Crazy Magic Bus Lady
Has anyone seen the lady on magic buses giving out leaflets? She's been around for a few weeks now.
I kind of want to know the reason behind her cause. At first I read one of her leaflets, giving her the benefit of the doubt - seems to be due to some unknown event to do with her kids and husband. Anyone heard the background to her protests?

I think I might have seen her! Is she shortish with lots of bags and one of those pull behind shopping trolleys?
Even if not, that woman was talking to my flatmate and I on Oxford Road, and asked us where we live and went on about how disgusting it is that the university should put us so far out with such bad transport links.
Then I saw her yesterday shouting at some man as he jumped in a taxi, then rambling as she walked down the road.
She seemed nice enough, pretty harmless. She had LOADS of black and white leaflets but didn't give me one. What's it about?

Oh and there was also some woman talking to the bus driver REALLY loudly, I could hear her from upstairs and she was pretty mean to the driver. Just ranting about the general state and price of buses, all the way from the College of Music to Moss Side on the 86.
Well if she was stupid enough to pay what Stagecoach ask from Picc to Chorlton (£2.30) then I very much agree with her 
Since UK North charge £1.10 for the same journey.
I just get the £14.00 a week ticket now, it saves me so much hassle messing about with bus companies tickets which leave you stranded when the service changes over etc.

It's funny I see UK North going from the College of Music TO Chorlton very often. But I've never seen one at the bus station. What do they do?
Yeah I saw her last Thursday; she gave me a leaflet, was largely incomprehensible. Not sure what to make of it, though it would seem a sad case. Also encountered a crazy woman on Upper Brook just outside Tesco on Sunday; she told me to "get the f**k out of my life you b**stard" and walked behind me shouting abuse...
Eek it seems like the crazy magic bus leaflet lady is the least harmless of local crazies...
The gist of the leaflet is something like she tried to divorce her husband and he wants to kill her and her sons or something, but it makes no sense. She seems to think that everyone who refuses a leaflet has been told by the police to be like that. (Eek I hope she doesn't see this and target me!)
Hehe is the 86 notes man the one who wears really bright coloured robes?

ARGH the crazy magic bus lady! She's been around for ages. She used to do the 85 to Chorlton route when I was at school years ago and now she attacks people on the 142. Shes well weird. Said that iPods and mobiles were dangerous and then got into a row with some random guy which wound up with her yelling that she must protect her children and her race and guestered to some poor terrified white girls.
She comes into my shop, she is a bit crazy but she is a very nice lady if you actually stop and talk to her.
Her children were taken away from her and they now live with her husband in India...unfortunately she has gone a little but loopy in the meantime and believe that everyone is out to get her, including all of the Arndale centre staff apart from my shop as we do her photocopying and faxing letters (to the government!!!) She is probably a little mislead but does no harm.
It is sad to see as she is very well educated lady, she has a masters and a doctorate. If what she says is true it seems to have driven her too far. She is convinved that someone is trying to kill her and that her children are in trouble... she hasn't seen them for many many years!
She only gives the leaflets to women as she believes that all the men are part of the sect that her husband belongs to. She thinks that when buses are full, it is all lies, it is people with cars filling the buses so that she can not get onto them. The best thing to do if she gives you a leaflet is just take it and read it...although it may not make much sense it can sometimes be interesting.
It is very sad to see someone like this, especially such a nice lady...none of you have on here, but anyone who sees her please try not to judge her she is going through some turmoil inside...imagine how you would feel if you were absolutely convinced someone was trying to kill you and your children...and if you weren't even sure if your children were dead already??
Just thought I would fill you in, I know its her because shes told me the bus routes she takes and regularly leaves me a leaflet but I think she is less 'preachy' to me than she is to those on buses.

Thanks! Yeah on the latest leaflet it says she's got an MA so I thought that at least some time in the past she was ok, which made me think something bad really had happened.

That's the badger! It's the freemasons she thinks are out to kill her! Ta x
I see her like every other day, she hangs around Owen's park like at 3am. Also caught her on the magic bus, last time the driver kicked her out. She apparantly has 5 different handouts and gives me a different one each time, but they are so messy with writing all over the place, it's hard to make out whats going on!!
She has new handouts all the time... they are 'developments'
I think I saw this woman during Freshers week.
Me and my new Fresher mates thought she was hilarious.
She was by the Student Travel Shop on Oxford Rd, where that plastic police officer is, and she was talking about 'passing her fight on to younger legs' since Tony Blair was coming to town.
"He won't listen to the meek!" she cried.
