They're talking about erecting a statue of him and his dog at the spot by the bank where he used to busk. I hope they..would go some way to restoring my faith in humanity

I couldn't believe I was informed of Matt the Jap's death by my iGoogle page on Saturday morning. Trinity won't be the same. Can't believe them rumours about him writing on books were reprinted in the paper. Rest in peace!

(I'm also a fan of how the term Jap is being used in these PC-gone-mad days.)

Nick the Nip is alive and well though

As is Steve the Slope (actually an affectionate name for the gentle hill at the back of our house, racism fans).

poor auld mat. the ucd vagrant just isn't as good

 

[minka]

he was an absolute legend. used to come into the SU shop every day and we'd have to give him the paper and stuff. sad circumstances under which he died -the irish times was right about trinity having that 'not-the-sameness' about it now. rip matteo!!!!

he used to regularly come into the jcr and stick a note under my nose saying "complimentary cup of coffee?". you had to admire the gumption of the man.

DCU wouldn't fund a vagrant despite muted campaigns in support of one.

I think the majority of students in Kevin St were vagrants.

dont you love the way he was called matteo though?

it makes me think he should have wandered trinity on horseback brandishing a sword. imagine how cool THAT would have been.

matteo. also kind of a porn star name too.

I think that was just the students union. Not really the same thing.

I'm guessing your day there was roughly the same as my day there, so we're probably talking about the same people


Edit: I don't know why I guess that. Maybe you seem old
