Has anyone noticed the one who has been sat on the bench outside the post office on princes crescent now for about 7days?
Who?
What?
Why?

Literally 7 days now, probably goes for some food every now n then but apart from that he pretty much owns that bench!

He's not doing any harm

I have noticed him, I saw him the other night on my way to the dog. I thought it would be funny to boot him in the shin and watch him chase me, but he just didn't move. Then after I'd had many pints he was waiting for me outside the premier shop where he proceeded to kick several shades of sh*t out of me. When Rob checked the CCTV there was no-one to be seen. I have heard that he collects snakes and chomp bars, i'd love to fly my kite with him, although he'd have to get a bath first, he smells worse than you ezz.

I beg to differ!!
But seriously anyone know who he is or actually seen him?

Not seen him at all, but am going to divert that way homeward tonight just for a nosey !!

He had been living in the bus shelter at Happy Mount Park from last October onwards, right through the winter until it was demolished last month.

Courtesy of google earth.

I suspect the lads are on a fishing trip - but, Moose, the chap you're on about was, indeed, rendered homeless by that demolition and I'd wondered where he would go.

Me and the girls went out on Christmas morning last year with the express intent of inviting him to dinner at our house - but he wasn't there!

Another Shrimps fan I know had earlier taken him some clothes for the winter.

A friend of mine has been giving him food, I believe he is an urban fox.

I reckon it's Pobble having had too much of Red Red Wine....

Not a fishing trip, there genuinely is a guy who is sitting on that bench day after day!! Got his bags packed underneath it too

the man has opted out of a failing society/nation, he gets the odd act of kindness from passers by , whatever his story is, his society have let him down.

Poor sod, yes same bloke who was "living" in the shelter on the prom.

I believe this gent is a free spirt whom over the years have been let down by our economy time after time, unfortunately in this day and age we live in this poor soul will just become another statistic in this cruel world.

That, old chum, is possibly the best thing I've seen you post and one of the best posts I've seen on here for a long time. Nice one.
