Buskers, Street Entertainers

• the guy under wallace tower
• Junkie Dog Man! Legend has it that the busker on Nile Court has a dog who is a junkie. It is frequently on edge and it's eyes point in different directions.
• The really unconvincing tranny guy who has facial hair and wore his mums clothes, although think he moved to Glasgow The "fuffty punce, fuffty punce" tramp down the shore who was rumoured to be a director with Ayrshire council supplementing his income.
• U-Boy - on his bike, with his horn - always a laugh
• Am I the only one who wishes someone would jam the flute up that guys ass in the main street. Technically I think he's playing different tunes but they all sound the same.
• Ian Leishman, always good at the stories.
• Kenny Jelly Baby is the guy who limps about with his thumb tucked into his hand on the left, and his right arm keeping him balanced. He has dark greasy hair which is normally short, a grey jacket on and will look as though he's squinting and biting his bottom lip all at the same time. He will DEFINETELY have a bag of jelly babies in his pocket - if not babies, some other soft fruity variety of sweet. He laughs funnily, and when me and Johnno were waiting for a bus one night, we saw the funniest thing ever. Kenny was asking someone in a car something - we're not sure what - when they freaked out at him and started windind the window up. He obviously wasn't expecting the person to do this and slowly lost his balance, sliding uncontrolably - but perfectly slowly - towards the ground, screaming like a banshee. It was funny.
