Life: Nobby the Tramp
Near to where I live there is a bus shelter that has had a tramp living in it for over 10 years! I have mentioned him before in my Blog as we pass him sometimes when we go for lunch.
Anyway yesterday I had to laugh as he has decided to place some potted plants on the pavement outside the shelter! For some reason this just makes me laugh so much! I am going to take a picture today at lunch so you can see what I mean :)

Personally,
I find 'nothing' funny about a person being homeless, ( or a 'tramp' as you 'so delicately' put it..... :-(
It would be a cruel irony if you found yourself in that position in life, ( so folks could laugh at 'you' ), huh?
Go on, laugh it up....

Oh I forgot that in our pathetic polictically correct society we are not allowed to laugh about anything anymore! Shame on me for seeing irony and bloggin about it huh :)
Here is the English dictionary definition of
TRAMP
"One who travels aimlessly about on foot, doing odd jobs or begging for a living; a vagrant"
So yes he is a Tramp. He chooses to live there and chooses to be a tramp. He has become quite a celebrity because of it. I have spoken to him and he used to be a school teacher and is quite happy being out of the shit race err I mean rat race. All this fear of upsetting people drives me insane! Lets wrap everyone up in cotton wool just so they dont ever
A. Get upset
B. Have tuff times
C. Find a terrorist under their bed
D. Get a terminal illness
E. Perhaps a car crash
F. A cut finger
G. God forbid actually DIE
I feel immensly sorry for you that you are so sensitive. Pray tell are you a puriton? Cromwell isnt in your lineage is he? I bet your in the anti smacking brigade too huh ROFL.

there is nothing wrong about laughing, Nobby the tramp is in a very fortunate position, hes fed well clothed given presents at christmas, and his own bus shelter. He was given trainers when he decided to take up running and golf clubs when he took up golf. Theres nothing unfortunate about him

Nobby is a lovely fella and yeah he is a tramp (no disrespect intended) however after some dicks vandalised his bus shelter he is now living in a council house and now in an even more fortunate position. I no longer live in Peterborough but remember Nobby well, looked after him in hospital a few times and he's a lovely man. When he lived in the shelter he was looked after by the community very well!
