The characters of Cork

[Dogwide]

I'm not sure if this lad has been mentioned before. But at the fountain after a night out there used be a lad who would go around setting bins on fire. He had some kind of deformity with his arms and they were quite small and he would use to his advantage telling us that "The shades cant cuff me cuz I'd just shlip outta them"

Not sure if anyone had experience with him before? We just started referring to him as Cuff guy.

That's T Rex Connolly from Blarney Street.

Right messer.

There used to be a fella cycling around town years ago in a full home made Gardai outfit with a blue light on a stick stuck to the back of the bicycle and all.
Anyone remember him?
Haven't seen him around in a good few years.

He's on the spectrum,still otg
Living around Ringaskiddy or shanbally from memory,
His bike was stolen a while back,
Got it back after a radio appeal,
Harmless ol' devil,
Wears a full faced helmet etc

Think he lives near Monkstown. Harmless poor oul' divil. Saw him within the last month on Anglesea St. Doesn't bother anyone.

Yeah that's him ,he's regularly around Carigaline, Ringaskiddy,Shanbally.
Saw him on Douglas also,
So intrigued by him a few years ago I followed him into Lidl Carigaline
He walked in ,I parked and by the time I got into the shopping centre he'd disappeared

If I'm correct he only ever got stopped/told off once as he used to have a blue flashing light, but they told him he had to stop using that.

Not a bother since though.

 

[DeepThroat]

think he passed away

Had a look on RIP.ie he died March 2023.

I knew him in college, he was in a very bad car crash which left him with serious health issues.

He went back to college afterwards as he was unable to work.

He also had to change the lettering on his outfits from 'GARDA' to 'POLICE'

He is a Golf Special Olympic medal winner

Still had the light last year but it wasn't flashing

Ask my daughter. He spat at her. Prick.

Unaware he was like that!
Apologies.
If that's what he's like now his days in the city are numbered as he'll be lifted/told stay out of town.
