    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! :D

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭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..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Atlas_IRL


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 526 ✭✭✭dendenz


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭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.

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    Ah Peter! You twitchy dreamboat you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,867 ✭✭✭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 :p

    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.
