Re: The Deck
 

got me thinking now
i know i shouldnt
who was the guy around town always wore
a poncho and had a gunbelt type full of
different colored pens
and the chappie who stopped buses whilst
he put his hand under the wheels
or am i just rambling

Re: The Deck
 

the guy who stopped the buses was "Joseph" a polish guy who lived down clayton, a few stories relate to his manner,was something during the war i believe, the guy with the pens etc, i remember - but forget his name.;)

Re: The Deck
 

Polish Joseph seemed to have a death wish; he would suddenly jump into the road in front of cars and buses, then jump back onto the pavement, giving a little bow of thanks as he did. I'm sure the bandoliero wearer called himself Captain something-or-other. Can't remember what, though.

Re: The Deck
 

once employed issac to paint a
house front for me
only to return to find his pregnant lady
doing the job with jeff at the bottom of the ladder
can in hand
thats ma boy

Re: The Deck
 

a thing i remember about "Polish Joseph" he always carried a brown leather shopping bag, n after he had stopped a bus in the middle of blackburn rd,he would return to the pavement, wave n smile at the driver,then walk a few paces and pull a wine bottle out of his bag n have a kinda celebratory slug, no idea if it was wine? often wondered. never ever saw the guy in a pub though,wonder did anyone?

Re: The Deck
 

urban legend once told that joseph
had been a pilot in ww2 ??
never saw him in a pub
but so plenty of him in my bus driving days

Re: The Deck
 

another was he was a doctor who was brainwashed, theres a few differant myths- who knows.

Re: The Deck
 

The guy with the coloured pens died several years ago, I believe he choked on his vomit, don't know his name or anything, just know this because he used to live across from a mate of mine.(That's if it was the person you are on about)

Re: The Deck
 

is there anyone remembers a guy named duffy who used to hang out in the blue dahlia maybe in the late sixties. In the same crowd there was a guy called Steve. Used to meet in the Dahlia every weekday untill Chris banned them for sitting too long over a couple of drinks?

Re: The Deck
 

yep know a few duffys shazfury, Alan,Charlie,George, all went in the dahlia at differant times they were brothers, also 2 more brothers Pat,Liam, pat occasionally went in with me.;)

Re: The Deck
 

I'm thinking Alan Duffy would be about 61 or 62 now, a couple of years older than me , seem to remember he spent more time in the Derby than the Blue Dahlia ;)

Re: The Deck
