Brightons Best
After living in Brighton for years you meet some of the best people. I cant possibly explain all the strangeness here but just list my favorites.

Atters: a genuine bounder, dresses like its 1940 and he is in a terry tomas film down to the sock suspenders. Hes a paranormal investigator. head of the handlebar society. editor of the chap magazine etc, etc. he is genuinely one of the nicest people i have ever met. link

Draco: A friend of Dali that modeled for him in Christ of St. John of the Cross .Hes about 70, i first met at a club werating nothing but boots, a top hat & a chain linking his nose ring to his genital peircings. On speaking to him i found he has no memory, on mild investigation it turns out he was in a major car crash in the 80s and has lost all his memory. His house is now a load of photos & notes on clips & string all over the house. Its like walking through his memory.

And a little known fellow that i dont know the name of myself. He stands on western road and claps at busses with suck glee, its awesome. I have never seen a man as happy as him, when he was getting onto a bus. I love him.

I may remember more later.

Atters
When I lived in Brighton I had the pleasure to vote for him in the Election!
He stood for the Bob Party if memory serves.

Atters!
I see him often in Waitrose,the gentleman's relish and earl grey in basket. What about bin checking man, he walks along the sea front all day checking bins and patting bollards, whilst looking like he knows something brilliantly funny that we don't. And the christian who stands outside Office and the model shop telling everyone they are going to hell? ahhh Brighton, all are welcome.

Hat bloke
You must have seen the very thin bloke who walks down the North Laine very slowly and always dresses in a very eccentric way. He used to have his hair over one eye a la Gabriel so i thought he had something wrong with his eye but he's had his hair cut now and it's all normal(ish).

Draco
Reading back that one may be Draco. Also I am wrong in thinking the bloke who drums with the bid yellow wheelie bin the Churchill square was on that Million-Pound-Giveaway programme a few years ago?

I hate that talentless fucktard
Hes always outside the fucking Colonnade and cant keep pissing time. If your going to stand in a public place hitting a bin & a lonely cow bell while blowing loudly on a whistle the least you could do is be in time.

He calls himself...
Horseface Killah for some reason?

.
I used to live opposite "Green Olive". She spent all day picking up cans to sell for scrap, and give the money to dogs homes.
But she was always in trouble with the council for keeping all the cans in her front garden.
