Newcastles colourful characters, part one; The sports enthusiast.

If you spend any time at the end of the city centre where Tillys bar, The Bodega, The Journal Theatre and Chinatown is, you may well have seen the chap who used to amaze and amuse me on a daily basis.

When I lived in the flat above Tillys, I saw a dude, every day, dressed in jogging bottoms, shorts over the top like some kind of mental superhero, a sweater with a Tee oer the top and a vest over the top of that. Every item of clothing had a different sub-par sports-wear label, the likes of FILA, Le Coq Sportif, View From, etc... He also wore a backwards visor. Ultra cool. I'm definitely going to upload a drawing of the sports enthusiast soon.

This dude just walked around that aea of town, seemingly aimlessly, nothing on his mind, just spicing up passer-by's lives, day in, day out. I totally applaud him for that.

He still wanders round that area and he still dresses like theres been a one-man raid on the Donnay shop or something. He's still worth checking out.

Also, if you feel the need to be rude to this dude just because he looks a little eccentric, you're a bad person and should stop reading this blog.
