• There's a black white and grey dog that walks itself all over Sheffield. It's been spotted at Hillsborough to Nether Edge.
• Sambo Mambo - pitty him.
• Watch out for the guy around the sheffield college/hunters bar area. His story is that he is on probation and needs 7 quid to get back home on the train, or he will get thrown back into prison. He's about 6 foot 2, blonde ish hair and about 39 to 42, with an old black sports bag on his back, he will show you a piece of paper detailing his probation details ect...this guy is so convincing! untill you say no to him then he gets very scary! watch out! he ran his story to me 4 times in one weekend....he needs a better memory! he totally forgot he had asked me 3 times before, once I explained this to him he got stressed and this turned into a fight. He normaly tries it with students, and women, he is very believable and convincing.....but walk away! last time he needed to get to liverpool but after speaking to lots of people he changes the location a lot but the story stays the same. Cheers.
• The man with the Jesus Saves sign, who can be seen on Fargate and near the Crucible.
• some music entertainers in town.

• some great beggars on division street...really convincing laid on there mothers old duvet with matching scraggy dog
• The guy that sings Welsh ballads outside Starbucks in the city centre.
• Subway under Arundel Gate to Bus station a nightmare
• Is John Swain still outside Coles? The Barkers Pool D.J. resident at Sound Easy
• odeon tunnle
• prostitutes
• Bongo players on Sundays in Endcliffe Park. Annoying. I live in flats next to the tree where they play. Anyone who stops them will be rewarded with a pint
• the subways are usually full of beggers and don't really pay anyway. Try the moor or fargate if youve no competition but the best spot has to be outsids cole brothers (barkers pool) (quite often taken) less hits but more quids! good luck.
• give it up for the big issue sellers: they're always polite and friendly, especially the dreadlocked carzy dude who stands across from the train station, he's worth a quid for the entertainment value alone!
• there's a rather enchanting man who plays some form of piccolo, it always entices me into parting with the odd fifty p!
• No thanks!
• Dont know if this should go here, but I saw a brilliant local band/dj/electronic artist the other day. It was this lad who goes under the title 'Orators' and I hear sometimes performs under the name 'Yuffie.Kisaragi' - some cool drum and bass big beat fusion and some truly haunting samples.....check him out!
• Anything in Sheffield city centre, on Chapel walk or in the Underpass going under Arundel Gate, the bloke from Various Vegetables plays there... Certainly not Meadowhall though, that place has no life to it.
• Tons of them. Why can't the council put a stop to it eh?
