Buskers, Street Entertainers
  • the old guy who skates. seriously hes about 80
  • There is an old guy that skates around the centre of Ormskirk. He's a nutter, but not bad for about 80
  • The No Smoking Guy is good for a laugh.
  • The gentleman who roller blades round ormskirk at all hours carryin a plastic bag, pretty quality entertainment!!
  • Tony windmill is hilarious, he left kirkby years ago but still into his gangsta luvvin, boys in the hood shit. students randomly tag o to him because his parent have a pub. Ian gordon is a pirck who threw a barny when he found out that other places in ormskikr don't have to have bouncers on the doorn and his daddy couldn't help him with this one. There are never any iffy random snorting noises from the toilets in there, and no white dust under any of the patrons stuck up little noses.
  • My good old friend Jeff,aka the 67 year old man who skates round Ormskirk most nights!
  • Smelly Brian from the Windmill / Horse Shoe is - well, smelly! Rockin Roy the old drunk who mumbles nonesense. Tony 2 tellies - windmill. Taybarn - the ginger ninja lol, Glass eater Andy. Peter James Lyons
  • rollerblading man! utter legend!
  • The rollerskating guy! - nearly every night can be found skating around ormskirk. nobody knows why... he just does. The CHinese guy who's always in arriba on his own! Thik he owns the peacock or something. Tommy Loxville, goes around filming stuff in the 6th form and ormskirk. Got a website, tommyloxville.com
  • Since ellie was detained at her majesties pleasure we are lacking characters but you will see plenty of them being hurled into police vans on a sat night outside the ariba
  • Ranting christians near the clock tower, one told a guy i know he was going to die, giimp. Although rational phylosophical debate is preferable, a good solid FUCK OFF, warrants a comical lecture on why religion is great and why you are anti-christian scum.
  • Nothing else to say except.....avoid locals at all cost! Theyll either be a complete n utter weirdo or a scall, or theres a evyr slim chance they'll be SANE. Avoid the trumpet man because altho hes v kewlcos he dusnt actlly play...he oerves on people at the bus station and offers them his autograph. Also at the bus station avoid a she-man who smells n has a shopping trolley and/or cheese and onion pasties. Stay away from the bus station...if trumpet man or hobo arent there youll get your head bashed in by a scall. However, if you're fond of tuckin your socks into your pants and wearing knock-off burberry...itll feel jsut like home :)
  • ellie, although i think hes in prison at the moment
  • Hey me an me m8 holly lol were the crazy gals who tied ourselves 2gevva wooo ps the kool black trumpet guy rules aswell! anyonw who can mime a trumpet is kewl by me
  • Tommy Loxville from http://www.tommyloxville.com. Always seen around Ormy doing some stupid crazy stunt or making a movie. In his defence his vids are pretty cool! Chekc out his website!
  • I'm sure I saw a town crier at the cross once (may have imagined it)
  • Five lights for a pound! Five pound lights!
  • The Chad feller in Bargain Booze is a freak; he thinks he's like the coolest guy in the world but he's just a gimp. He wears a double breasted suit and has got a big ginger beard and he kops off with 15 year old girls for god's sake!
  • Andy Robson. Knows a helluva lot about his beloved Ormskirk, will take any oppurtunity to demonstrate this. Often refers to his hometown as 'Land of the Gods'. Slightly deluded boy.
  • Flute player in the town centre on market days is good.
  • Manager of the Arriba - strange character. Lives in a fantacy world, thinks he's a big gangster - really wears nappies and sits in the back of his 'club' watching the Cbees & Postman Pat.
  • Ian Gordon - like to wear nappies in his spare time, but will stamp his feet if you don't give him Pampers. A good way to get in his good books and always guaranties you entry to The Arriba is to take a nappy along and present him with it at the door.
  • the trumpet man! he stands outside superdrug wit a radio an then plays without much attempt to keepin time wit the music, excellent!
  • a guy outside boots every day selling big issue
  • There's this black fella who plays the Trumpet to a tape he's a genius.
