• a few points about the infamous malcolm bishop aka malcolm meatball head or monkey malcolm. i have found this didgy scruffy little garbage pail kid to be a pest. the bloke plays his tv and radio, not to mention his vast collection of 50's music all day and night. many a night i have had to bang his door and knock him up to tell him to turn it down. the bloke sells newspapers but the irony is he has the intelligence of a decomposed mouse. He smells, he has had a pair of purple y fronts hanging on his washing line ever since he moved into his new flat. in his old flat oppisate halfords, he locked himself in the bog and shouted out window to halfords blokes to call fire brigade to get him out with a ladder. his taste in music is appauling. he has every record garn, 40s 50s 60setc bloody birdy song to cliff richard. as for want a paper lad, its the only thing he can say, its the only thing he knows his second home is the little white paper box in town. he is always scraping with the people who own the indian on corner of peter street and got himself arrested couple weeks ago by 6 coppers. he should follow his dads footsteps and get a sword and some porn cards and stop this "wana a paper" menace.
• Starky and his wife Daniel Donovan- lovley homeless couple Licence - they call him this ecause he hasn't got a TV licence. he also pretends to be blind and wacks kids BigRig- only catamarangatang knows who he is Macy D- AKA Ronald Mcdonald DJ Tattie ASH - The one and only DJ/GANGSTA/WINDOW cleaner Sid Rice - is a true uppie and doesnt know robbie fowler has left liverpool fc John the fish munger - catches 12st salmon illegaly and then the bailifs arrest him forster - The battiest lad in workington lad/females beware no-one is safe, loyal member of steamies the gay bar
• Basher Mc Gurk as he sells the best wizz in Town.... Muskrat as he says - don't trust me cos I'll nik it off yer... Anne Fulton cos she sold smack to a copper and went off for a 5-year holiday... Raymond Starkie cos he is a glue sniffer with no fixed abode and he sings qite well... Kieth Ackerly cos he tried to commit suicide and blow his house up instead.

• Starky hangin around Town Hall asking for a chip or a light. Used to work at Petrol INC. Mal Bish at Christmas, dressed in a Santa suit, bothering taxi drivers saying 'wanna paper lad'
• I think Raymond Starky is a bum with alot of class. U go and talk to him and he spits out all these awesome one liners, He is a very inteligent guy down on his look. I know he frightens most people but the fact is he has done more stuff today than most people will in their lifetime. I think he should be in a band cause he is a wicked singer and it's funny how he can sing every song in the top ten! Respect is due.
• Craven, starkey
• Another mention for Bill Potter, legendary teacher at Workington Sixth Form. Since the last entry, here are some new stories he's told us and some that wern't mentioned - His autobiography 'Billy the Kid'. He is the long serving Silloth Quiz Champion. He had a trial not only for Leeds RLFC, but also for Leeds United FC, however injury ended his dreams after 20 minutes (Whatever Bill, even tho we've all seen him play and he's shite, I bet he was in his Dusseldorf top).
• Barney - the pool shark who used to bother everyone round town. Malc Bishop, rumour has it that Fowler stuck a bottle up his poop shoot in Biddys, never quite recovered from that and can be seen selling stars and bothering taxi drivers. Ray Starkey - jesus dont give him a light. Robert (licence) does he really have a dog or a CB Radio? Sandal Man - he walks round town all day long
• just starky
• Starky- now thats entertainment!
• so do any of you cockheads actually know raymond starkey?do you really know anything about his private life or his family or his past?do you know any thing about life at all you shallow minded fuck heads?i sincerely hope you all fall victim to drug,alcohol,or solvent abuse in the near future and see how your family reacts when strangers who dont even know you are slagging you off.
• Bill Potter must be the best entertainer. ALthough not from W'ton he spends his life shopping and teaching in the town. He spreads class BULLSHIT stories around th sixth form. Some beauties been he taught Gary Lineker, his blind mate wipes his arse on £20 notes, he buried his motorbike in his back garden and he once played Rugby for Leeds. BULL SHITE!!!!! Bill will always be a good laugh and business lessons with him will never be boring while he spreads more shit for us to laugh at.

• Starkey is good 4 a laugh but be warned dont get to close with naked flames!
• RAMOND STARKEY IS MAD HA WILL ASK YA FOR A LIGHT BUT DOND GIVE HIM ONE OR HE WILL BLOW UP!
• If you see a scruffy git with greesy blonde hair and face like a bull dog licking piss of a thistle and he asks you for 20p, fag or lighter then you have met our famous town idiot, yes you have got RAYMOND STARKY he is pretty easy to spot he is either as pissed as a fart or high on either petrol or glue, if he as you for a light give hime one and run like hell. also steeve macmahrn from seaton who has a son with a head bigger than his body, steeve is a bit of a loner none of his neighbours in seaton like him, cos no one like him he tries to run you over, phone the police if you play football in 100 yard radious of his house, he also stares at you from his house with binoculars, sad or what!!! if you see him give him the 2 finger salute well all us whitestile lads do!!! FINALLY there is a scruffy escaped little mad man from dovenby hospital(mental asylumn) who thinks everyone is his friend when in fact everyone takes the piss out of him, he is a 40 year old paperboy (a bit like the waterboy but very very smelly and scruffy) you can find him wandering around town selling his holy papers and you can find him around town waisting his money on gamblers

• Starkey is a legendary Workington icon
• If you're down town on Saturday through the day why not go hunting for some of Workington's Wierdo's : 1) Mal Bish (Meatball) - wanders about looking for anyone who will buy one of his "holy" papers from him. Did you know as well as walking around every single building to sell his papers, he also annoys taxi drivers - "Paper, lad?" 2) Starkey - Probably the most famous of Workington's wierdos. A professional drunk, layabout, and glue sniffer. Always asking for change and money - (Just kick him in the face) but just don't throw a naked flame at him. 3) Crazy Kieth (Clifton caveman) Hampered by the death of his sister, he is now on the rampage and is still trying to get himself into the Guiness Book Of Records, in the "Hairiest Noses" section. You'll know him when you see him, also watch out for his mouse like voice. 4) Joseph (Mr Bean) - Absolute spitting image of Mr Bean, basically he is just a peadophile, and he always follows young girls, sometimes even old grannies if he thinks theres any chance of a bit of muff. 5) Mark (known as Spa**er Mark) - Wears a lovely pair of Jesus sandles and owns a flash walkman. He's always in town and maybe he's a robot or something needing to keep moving to charge his batteries, because he always walks around in circles, We all once followed him round town but we stopped and got bored after three laps. 6) Robert (License) Walks about with a stick and tells all the little kids to: "F**K OFF, PACK OF B**TARDS!!!" That's just because they all shout wheres ya license at him - apparantly he got caught with a CB without a license , but i don't think anyone knows the true story. 7) Six Gun Dave (Austin) - You might not know this guy, but he always wears a leather jacket thats covered in pin badges, he has the biggest set of jam jar glasses in the world, and a rare hairstyle, oh, and he walks like he's carrying a couple of carpets. Works in the marvellous Pedro's , well all he does is stand in the back , I'm sure his job in there is to read the paper for them.
• everyone in workington has a weird appeal, its like walking round a very large mental institute, oh, and it smells too !
• The now lesser spotted Raymond Starky, Mally Bish and his papers, Ockie and the TFS ladies in the 4x4
• Your right about Starky and the little round faced news and star guy. There is a guy called Joseph, a lonly sole who looks and acts like Mr Bean.
