Weirdness Spotted @...

Right. London is a big place and lots of stuff happens. A lot of it is completely strange and as cyclists we tend to see more of it than most.

Today on the ride to work I was passing the Palace and crossing the road were three guys carrying what looked like small children. Upon further inspection quite ugly children. No. They were carrying fully animatronic Gremlin puppets like small children.

These things were around 2 feet tall with the ears and big eyes. A camera crew was trailing behind them and they started filming outside the gates.

So. What is your weirdness spotted @ moment?

sure it wasn't murtle??

i've seen a tramp on roller skates, the old skool type that you tie over your shoes. skating along near earls court!

they tie old school tramps over your shoulder in orstralia?

Ugh so unhygenic

Not quite as weird as the above, but anyway...

You might have spotted the blind man who plays the accordion on High St Kensington and King's Road in Hammersmith? The guy with the money box chained to himself so no one can steal it without him seeing.

Well, walking past, I looked at his bag, and he had a copy of the metro and london lite in it. Why would a blind man read a newspaper, and how would he even see where they're given out?

Pulling people's legs, I reckon.

if he's begging for money there's a good chance he's a tramp sleeping rough...a newspaper is good bedding when you have nothing else.

I was appraoched by two imperial storm troopers on Brighton seafront last weekend. Weird but cool. I wanted to join in.

Good insulation under your shirt or down your trouser legs too.

Yep I sometimes grab one if I am out about and cold. Stick it down my top. Tramp style!

Walking between Richmond and Putney this w/e by the river saw the guy with the weird two bikes strapped to the side of a cart contraption camped up and doing some repairs to someones bike. I wonder how he rides that thing? Ride one and reach across to steer the other bike? I'd like to see it in action. He must carry so much stuff.

that dude's a legend

Last Wednesday I saw a monkey in a winged chariot being pulled across the sky by a dozen pigeons. OK I made some of that up, it wasn't a monkey it was little Jimmy Cranky.

I saw a buddhist monk piss himself while standing next to me on a platform at earls court tube, turning his orange robe a kind of fuscia colour.

Perhaps he uses them to wipe his arse. The Metro and london lite must be good for something

Maybe he spotted a Burmese police officer.

seen a tramp doing full-on hard-core yoga in regents park in the full summer heat with about 8 layers of clothing on, he made sure his face was covered for some reason, very odd, i like feeling as though in in a david lynch film

not whilst cycling, but I see weirdness all the time.

I saw my strange Polish neighbours measuring their biceps with a tape measure and writing it down on paper.

you can see them from the kitchen window, they have no curtains.

neither did the twat who lived there before, I saw him dancing in the kitchen, on his own, full on like he was on a podium in a nightclub.
and at other times doing lines of gack, and bad efforts at karate.

i saw a middle aged lady running through hampstead heath with an umbrella, but full running kit! WTF?!

Was putting up some conduit one night in York Way when a local crack whore stopped and gave me a full on old time music hall dance routine, it was quite embarassing, she just wouldn't go away, then she kept bowing and asking for a kiss, eukkkkk.
