I had a run in with Purple Aki as well, he used to intimidate students in the campus in town.

Anyone remember Jaffa

I remember Jaffa. All the Kop used to sing Jaffa is our leader. Top bloke.

Who's that blonde grock? Never saw him before... Gonna have to keep my eyes open for him!!!!

Who remembers that boss tramp who used to hang around outside the Playhouse and the Jobcentre and Wimpy? Had no toes in his trainers and he used to stand there with his hand out and he'd be shaking his whole body as if he was freezing, saying his repeated mantra "Have you got 50 pence for a cup of tea please?"

Me and my mate Malky used to rate the tramps in the order of how much they made us laugh (i.e. picking letfover food or half drunk milkshakes out of bins and eating/drinking it etc... in full public view) and he was our favourite tramp in Liverpool City Centre.

Saw him having a right barney with this other fella in Queens Square once and the insult "...you fucking tramp..." got thrown at him.

Should have saw his reation, hahahaha, he went fucking nuts!!!! "Who are you calling a fucking tramp?" as if he was dead offended and he wasn't one!!!!! I was nearly having a heart attack laughing watching this unfold!!!!

:laugh:

Dunno if it's the same guy JMAC but there used to be an old tramp hangin' around Williamson Sq. (around sayers on the corner), had like grey/white hair and beard and he used to stand there with a cardboard guitar and sorta making a noise like a tune.

Didn't see him for a couple a months and then just before christmas one year saw him on the same corner dressed as santa

. Saw him again couple of weeks after chrimbo and his cardboard guitar had been upgraded to an old tennis racket - looked like he'd ad a good xmas. :laugh:
