    ever see the movie Animal House? Most of that was filmed in my home town. The feild where the student para-military squad is training, where the commander gets hit in the head with a golf ball (pure comedy gold!) is right next to my house, we play frisbee and soccer there during the summer. That and we supplied most of the Anarchists that trashed Seattle during the WTO riots a few years back.

    go Eugene

    You've got Brum in your profile, but isn't that Wolverhampton? Banks's Brewery and the legendary ring road tramp who sweeps the leaves outside his tent. Driven past him many a time.

    yeah, Wolves. I sort of live in two places but don't want to admit to having a flat in Wolverhampton.

    Josef the homeless Polish guy, he's a true legend.

    :eek: What's wrong with Wolverhampton? It's the up and coming place you know! Property experts are flooding to invest there, and they're making that big shopping centre and, well, I suppose it says something about Wolverhampton that we can name which famous tramps live there as opposed to famous people... :blush:

    You mean that absolute legend who walked about the town centre and tried to stop you to talk about Bush and Blair and how it was wrong to go to war, despite the fact he looked like he was an absolute retard?

    There was also a guy who walked around with a massive stereo on his shoulder blasting out Beacon FM or some jammin' tunes...

    From Rowfer's by any chance? I couldn't decide whether I really liked that shop or I really hated it 'cos it was for all those little emo kids...
  • JsTJsT Posts: 18,268 Skive's The Limit
    Haha!!

    I've thought of another famous Huddersfield person - the singing Big Issue seller.

    I can't remember. It was nearly 2 years ago :p.

    But I bought a Death Kitty tie from there too.

    It was a very very small shop, if that helps...

    LOL, yeah!! Although, whenever he tried to speak to me, the topic of conversation was tennis and how women should all wear tennis skirts! He's a born again Christian now and hands leaflets out. He even has his own myspace.

    Is every town outside of Leeds an inbred shit hole? Maybe you're like one of those guys who's in the closet and calls everyone else gay. You call every town an inbred shit hole but maybe, just maybe, it's Leeds that's the inbred shit hole. Ha! Ha! Gotcha! :lol:

    The London flat filmed in Trainspotting was filmed in a flat on the road where I live.

    I love Barnsley. My Uncle was meant to be one of the schoolkids in the Kes video but he was off school sick when they filmed it. Fact.

    And Parkinson used to live around the corner from where my Dad lived. :thumb:
