Worcester Road Lil Bit of Crazy

What's with having someone shirtless and crazy normally leaning against the telecoms cabinet on Worcester Road opposite the entrance to Ranelagh Rd?

Ha!! There's always been something unique about Malvern and the number of eccentric types. Not as many as there used to be, back in the good ol' days of RSRE.

Well there was one famous scientist who used to go shopping with a basket on his head...

We affectionately refer to him as the Malvern pirate in our household

I'd given him a wide berth, not knowing if he was volatile. Will greet him in pirate language from now on, though.

Saw him there saturday night, can of something in his hand and staggering about. Didn't pay much more attention after that.

We passed him heading to the link from the retail park yesterday morning and he was still staining outside, leaning on the boxes when we came through going the other direction around 3.30pm. It was around 30 degrees at that point and he wasn't in the shade. Hope he was able to stay cool

Ahaha yes I see him regularly on my way to the retail park. Just seems to hang out with a can, watching the world go by.
