I had 5 minutes with Ray, and also had a chat with a couple of traders I know in the outdoor market. There's a nice guy who sells army surplus gear. He's 6ft 4" and I'm 6ft 3", and he was just telling me about a policeman he knows who is 6ft 6", when some young lunatic appeared, and interrupting his tale, said, "You don't need to be more than 6ft when you're a trained semi-professional cage fighter." The guy laughed, and said, "You're nothing like 6ft!" He then started asking about body armour, which he supposedly needed for a movie he was starring in, and then turned his attention to some very inexpensive combat pants, asking, "Would these be any good for kicking someone in the head? Because I need to be able to kick 7 1/2 feet in the air!" I wandered off, but when I passed through again later, I spoke to the army surplus guy again, and we were laughing about it. I guessed that he didn't even buy the trousers, and the bloke told me that he'd said they were a bit expensive, and that he'd have to wait until he received his unemployment cheque! I guess cage-fighting and movie stardom doesn't pay as much as people think!Leeds Market, I'll miss it when it's gone!

No, I haven't seen this one before, you get different crazies on Saturdays! Leeds Market has no shortage of 'eccentrics'!Was it the same guy who shows up on Thursdays dressed as Spider-Man or Deadpool?![]()
You certainly had a very busy day Jack. Some very interesting folk for sure.His full name is Padraic Pearse Kelly!Kathleen Mary Kelly is VERY Irish too!
Lovely name
I know a Londoner called Frank, and when I hadn't known him long, he said something that made me ask if his family was Irish. In a broad London accent, he said, "Well, me name's Francis Joseph Patrick Quinn."
Thanks Bill

After leaving Charlie's, I went into town. I very rarely go into Leeds city centre at weekends, and I'd forgotten how busy it gets. There was a 'Goth Fair' in Leeds market, with some very bizarre-looking stalls, and bizarre-looking old Goths!Ray, Tool Man's Teddy Boy mate, who has the stall next door, was DJing at the event, which must have been Teddy Boy Hell!

I decided to get something to eat, but the food hall was absolutely packed, so I returned to the Tunisian stall I went to on Thursday, which is a little tucked away. Got a great sandwich, though it was a little messy to eat!

My mate rang me to say he was his way into town, with his youngest lad, and so we arranged to meet up for a coffee. I spent half an hour with them, before walking back through the crowds of shoppers. City councils everywhere in England are always changing and resurfacing pavements, and it's something of a national sport. Quite a dangerous sport in Leeds today though, as for some reason, the council had put down some sort of aggregate, which became as slippery as custard when it got wet. I'm assuming the job is only half done, but if so, it should have been cordoned off. Since it wasn't, the material had been walked onto all the surrounding streets, and people were going down like nine-pins with several quite seriously injured

Thank you BillYou certainly had a very busy day Jack. Some very interesting folk for sure.
Really nice photo of your HHB, Jack.
Definitely an Irish dish Bill!Good morning Guardians. Sunny morning but just a tad brisk. Last evening we had friends over for supper and I made some "Irish" bread pudding for desert. I think that it was called Irish bread pudding because the recipe calls of some Irish whisky to be added. The sauce we put on it was also made in the kitchen and had Irish whisky in it.
