The fella at Queen Street was a full on nut job dictator announcer, so forceful in his station names, I've seen women and children cowering in fear of his tannoy mutterings.

My driver pal says he was unhinged, and a frustrated 5ft japanese General.

Aw c’mon, I love a pint of Strongbow (unfortunately it doesn’t like me). You are correct, in a way, on the toilet front though, it does take a hammering after the ‘Bow:yikes:

When Brains had their brewery in St Mary Street there was an overwhelming hoppy smell that pervaded that area when a new batch of Cardiff laughing water was on the stove

When i was a kid there was often a bloke (always a bloke) who used to stand next to the driver of the bus and talk utter shit to him, not always the same bloke. They were kind of Bus nutters. I wish that they were still about.

When did that stop? Sometime in the 1980s? We all did it as kids.

Dunno really, Nutters were more widely accepted years ago, people just seemed to let them crack on, no bother. We all had mates growing up who were ****ing weird, strange, did some odd shit, yet we just seemed to accept it and didn't make that much of a big deal about it, And most of them turned out alright. In todays society they'd have a diagnosis etc. Nope, some people are just a bit 'Radio Rental' leave them alone and they'll be alright. A bit like Bus Nutter :hehe:

It’s a bit strange replying to my post… but I can confirm that the Sparrows are safe and well, and are currently twittering away in the bushes, on holiday in the Cape Verde islands.
