• That bloke with the sax The panpipers from peru
• The notorious heroin-ravaged scumbag that is "Mr 85p" - meet him shambling down the street, the most muscular junkie in the world. Then, worry, as he begs you for "85p, so I can get the bus out of here because kids are spitting at me." Tell him, politely, to go fuck himself.
• I once saw 2 dogs in the orange tree beer garden with a man in a suit who bought her drinnks all afternoon then gave her some cash before leaving! I'm not one to spread rumours but I cant think she was getting cash for flute lessons, unless by flute lesson you mean.....
• Local Characters....Vinney! He walks like he's in the army and makes farting noises!!!!!!!!!!!!
• There's three that spring to mind - the older woman with ill-fitting clothes and bright ginger hair, the scary woman with shaved head and bovver boots who says the F-word a lot and rides around on Kinch buses, and the hippy-ish chick who plays a penny whistle on the main strip near Wilkinson. The corner of Market Place outside the sports shop (opposite the town hall) seems to attract a lot of buskers of varying quality...
• EVERYTHING SAID ABOUT MARIO(HAIRDRESSER) IS TRUE!! HE ONCE WAS TRIMMING MY BIG HAIR WITH A CUT THROAT RAZOR WHILE LOOKING OUT OF HIS WINDOW AT WOMEN!!!!! I WAS SHITTING MYSELF!!!

• Outside Peacocks in the small hours on a friday night that 'homeless' woman with a mullet and a couple of scary looking dogs, will belt out a ahem.. 'individual' version of 'Wonderwall' on a battered guitar. Strangle a cat with a sore throat and you'll get an idea....

• The Bearded Saxophone player give this guy cash he is rad!!!!!!!
• Loughborough has some real characters. There is one guy who will let you play his electric for ages if you give him a fiver. This was discoverd by a mate of mine known as BigD during a night of drunken debauchery.
• Avoid the Halifax at all cost, they are bunch on useless fuckwit non-entities (some would say)
• Lots of beggars. Avoid big issue sellers other than the skatty looking woman with ginger hair. All the others are skag head travellers whose mummy and daddy pay for their upkeep on the sly..go on ask them.
• The smelly, bearded, waster....who plays the most fantastic moody jax saxophone ever. Give this man more money. On the other hand, don't give any to the girl who it has taken several years to master a basic tune on her tin whistle (this is true!).
• Mat Bowen, excellent rendition of the snooker theme tune.
• Lots of bums who cause lots of trouble.
• There's a tramp who swears viciously at anyone who catches his eye.
