I wonder if we ever sent them a statue in return. If not then Fat les can be it!

On another note wouldn’t it be better to hold the German Market in a German square?

Would it even fit?

I want a German sausage now

I would actually attend for once!

He's more notorious in Bradford. Lives up in Baildon I believe, apparently he's got a real nasty streak in him!

He's become known recently as 'Jesus Man' by the younger crowd but he's always been known as 'The Mad Monk' to me. I quite often see him walking up and down the Saturday afternoon train between Leeds and Bradford Forster Square, which strikes me as cheating a little

There is a [iBoulevard de Leeds[/i in Lille (down the back of the Eurostar Station) that has a British red phone box on the corner (or at least it did have).

Lille is also twinned (tripletted?) with Leeds but I don't know if Leeds has a [iBoulevard de Lille[/i


Edit ... the phone box appears to have been removed. (just looked at Google Streetview)

Does anyone know anything about (and I have christened him this) The Bird Man of Leeds? I see him near our office on Whitehall Quay all the time but I have seen him in and around all of Leeds city centre. He is maybe 50ish, leather jacket, bandanna and always pulling a bag behind him. He basically wanders around everywhere feeding the birds. But he doesnt just sit there and throw bread and await them, he places the bread in what would appear pre-determined spots for them to forage. he doesnt hang around and wait for them either he just buggers off to his next location

anyone ever come across the 'im the king of sahara desert' bloke?, he usually gets on anyone of the busses around the corner in harehills from the medical museum.

he gets on the bus with his army camo trousers and sometimes jacket and token can of stella in his hand, then starts with the bus driver, and to the nearest woman or man who makes eye contact he starts his performace with them, mainly he goes upstairs on busses and sits next to the nearest woman and trys to chat them up with the line above, then says 'you can be one of my queens'

obviously quite a few of you wont need to get busses anymore due to owning cars but in his drunken state he also does it when he gets off the bus and around the bus stop to anyone who gives him any attention, not seen him in a long time but wondered wether any of you have come across him before?

Sorry to "necropost" but it's going round facebook that fat les has died, liver failure apprently, not sure how true this is, but already a "RIP fat les" group
