mariag 4 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 There used to be a large longhaired guy who's job was to collect glasses in the salutation I believe.... he was definately ga ga..... some say too many drugs!!! Is this chap still floating around? He was also a regular at rock city in late 80's.. My only hope now is he's not a member on this forum!!! ps. The term 'axe man' was my friends and I!!!!

radfordred 6,284 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sounds like Axeman. A bit simple but pretty harmless apart from the aroma. He used to wander round the Tap collecting glasses even though he didn't actually work there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I saw the poor bu99er set on by about a dozen 'Mods' outside the Wimpey near the Odeon, he did no more than to drag himself back to his feet , they legged it ' and in his anger he crashed both his fists against the window of said Wimpey . God did it rattle , I thought the whole building was going to come down !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Robbie asked, on 08 Jan 2015 - 3:47 PM, said: Does anybody remember the big guy who was a bit unsteady on his pins that just wondered around the city? I think it would have been in the 80/90's.He wore denims, his jacket had Hells Angels on the back. He had long unkempt hair and l think he wore a sweat band across on his head. I never saw him in any pubs just walking often muttering to himself.I have no particular reason for asking but he was a regular in the city and I have not spotted him for years. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1074&page=20#entry318907 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
