I wouldn't be surprised it was this album.

I think it's fair to say he has some kind of mental illness.

I haven't seen him myself but one of my mates told me about him, he used to always see him getting the bus outside Sound Control on Jamaica st. I'll ask him if he has any stories to share.

Talk about a small world. I have just come across a picture of this chap on flickr. I don't like to post a link without the photographers permission but if you know your way around flickr you will find it in the Glasgow Buddies pool.

Walbass, just spotted the photo on flickr. Can't say I've seen the
chap yet, but never say never.

He came into the supermarket where I work a lot, until he was banned for various misdemenours genrally relating to inuendo verbal abuse of staff and customers and making a pest of himself.

The guys been around the town for years I've spoken to him a number of times always brightens up the dullest of Glasgow days. 8)

He also dosen't take shite from any wideo's either I've seen him straight talk any chancers into seeing the error of thier ways.

He's a cool guy if a bit wired to the moon but it would be a duller place without him.

He was to quick to snap btw ::):

Here's the pic and no I didn't ask his permission.

No way was I leaving a Steak N'Cheese Jalepeno on Italian Cheese & Herb bread unattended with that pair of greedy basturts Cumbo and Fossil plus a Junkie on the prowl! ::):

I usually find he gets on the next bus as the one he is heading toward isn't good enough.

From the description I believe he may be an undercover police agent.
