cutting about with a hair lip or something for instance. There's nothing beats the laughs you get from making a fool of some hapless idiot, especially when you're young and you might get a chase off them. They used to have court jesters back in the day, basically just glaikit fowk who would make a c**t of themselves to uproarious acclaim from large crowds. Fantastic plan, no idea why it was dispensed with in the modern era. 1 Link to comment

Seems a cheery chap, though looks as though he could collapse at any moment. Link to comment

Don't think the skins have been washed in years!!Reminds me of the tramp boy you see wondering bout the city centre, large guy with beard and matted hair. Stood next to me in foundry once and stunk the whole bar out. Link to comment

OddJob Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I remember when i used to live in Seaton over 20 years ago there was an old guy who used to walk about the area and he f**king stank. Had a big beard and think it was a brown coat he wore and folk used to call him unsurprisingly "The Stinky Man". Link to comment
