This man was waiting patiently outside the supermarket. Later in the day, I spotted a road sign bearing the message that became the title of this post. He knew what he was getting in for.

Everything about him is affable, if somewhat loosely defined. But then, that’s part of his charm you see. Good old Bertie. Be nice if you see him.

Bucket Hat
March 20, 2010
Saw this old sort hanging around outside a newsagent. The shop wasn’t open and he waited around for about 20 minutes, not doing very much other than blinking, looking around and staring at me. Then he wandered off. What a story. I bet you can’t wait for the next installment.

Crocodile Rock

Enjoying a contemplative soft drink of some kind. Probably too much sugar but this guy didn’t look too bothered about that. Besides, it’s in a hospital cafeteria, so if things go a bit pear-shaped, you’re in safe hands.

Old Man Coffee

Like the song says, he just keeps rollin’ on. Ol’ Man River that is, but Old Man Coffee’s much the same. Get’s less sleep, that’s all.
