Anyone seen this guy?

LadyJ

Ok I saw this dude crossing Dame St one day and a friend of mine has seen him in various parts of town too. He'ss roughly 30,bleached blonde hair and he wears a massive pair of earphones(the ones that go over your ears). Anyway his most distinctive quality is the way he's constantly "hand-dancing"(as in "big fish,little fish,cardboard box" style). It's pretty hilarious stuff!

Last week I saw him in my own area,still hand-dancing and I just wondered has anyone else spotted him? He's a legend!

talking of characters. Who is that street preacher who stands around dame street with a very loud voice and a megaphone quoting scripture?

Anyone know anything about him?

Is he the same guy you see on Grafton from time to time as well, dancing along to the buskers there?

I saw him a couple of times walking through St. Sthephens Green. I`d love to know what he is at.

LadyJ

My guess is he's either YOKED out of it or else just living life TO THE EXTREME!

Atlas_IRL

u know the really good singers that play on Grafton St(one is english with a blond streak in his hair sorta chinese looking)

He was dancing really funnily to them playin..

He looks like a german tourist.. I broke my **** laughing when i saw him do it..

LadyJ

This guy! He's THE guy! He's just excellent! I'm totally gonna join in with the dancing next time! I could marry that dude!

segadreamcast

Speaking of people in town - has anyone seen that magician on Grafton Street? I think he's English. The Irish Times ran a piece on him a while back - he's bloody good and pretty funny.

Atlas_IRL

ye he's always outside my shop doing his tricks..

haha that dancing dude is funny i shoulda taken a video with my phone..

LadyJ

Keep an eye out and video him if you can! Also,anyone else who sees him,post up photos!

Atlas_IRL

hehe ok dont know if i put them on the internet though its one of those ****ty v550's

dendenz

he is one mad guy, saw him on Grafton Street two weeks ago!

LadyJ

Hmmm.......Grafton St's coming up a lot.....
Right,let's all meet on Grafton St every day from now on and search for him!
Then we'll put him in a bag and force him to dance for money. We'll split the profits of course!

He's always on the 46A, afair he gets on just after stillorgan and gets off at Stephens Green.
I have a feeling that he's mentally disabled or something.

Like 'em twitchy do ya?

Brock

he sounds like a guy who used to live in ballybrack and would go round dancing and singing spice girls, the big ear phones being his give away. he used to dance and make friendship bracelets for spaniards when they came.the last i seen of him he had died his hair.I think his name was peter

LadyJ

Ah Peter! You twitchy dreamboat you!

Third_Echelon

I've seen that guy a few times on grafton st with those buskers... He is pretty funny with all the dancing.. I think he does have some mental problems though. He's not the full shilling.

I think his dancing technique is a cross of somewhere between the dancers in the 'praise you' video by fatboy slim and Napolean Dynamite... legend stuff

You want to marry a mental case who dances in the streets, and whom you know absolutely nothing about. Ahhh women - always with the good decision making ability.

Larianne

Yeah, I've seen him around grafton street/dame street area. Fair play to him. Wonder what he listens too???

Tha Gopher

So how many noticeable characters does the centre of Dublin have?

Ones that ive noticed

The long haired Australian who stands in Temple Bar at the weekends decrying American foreign policy. Hes been locked up more times than a pikey, everywhere between California and Canberra apparently
The black guy who preaches outside BK on O`Connell Street
Used to be an old man preachin at the top of Grafton Street. Last time i saw him was years ago, Jesus In The House was the big song at the time and he didnt appreciate the gang of tracksuited howiyas who started singin it at him
The rappers, Man and the Machine. Theyre bleedin raphid (they are actually)
The wee lads of about 8 singin in Grafton Street, dressed in dirty reebok tops that havent been sold or washed in 5 years in an effort to give Americans the impression that they truly are some genuine irish urchins. The kids you see now look and sound remarkably like the 7 year olds who were doing it when I myself were 7. Either its their younger brothers or they just never grew......

i hate those children with a passion.
also, when youre in cork, by the post office off pana, theres that guy selling the echo. his voice is like a drill. at first i thought he cu-koo, then i was informed that he was fine, mentally, but just chooses to scream Eeeeeeeeechoooooooooooooo at the top of his voice to irratate everyone.

Well,I mean,it's rarely one meets a man who's so open about his eccentricities!
Most of them pretend to be normal while they hide their s'n'm dungeons with a series of one way mirrors and carefully placed art work but,whoa-ho,not this guy! He's insane and lovin it!
Ah,some lunatics are so adorable! Plus doesn't he just seem like such a fun person?!

Ha,how embarrassed would I be if he was a wife-beater! :rolleyes:

Nala

I think I saw the blond guy ye're talking about in Eason's on O'Connell St once. Is he tall with kinda longish hair? Down to his ears maybe?

I don't remember the headphones though.

LadyJ

No,this guy is the spit of Spike from Buffy.

Chinafoot

Maybe he's the bastard son of the crazy old lady that dances and sings on o'connell street?

LadyJ

She's so cool too! She screamed "I love Jesus" in my face one time!

He is brilliant! usually has a crowd around him taking the piss and he is oblivious to it. I remember being flaming drunk and drawing something obscene on his notice board, he turned around and couldnt understand how it had got there, he just stood there with a big shocked head on him. Think he had a drawing of a dog or something and I drew in a guy riding it (or something similar).

That old guy who sits at bank of ireland with a briefcase full of pictures of jesus and playing the tin whistle.

[rant]The FAKE artist opposite of trinity who PRETENDS to draw the pictures. If you walk by him twice you notice that he has been at the same stage of drawing those two pictures for several years. GIT! All those beggars who are wearing the latest puma runners. A friend who works with the Simon community told me that the average beggar on the streets of Dublin can make €80 a day, that €560 a week cash in hand.[/rant]

Kingsize

€560 a week cash in hand

There's a guy that stands usually at the ATM machine in the square in temple bar... Well enough dressed. Umbro runners, denim jacket. Tracky bottoms or jeans...
Anyway, last week he was begging at the ATM asking for money for a hostel because he was homeless. Of course some english dude gave him money, the fool.

A few days later he stopped me near the central bank asking for money for a bus fare home :eek:

I actually said to him, "I thought you were homeless as you were asking me for money for a hostel a few days ago because you said you were homeless?"...
HIM:"eh.. don't know what you are talking about bud..." :mad:

LadyJ

Hold up! I've just received a text from my mate and my beloved dancer has been spotted in Drumcondra beside Fagans pub! I am proceeding on foot,I repeat,on foot!
