Sometimes you see yer man with the checkered jacket, and wellies rolled down to his ankles and he would be mullocking away with crates of beer in the yard around the corner near tesco. He has a really squeeky vioice.

Ah, that'd be Bosco Madigan

You serious, he should have put that dog on Britains Got Talent - Simon Cowell was crying out for an act like that

I'm sure a lot of people would remember Frankie Byrne from the Villa football club. Dedicated his life to the club, a good man.

Speaking of Football Clubs, the guy who looks like Santa at all the Tramore AFC games is a total ledgebag (!) He's even got a Tramore AFC tattoo on his leg! Philly or somethin his name is. Plays Santa around town at Christmas, and I even saw him performing with a gospel choir in Red Square the week before the Tall Ships! Supposedly a really nice guy, my da knows him fairly well.

Tommy the wank engine. Jaysus he was an awful idiot.

[up for anything]

There was a man in the early 80s who used to hang around Burgerland. He had a wild, red, straggly comb-over and was known as Fuckthepig/Screwthepig because legend has it that he had. I always wanted to feel sorry for him but he was an aggressive so and so.

That'd be Kev Power. Pretty sure he was in Australia for a while and kept the fro the whole time. Must have been roasting. Good musician is Kev. Still meet him the odd time around town.
