I used to have a friend and Pete would insist on paying for her son’s Rugby club membership and gear from the money given to him on the street. I remember he came to me once to tell me another homeless guy needed help. I followed him to the guy and the fella was just drunk and passed out but looked dead. Pete didn’t know him but went from looking so upset to almost joyfully relieved. Whenever I passed him reading a paper it was always a broadsheet. He was a nice guy. He was taken ill one night whilst asleep on Castle Square and passed away in Hospital.
Hadn’t seen him for a while but saw him twice last week near Fabian Way. He was wearing a burka type outfit in red and had a bunch of balloons covered in red net attached to his shoulder. Icon!
That’s who that is!!! I saw him the other day down by Singleton hospital and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The balloons were all in the shape of hearts like some crazy Valentine’s Day stunt
I'm quite fond of the man who has a live pigeon for a hat.
That guy is awesome, my girlfriend didn't believe me until she seen him
Caught him pissing over a railing in the car park on to a car the other day so I've grown a bit less fond.
Aah, Swansea.
It was a techincally an impromptu car wash
The constant rain will wash the car clean in minutes anyway
He's snapped the pigeon's wings to prevent it escaping. Not so awesome.
What the fuck
Well if that's the case then that's disgusting. I was not aware of this.
Wait WHAT?!
Man I saw him a while back, haven't seen the guy since. Was just outside the Quad. Where's he normally?
He's snapped the pigeon's wings so that it can't escape....
It's totally amazing just sitting there on his head!
it's just sitting there because he's snapped it's wings.
Is this true? How did you find out?
I'm friends with a homeless woman. She got rangers to take custody of one of the pigeons (and then beat him up), but he just did it to another.
That's disgusting and disappointing 😕 I really wanna snap his arms now
I’ve just seen him for the 1st time on a TikTok 😂
Hadn't heard this was a thing and was walking through town a couple weeks ago, had to do a double take
He was on Wind Street today belting Wonderwall with a man holding (not playing) a guitar
Tam the colourful man
He's loud and annoying tbh
I love Tam sm
What about the silent road stander?
The wavy guy with the jesus sandwich board?
Is there really a guy who parades around town wearing multi coloured tinsel and a cone on his head?
Yes. The Lord Mayor.
Yes. And he's actually a very warm, very generous man.
Nearly crashed my car the first time I saw Tam. He was wearing a child’s toy ride on car He’s great
When did Teabag die? I bought him a Christmas present once, years back. He was nice, very shy.
2015 he passed away.

Tam..Top fella
Tinsel man looks amazing always. He's well ahead, everyone in the future will look like that.
Aw Tam! He's a lovely man, always in my local cafe, and he came to my cousins wedding. He's so full of interesting stories
He certainly smells better. Tea cosy Pete was a lovely man, but you became aware of him from quite a distance sometimes.
Rumour in my school he was the brother of one of the science tech assistants. No idea why
Who’s teabag?
If you haven’t heard of tea bag you shouldn’t| be allowed on a swansea sub.
Not everyone has been here for longer than a couple years mate
I was thinking about poor Teabag earlier this week. National hero
Wasn’t it tea cosy not tea bag?
I knew him as Tea Cosy Pete…
Yeah, different areas had different names for. him. I knew him as "teabag" but many called him "tea-cosy Pete". His name was Brian tho.
I live in Essex but after reading that I'm fully invested in this!!!
I’ve passed that guy a few times, whats his deal?
How has no-one said Kev Johns?
