This was not on my long list of items to blog, so my Golowan moan has been yet again delayed for another day...

This is Sutton Jarvis, quite possibly the coolest guy around. He has his head screwed on right. I don’t often get to speak Jarvo, usually its just a list of random text’s during international football matches...along the lines of Me: Av som, Jarvo: Indeed, Me: oouuff, Jarvo: Showers.

Anyway here we are enjoying a trip across Le Lac in sunny Sanguinet France....so much to blog about this place

Once again, I return to our old friend Red Hat Man to provide some amusement. Piccy courtesy of Mr Jigsy and I must give a big shout out to him for his dedication to the cause, and in getting such a good pic with not only the legend that is RHM (Red hat man), but also in capturing another potential tramp in our midsts at the same time.

What a brilliant night, I learnt two things tonight.

1. Jeff Nudd is a very fast car wizard and
2. George Michael is a musical, production perfectionist???? What the f???

Connected the poser to the fuel pump, fuel lines to the fuel rail and a turn of the key later......amazing. Thanks a million to Jeff for the wizardry. Turn up the sound and enjoy the roar of the blue tiger car escort car tiger......



oh yeah and George Micheal wasn't happy with the first recording Careless Whisper and the sax was recorded slowed down a semi tone.....what a gay

Here he is, a mysterious tramp indeed, said only to wonder around aimlessly and occasionally sit by Tesco's roundabout Penzance. Photo courtesy of a new tramp spotter we have in our midst known only as 'Jigsy'. I think you'll agree, that with cracking shots like these, Jigsy's off to a flying start in his tramp photo taking career. He has been named frightenin white, due to his beard and also, a clever reference to that famous drink 'white lightning' who's attributes we have all enjoyed in our adolescent years.

I was ecstatic last night to learn that Char or as she is better known as, Todd sister has created her very own blog. I hope she follows in her brothers footsteps and maintains a high standard of very interesting and informative diary entries.

Thank-you Mark Davey for this excellent pic of quote “a random” Spotted on the A30.....erm.....walking. I’ll leave it to Mark to fill out the credentials, for now we'll name him A30. The Pack is taking shape but I could do with some help – please get snapping and sending.

Herbal cigarette smoke, tipsy on special brew and being the last to be kicked out of the arcade by ‘Frightening Pete’, that’s retro gaming. Super Sprint, three player solid for two hours fully boosted on all the stats (5 spanners) was the stuff of legends, Narc completed to perfection on one credit or doing the gold bar routine. No prejudice of what format these games were played on, just a bloody good laugh, that’s Old Boys Gaming. Rant over.

This guy can often be found walking the streets of Hayle, in the winter months Mr Hayle (Steptoe) can be seen with a massive amount of snot dangleling from his face.

Credentials to be filled in shortly

• Shambolicness
• Drunkeness
• Smell
• Capacity for Violence
• Capacity to scare small children
• Self Fighting tendencies
• Anecdote quota
• Attire
• Special weapon

Hello again, and sorry for the delay in posting this great email from Jason Hingley aka JAM JARS...

Please can everyone follow Mr Jars example and get working on "Top Tramps" © 2007


Todd you crazy sonbitch, this is a noble and just cause. On the other hand it is depraved and wrongheaded, but nonetheless I kind of like it!

May I be so bold as to propose a revision to your means of capturing tramps' images? Dont be coy, just be brazen! Take a photo, and if they ask what you're doing just deny it. Or say you work for the Cornishman. Or act like a tourist.

Art present I have no images of tramps (or access to them), but I will endeavor to search for old photos that may include some gems. In the meantime can I commend the following street folk/oddballs as worthy subjects for your project:

Barclay, Wooden Top, Shirley (RIP), Ashley Fry (RIP), Captain Keasty (plays an accordion and sells daffies whilst sitting on a crate outside of the Co-op), Lindsay Holloway.

PS I think you also need a Top Trump category system to classify their 'tramp credentials' May I suggest:

Shambolicness

Drunkeness

Smell

Capacity for Violence

Capacity to scare small children

Self Fighting tendencies

Anecdote quota (how many great stories can people tell about them)

Attire

Special weapon (eg for Barclay this would be his neck strung money pouch)


Good luck Todd, and until next time take care.

Not much posting recently, some great top tramps coming soon. Anyhoo this is amusing
