anyone ever come across the 'im the king of sahara desert' bloke?, he usually gets on anyone of the busses around the corner in harehills from the medical museum.



he gets on the bus with his army camo trousers and sometimes jacket and token can of stella in his hand, then starts with the bus driver, and to the nearest woman or man who makes eye contact he starts his performace with them, mainly he goes upstairs on busses and sits next to the nearest woman and trys to chat them up with the line above, then says 'you can be one of my queens'



obviously quite a few of you wont need to get busses anymore due to owning cars but in his drunken state he also does it when he gets off the bus and around the bus stop to anyone who gives him any attention, not seen him in a long time but wondered wether any of you have come across him before?

Anyone remember the black fella that used to walk around chapeltown road stripped to the waist in the middle of winter. He was a big bugger so wouldn't imagine many people would have been calling him a poseur or questioning his mental state.

Wasn't one of the Jeffers family was it?



When I used to work at the Jobcentre at the bottom of Eastgate there were a few members of the same family used to come in, a couple of whom were the odd penny or two short of the proverbial shilling and had a reputation for being "eccentric".

Anyone from the Chapel Allerton area remember the "dentist"?



He was an oldish guy with a big bushy multicoloured beard and who wore sunglasses and a big anorak all the time. I was told he was a dentist prior to some sort of breakdown, and he still sat in a dentist's chair in his house. He lived, I think, on Allerton Hill.



I haven't lived in Leeds for over 25 years now, but remember that he scared me when I was very young
