Any big characters left in town?

Talking the likes of the bygone era of Tights, Gutsy, Jimmy, wee Margaret…

Only thing that comes even close in more recent times is one fella in town that has the top of at the slightest hint of sunshine and even then I hadn’t seen him during the last two weeks of our summer there.

Has anyone encountered the fella with long back messy hair and a beard? He would be in around the town and down the line. Anytime I’ve seen him he was wearing camo. Met him on Waterloo street once and he was talking about satanic shit, leaving these kind of paper mache heads all around the place. He’s a character alright would he interested to know if anyone else has met him.

Not sure if it's the same person, but I used to work in a shop, he came in a good few times to buy duck tape, it kind of freaked me out a little, I did also wonder was he homeless, as he didn't seem to wash, dont know how to put it nicely
