Scabby head man

    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?

    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".

    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...

    Most regional forums has a "characters" thread
    Stab city http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055204067
    Scumbagville http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055265744
    The real capital http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=292579
    Tribe city http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055082042

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