This the same guy who occasionally swims Loch Ness for charity and is generally well known character around the town. Have any P&Bers ever faked their own death? Have any P&Bers ever bought any bracelets from this gentleman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the Stories from the Courts thread there's a bit more to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Saw that. This though regards a well known Invernesian character apparently faking his own death and doing a runner. Does he deserve to be lumped in Russell Abercrombie and other charlatans?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This guy always used to hang outside the east gate centre and had lots of goth/moshers around about him. When I say always hang around the Eastgate I literally mean he was there for 12 hours a day every day for 20+ years. I have some strong suspicions that he sold drugs as well as bracelets/paintings but one time when I asked him for swedgers in 2007 he said he didn’t have any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Has anyone ever seen Kim the Busker busking? I never have. I think he gave it up years ago in favour of flogging trinkets. He was, without doubt, the worst busker I’ve ever seen. Appallingly bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Agree with Chris. I hope he is actually dead and this isn’t a fake on account of how bad a busker he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 The rapper Tim Dog, most famous for East/West diss track f**k Compton and the excellent Step To Me, reportedly died on Valentine’s Day 2013. Then a string of angry women claimed he wasn’t dead and was simply at it to avoid paying them back money he owed. Then a year or so later it was confirmed he had actually died and was given a pauper’s funeral. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Used to lurk outside M&S? Yeah he would have a stall or two, i’m certain he sold paintings as well as bracelets. He would always have a cape on and always had young goths/moshers hanging about him. He was constantly there for 20+ years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can recall seeing him whilst visiting family up that way in the early 2000s and despite being a young mosher at the time, felt it was probably best to keep a distance from him. Anytime I'd been up since he was still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
