Scabby head man

Fiend-Foe

Do you ever keep seeing the same stranger about?

There's this old guy I always see around town,(Dublin) but never in the same place. He's always somewhere different totally different streets, northside, southside, on the luas once. I spot him every two days or so.

He has a big long white santa beard and a bald head thats covered in horrible scabby looking sores. And he looks kinda sad. Suppose I would be too with a big sore scab head. Anybody know the chap I'm talking about?

There was this lady I used to see all over the place. On random buses, anywhere around the city. Haven't in years though, kinda miss her, hope she's ok...

So is there any random stranger you keep seeing around? And I don't mean the guy who's in the train station every morning or the person who usually gets on your bus.

Ah someone will have seen this guy...

I mentioned him to my G/F and she reckons he used to always come into the health shop she used to work in to buy stuff for his head. Saw him again this morning at the bottom of Grafton St.

Fecker keeps popping up everywhere I go.

Erm, Fiend-toe - this dude has a scabby head? I didn't notice this assuming I know who you're talking about - does he wear these funky red shades?

If so, I got my picture taken with him one drunken night...

Where was the pic taken?

Silenceisbliss

Surely you'd have more luck asking this in the Dublin City forum? In fact, I think there's already a thread about the "Characters of the city".

Ever keep seeing a stranger and want to have sex with them?
I used to keep seeing this hot blonde at my bus stop every morning,always looked done up with short skirts or figure-hugging clothes.She hasnt been round in a while,she must've read my t houghts.

Dudess

No, I can't say I'm familiar with him... Hang on, I'm in Cork, not Dublin - so that would explain why.

Welcome to After Hours, frequented by people from all over Ireland and further afield... not just Dublin.

Anyone see that really tall, broadly built woman with the long black hair who wears skirts barely touching her arse? I used to see her everywhere but not so much lately. She's in Cork by the way. I have to mention that but there'd be no need if she was in Dublin of course...

You even take for granted so much everyone here is gonna be from Dublin that you don't even mention Dublin in your post...

Eh,he asks "Do people keep seeing the same stranger around the place".
He illustrates his question with an example you assume is based in Dublin.
Whats the matter with you people?

No because I wasn't asking about him, I was asking about people you you see about the place often but have no idea who they are.

Again, that was an example. Does everybody know each other in Cork?? I thought maybe people there could relate to seeing strangers about the place too, sorry... :rolleyes:

You're right. The OP could have been talking about the Cork or Limerick LUAS.

This to me indicates the OP's talking about Dublin. I'm not from Dublin but do live there, don't get the whole 'touchiness' from people living outside of it.

When I lived there I was the exact same as you, now that I've moved back to Cork, I understand the "touchiness". It's just the presumptuousnes that we're all from Dublin that I object to. If the thread was "Local characters" and the post was describing oddballs the OP sees around Dublin, grand, but the way it's phrased - "they'll all know what I'm talking about" kinda manner... totally reads as if we're all from Dublin.

Fixed OP for you, I wasn't really talking about Dublin you kind of missed the point, it could have been any town replace luas with bus etc.

I was talking about strangers, not the man or the town.

Chill...

I didn't notice if he had a plastic bag. Yup big white beard. He was wearing red framed sunglasses at about 1am.

Pic was taken just outside Charlies in Templebar.

Use the one appropriate. I for one don't care about jackeen characters or oddballs in Cork, but maybe it's just me.

Templebar in Dublin yup.

Ah just had a quick natter, usual drunken yap. I'd a fair few on me and only recalled it all the next day when I looked at my phone pics!

Had some shocked face for about ten seconds before it all hit me.

i know a guy to see who fits that description(didn't notice the scabby head). he hangs around bank of ireland on college green drinking whiskey all day if it's the guy i think it is, and he's craaaaaaaazy!

Naos

Yeah I have no idea if he had a scabby head or not!

Infact upon reviewing of said picture - his head does not look scabby!

patrickc

does the guy carry books under his arms? and a phone on a string on his arm also? he usually wears a long navy coat?

Yeah the coat, seen him with books the odd time. Dunno about the phone never been too close to him!

Naos

Okay is this him?

Edit: Pic Removed due to clarification was not the Santa in question

Ah no, Don't think so. Maybe. That guy looks healthier. Very similar. The Scab head guy has a thinner face I think.

And his head is covered in these horrible scabs (obviously) That rise up a bout 1/2cm.

I'm going to get a pic next time I see him. Probably won't for ages now.

Theres something wrong with your face!

nope he's a homeless chap I know, and he might not appreciate his pic on the net without consent

This thread has turned into a discussion about that dude in particular, so sorry dudess...

Theres quite a homeless community online. Their very computer savvy. Who do think really maintains the internet.

Naos

Ah I've removed the pic regardless after reading Patrickc's post.

Doc

It’s just because he’s slightly odd looking and stands out that you notice him so much. I bet you see loads of the same people all the time but because they don’t look out of the ordinary you don’t notice that you see them often. If you painted yourself orange and walked trough town every day people would recognise you too.

(Do that will you so we can see how many of us notice you.)

Ye, I used to see this guy most days at the Luas stop at Jervis. The scabs on his head were not very easy on the eye.

Fiend-Foe

Yeah, like a load of crunchy nut cornflakes glued to the head.

Yum!
