Similarly to Jim Gibb's blokey, there's also a woman who can regularly be seen swaggering from one end of the high street to the other with long bedraggled hair, massive sunglasses, not saying a word to anybody, just carrying a (loud) beat box on her shoulder.

There's also a man who, if you make eye contact, will talk to you for hours on end about how he hooks his PC up to his home stereo so he can watch DVDs. He can be found in the most random of places, at the most inconvenient times.

In Farnham, there's a man called Eric. He walks around all day, mumbling to himself. He's built up such a cult fanbase, and everyone is so endeared by the man, that he now can't get from one end of the high street to the other without somebody saying, 'Hello Eric!', and this makes him angry. Rumour has it, he was once up for a nobel price in mathematics. How true this is, I do not know.

i used to hang out with Giorgiana from Mitten a lot and there were all these mad, mad characters that would walk up and down her street (not in Hackney) and she used to talk to them and was really kind to them and stuff. i think she may've even recorded them for her songs. you could tell she really cared about them.

the ones i seem to come across though are more of the 'angry, toothless crackhead. variety...

It’s a bit conformist to define “normal” behaviour. As punk rockers we should be embracing the transgressive. Or are we ‘rebels without claws’? Anyway, what’s ‘normal’ behaviour in London?

I used to see a guy on the tube who either had Tourettes or was just aggressive, who used to mutter all sorts of profanities that only people around him could hear and then shout “bunch of cunts!” to the whole carriage. Always wore baseball cap and dark glasses. Then there’s the bloke who I see if I’m so late that I have to catch the 8.59 from Bromley South. You don’t notice him until you’re suddenly aware of a bloke motoring between about 4 carriages, bumping people and seemingly looking for a seat (there are usually lots of empty ones) but always harrumping and then moving at speed in the opposite direction. And then back again. He’s like an uneasy ghost but his behaviour is so extreme that people laugh at him rather than punch him.

I also used to have a temp in my team at work who told us that he was only temping until he joined the Paras. He used to go running at lunchtimes and weekends with a rucksack full of bricks, though he never seemed to get any bigger. His credibility dropped through the floor when another member of my team found out that all his clothes (moleskin trousers, etc) were bought for him by his mother at Harrods. He never made the Paras or even the TA (I still see him occasionally, off to his dogsbody’s job at a stockbrokers).
