This is inspired by a few lads talking about a chap called "Purple Aki" in the Redknapp thread. Thought it might be fun to run through a few famous local's from around our areas.

So I was googling this "Purple Aki" chap to see wtf he was famous, and I came across this site:

Its really very good with all kinds of funny stories of crazies all around Britain, maybe you'll know a few, as all regions are covered.

My local "extrovert" is a guy called Mad Mick. This guy's basically been about 70 for as long as I remember. Why he's famous is the fact that he's a seriously ripped old Ulsterman who lives in a caravan, and likes to walk his 3 alsations dressed in a sleevless top (showing off the guns), army combats, and armed with ****ING KNUMBCHUCKS.

Whenever kids would shout "Hey Mick!" at him, he'd ramdomly swivel around and wave his knumbchucks all over the place like Chuck Norris. Strangely, was known to sharpen lawnmower blades for people and have a collection of Ninja stars in his caravan
