Newcastles colourful characters part two; Diet Slayer

Diet Slayer was one of my favourite creatures when I lived in the Tillys flat. He's this dude who wears like XL size 'metal shirts' (You know the ones, those black tee's with dragons on them, or some kind of warrior), even though he must weigh about 9 stone. He would walk by in his huge shirts and ridiculously tight jeans (Or occasionally leather pants), huge kathmandu boots clinking in the distance, every day, and I always liked catching him. 'Diet Slayer' was Callums name for him. I liked 'Slayer-lite', but Callums was more catchy. I wonder what that dude does for a living, that he could dress so outlandishly every day? He was about 35 too. I'm presuming he had a job, because he was in the city centre every day and although he looks unlikely, he doesn't look poor or crazy.

I've seen him in Heaton once since moving, and he looked the same, though he has acquired himself a she-slayer, to which I say 'You go dude!'.
