Youri McAnespie Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) You've not lived until you've dossed down on some pallets in a garage behind a block of flats - spooning a mate for warmth. Me and another lad had to sleep rough at Lime Street aged 14 and 15 after missing the train after a gig, I rang home and and said I was back in Bolton but had bumped into a mate and we were Kipping at his, soft lad rang home and told all, thinking his dad would mooch to Liverpool at midnight in his Land Rover. His dad just told him not to go asleep or he'd be bummed. There were loads of prossies and this lad tried to blag taxi fare to Bolton off them, I can still hear them laughing. We dossed down on a parked train. I washed my hands in the bog as the sink wasn't working.

Not in Crawley Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I've been stranded many a time. Always had the money to find somewhere to kip though. Slept on the floor of Charles De Gaul Airport as I ran out of cash for the early flight when i was 18. Not very nice and not in a hurry to repeat it. I'm from Smithills, we don't sleep outside unless it's under a very expensive canvas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Slept outside the Apollo in Ardwick with mates to be at the front of the queue for Quo tickets. I went hunting for grub early doors... found a Kwiksave around the corner and gestured through the window to the shelf stacker I wanted food by pointing at my open mouth , he was locked in and pushed a packet of ginger nuts under the door one by one... if you're still out there, cheers pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol_BWFC Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Slept on a curb at Victoria Bus Station (London) after getting pissed at a wedding once. Not pleasant in a £699 suit and having spent £700 on a wedding present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Smithills, we don't sleep outside unless it's under a very expensive canvas. I kipped on the bench of a Spanish airport because I had only few pesetas left to get the last bus, and my flight was at sparrow fart except it was delayed for three hours, I was also 18, I didn't even have enough for a bottle of water, and to add insult to injury some Spanish lads were playing awful Spanish music all night. My parents said I looked like a Somme veteran when I got home 18 hours later with my fiver in sterling I'd kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 23, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2022 I was chopping some wood earlier, and the rain came. I took shelter in the wood store whilst the elements did their thing. Lay back and shut my eyes for a while end just listened. Was brilliant, except for some chunks poking into me. Reckon I might put a hammock in there- a fresh air nod opportunity in between periods of intense physical activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up in a squat once, I had no idea where I was it was total darkness - although it was morning, I stumbled to the door and realised it was near Salford Crescent. I think I'd been to The Music Box, then a haze, didn't get bummed to my knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I've spent 15hrs in the pissing down rain through the night outside Size at Bold St, Liverpool for a pair of Stuttgarts and done the same at Size Manchester for Gazza Gazzelles, even though lads are selling them now for a oner..

Sounds grand but here it is... not really a jetty, I got a load of timber from a local yard and spent a week making it up as I went along, the water is lower in summer so i didn't get too wet. Its survived for a good few years now so I must have done something right. Wife reckons its the best thing I've ever done, not bad for some gash decking and carcassing... wait til she sees the tree house I've got in mind...

I had a bastard farmer up stream capsize a trailer of bagged fertiliser into the river, the Environmental Agency had to divert the river into fields and pump it away but we lost a lot of fish... took a couple of years to recover... so its not all perfect here. It was his second offence so hopefully they'll chuck the book at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumping some broken plastic kids' toys is one thing - but it is an extremely cuntish trick to chuck binbags of domestic rubbish, including food, nappies etc. What kind of cunt thinks it's acceptable?
