Old Street Art Pranks

Jarvis the Pelvis

He was on his girls bike riding up past that shop that has a MASSIVE 'Cheap Booze' sign up outside it. I reckon that's where he was headed. (He's going grey, just as a side note).

Rick of ChannelFly fame

i saw him crossing the road near barclays on city road. His hair was mainly made up of pink bits.

Mel from Big Brother

It was about 3 weeks ago - 11am, and she was either pissed or lost. she had posh clothes on. i got the impression she was waiting for someone to recognise her, so i just barged past her into the bank. she's very short.

Ronnie `The Rocket' O'Sullivan

Thursday lunchtime. Ronnie was having a stroll with his veh tasty missus. In jovial mood and relaxed dress... His recent crash and burn at the crucible obviously not weighing too heavy on his cockney shoulders.
