So, anyone know his story? Was told last night he "lived" somewhere in the region of Newman, but he's been lounging on the stairs on the ground floor of the Sci Hub right opposite the new canteen for the past week or so, well between eight and nine anyway! Anyone know anything about him?

Doesn't 'live' on campus but somewhere down towards Vincents/Syndey Parda DART station. Used to see him walking up Nutley Ave. every day at about 7.30/8 for as long as I can remember, probably last 10 years at least.

Its why you might hear him called 'Nutley Bum'

Dave I remember the tread got locked because didnt some crazy people want to patronise him or something?

anyway yeah. Few hobos on campus c/w lots of rumors. The reason he stays is more likely because service cant remove him phsically and the gards arnt bothered not that hes some Arnold Schwarznegger woman saver

Pffft, I think we all know what Arnie would really have done in that situation

I haven't seen the bum in a while 'cause I haven't bothered coming in much in a long time...too long.
Lol, I do love a good "KABLAMO", Dave.

As far as I know the Little Sisters of The Poor in Roebuck offer him shelter on occasion, he's a quiet man who likes to keep to himself, although probably likes the hustle and bustle of college as security now and then.

He's been around this area (I live beside UCD) for a good 15 years, anyway. Never caused any trouble in that period to the best of my knowledge.

I warned you in another thread, but I'm going to warn you again here, and probably PM you as well.

Cop on to yourself. Other people have no problem using this forum without acting like 13 year olds. Why can't you? If you don't drop the emo attitude I'll ban you. I hate emos.

Okay kids. Here is the situtation. There is a homeless lad that hangs around campus. Probably simply because there are plenty of indoor places ect. It was rumored that he saved a girl from being raped along nutley lane a few years ago . Thats about it. Its really not that exciting.

People have seen him piss himself in broad daylight. So I doubt that the rumour that he has two phd's is true
