Buskers, Street Entertainers

  • A very well liked Biker WIZZ has sadly left us. Ride Forever Bro FTW SFFS CFFC UBFFUB .TTFN T.
  • The guy who paints himself silver and plays the same elton john song all day!
  • Saw some legend miming along to a CD he was playing and expecting money. Sadly for him the CD kept stopping to reveal his trickery to unsuspecting passers-by.
  • look out for r.i.p skate team and the tramps what a beautful combination
  • The best window cleaners in weymouth ( i think they drive a red van with yellow poles on top), visit me every month. They give my wife a jolly good rodgering while i make the tea and buttys, as i can't be arsed anymore. Keep it up chaps!!!
  • Oz whyte the crazy son of a.. and Marc Norris hes this guy who looks like an afghan hound.
  • the best place to see good art is the sand sculptor on the esplanade by the pavilian theatre. always changing what is on display and this has been going for a very long time.
  • My Favourite guy has to be the old afro mcdonalds guy - demitre is it? Quality
  • Backwards forwards tramp, that guy that used to walk forwards and then suddenly start walking backward... Didnt they find him dead in a bush or something? Anyway me and a mate found his diary and ut had mad pictures of himself in saying he was James Bond. Another Sad Weymouth Casualty!

  • VINDALO VERA I was in VIA and she offered a bloke a blowjob for 50p he replied cowering in the corner "please just take a fiver and leave me alone" unfortuanatly this beloved homeless woman died R.I.P x x
  • Gary Jones
  • Smackhead recorder masterpieces abound.
  • You can be entertained on the street during the week by watchign the area outside the main post office for the drunks and druggies that gather there and pester people and on weekends by watchign the 2 largers and out BOYS having fuights over some old slapper when coming out of a crap club
  • THE OLD GUY WHO HAS THATCHER DANCING WITH ELVIS PRESELY MODELS WHILE PLAYING THIS DRUM THING....ITS ACTUALLY QUITE A SAD SIGHT...POOR BASTARD
  • The geezer that plays music with the teletubbies dancing in new bond street
  • What abouts backwards the tramp and the incredible spoonman, I once witnessed someone (wont say who James) urinate in his hat and the spoonman put it back on afterwards
  • There was a bloke that was playing the keyboard in tune but singing out of tune at the point where the wollies and cinema area meets the main town streets last time I was in town.
  • Lots of junkies playing plastic whistles etc
  • Well there is the gold painted guy in gold robes with a gold hat who pretends to be a statue and then magically comes to life in a very robot like way - tasteless and scary to the children! It scared the willies outta me! haha
  • You could mention a couple of the tramps and characters...I love the elderly couple with the black and white collie....she's usually being dragged by the dog whilst 'Ivor' puffs his ciggie and rants and raves trivial facts at anyone who ignores him ....It used to make my day when I saw him. A classic quote from Ivor......... "3 months ladies and gentlemen, 3 months, 3 months to the millenium (pause) and about time too" This I was lucky enough to over hear in a crowded charity shop, excellent. Also Grace, and Gavin are tramps names that the locals would recognise. I no longer live in Weymouth. My home town...returning always freaks me out a bit
  • Ample supply of tramps and low lifes
  • Sorry but we have to mention Mel. For those of you who were genuinly brought up in Weymouth you will know this girl as the one who usually hitches a piggy back and ends up with permanent scars! She is also unafraid of baring any part of her anatomy in public and disgraces her lovely husband Nick who has the patience of a saint! But Mel with love you unconditionally and will never change you. You are star!
  • The bloke who does the Sand Sculpting must be the most un-charismatic bloke who relies on donamtions from the public for his livelyhood. Made no attempt to 'talk to the crowd', didn't even make the obvious "Can you see what it is yet?" comment. He may be the dogs dangly bits as a scupltor, but poor on entertainment value.
  • PERU PANPIPES AND THE SPOON MAN AND THE TELYTUBBIES ONE MAN BAND
  • the pan pipe people great!!!!!!!
  • The spoons man plays a lovely variety of classics outside the mainstreet McDonalds. Outside the HSBC is the "Dancing Teletubbies man" again who provides quality entertainment for the whole family. If you are lucky you may get to hear the panpipes people and the Gospel preaching nutters!
  • Loads of really weird, screwed up people, all day, all night.
  • Mr Spoons, Demitrius (the 70's porn star), rolling round in the chips and cheese outside Scoffers, the Mexican band in the summer (yes the one from the fast show!)and the weasel man with Vicky the Chippy - watch them drunken dance, talk to them if you dare!.
  • Not really, except in the summer, more's the pity
  • Real variety here, usuallly on Saturdays in the main shopping street outside QS and Midland Bank.
