So anyway , as I waited on a bench in the park for most of the people to leave ,
I at one point stood up to then walk a very short distance to place my egg shells and empty water bottles into a bin and I experienced what I would describe as unsettling electrical activity in my brain . I also felt very dizzy . Things were very definitely starting to get much worse . I sat back down on the bench and smoked some tobacco . I then began to imagine Things . Beside me on the bench was my BasTArd heavy backpack , that backpack was then turned into , by my very tired mind , a little old woman beggar, who I had hours earlier given money to as I passed her on a bridge over The Seine . She had kissed my hand with thanks . She looked like Mother Theresa . I started to talk to her ( My Bag) . I remember saying something like" I'm sorry I only gave you a euro , help me get out of this jam and I'll give you more tomorrow " . My bag didn't say anything back to me , instead , she just stared straight ahead with a slight smile on her face . I also strangely felt that I was in Dublin and not Paris .

PART 8 .
It was now about 11.30 and the lamp lights had gone out in the park . I went into the bushes to take a p1ss and my visit into the bushes sent rats scattering in all directions . About 30 mins earlier I had seen a couple of them coming out to play . I'm not afraid of rats , I'm a man not a mouse or a girlie , but still I was not comfortable with them being there , especially in such numbers . I remember thinking that I'd be fast asleep in my tent and I then wake up to find that the little BUGG.ers had chewed my smelly toes off . I decided to leave the park , not because of the rats , I decided to leave the park because of the recent arrival of far more dangerous types of rat . Drug users and alcoholics , they all seemed to be eyeing me up . Because of my tiredness I felt very vulnerable . I left the park , put my little old woman back on my back and started walking . I had no idea were I was going . Write more in 10 mins . |

After resting at a bus stop for half an hour , to try and get my sH1t together I realised I only had one option. I would have to sleep on the street , and that's what I did . I slept on the street in Sebastopol . I slept here (Pic below) |

I never used my tent , I may as well left it at home . |

PART 10 .
To reach my sleeping place , I had to climb over a chain link fence , I then walked down some brightly lit steps , I covered the nearest of the bright lights with a purple coloured flannel . Here's a view of the place I slept as I rested on a dirty concrete floor . |

When I finally got some sleep on my first night in Paris ,
I estimated that I had put an end to over 60 hours without any . I had slept for only seconds here and seconds there . I had possibly slept 3 minutes during that time . I could count that on the one missing fingered hand of The late great Irish comedian , Dave Allen . Anyone remember Dave Allen ? |
|
By:
I'll write a little bit more tomorrow .
Goodnight . . |
|
By:
Not slept yet , I j u st want to write this about Dave Allen .
I remember watching him when I was a boy with My Father . As a comedian , he didn't tell jokes as such , instead he told funny observant tales . I'm not very up to scratch about comedians of today but I know that he would put the likes of Frankie Boyle and other effers and jeffers like him to shame . |
|
By:
I forget the name of the so called comedian from the north east who swears all
the time in his act . He wears a mad colourful coat and a German helmut type hat . I can't think of his name . I personally feel that people like that unfunny moron damage society. I'm not against swearing , I swear myself all the time but I think it shouldn't ever be common place or acceptable to swear willy nilly . . Bob Monkhouse was a great comedian . I loved Frankie Howerd too . |

![]() ![]() I adore Dave Allen and this was a classic, I laughed my head off. Although I was upset to see that it only had about 6000 views. Considering other clips get millions and billions it is a travesty. But then there could be another clip of the same thing which has got millions, I haven't looked. Thanks akabula ![]() |

That link I posted had the opening bit missing Annie.
Heres the full clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIXSnEyvtzg |

I realised the opening bit was missing as I had seen this before, but I still laughed at the full video. It still had only 10000 views

PART 11 .
I woke up on a Sunday morning in Sebastopol at 6 , after sleeping for just over 3 hours . Those few hours did me a world of good . I got dressed packed my sH1t together and went on my way . Talking about sH1t , I hadn't had one for almost two days , and I dreaded the prospect of being caught short . On my first day in Paris , I don't recall seeing a public toilet , or a McDonald's or Starbucks . When I needed to take a p1ss the day before , I did it in a quiet street and I don't think anyone saw me , but I wasn't about to do the same with a number two . I've never had a sh1t in a street in my life , I'm not going to start in Paris , although if I had of done , it would have been an apt comment of what I was thinking about the city at the time . About three hours later in Chatelet , I went into a shop and bought tomatoes , cheese , and eggs . Earlier , from a stall on The Metro , I had bought two large mangoes . My plan was to find a public bog or a Starbucks , McDonalds , eat my food and then pop into one of those places to have my dump . Two friendly Chinese men kindly helped me to find a Starbucks . I had minutes earlier been ignored when I had said 'Bonjour ' to a froggy , in preparation to then ask him about finding a starbucks or McDonalds , he didn't say anything , he just looked at me like I was a tramp . I did look a bit rough at this time I suppose , but still I think it was easy to gauge that I was a visitor and that I needed help . I was rapidly losing patience with the stuck up froggs . Later that day , I started to put some of them in their place , and I continued in that vein until I left for London the next day . So with the help I received from the two Chinese fellas , I made my way to Starbucks . In there I bought myself a large cafe au lait , which cost almost 5 euros .I then sat outside and smoked . After eating all the food I had earlier bought and drinking the delicious pricey coffee , nature had still not shown any sign of starting to make it's call . I was determined I wasn't going to leave Starbucks until I'd had a CrAp . A Crap that England would be proud of . . . I NEED A COFFEE . I've not had one today . I may then need a number two , too . Be back here later . |

By:
PART 12 .
Nature needed more urging to make it's call . I went back in Starbucks and bought another large coffee , I also bought Crepes , which I smothered in butter . Delicious ! About 30 minutes later , after being at StarB for almost two hours , my PooPoo started to make it's move , It's break for freedom . I went upstairs to use the toilet , no sooner had I entered the cubicle and then downed my kecks , there was a knockin on the cubicle door , " Hold on I've only just got in here , give us a minute ". About two minutes later after I had very happily carried out my business , I opened the cubicle door to then surprisingly find a woman standing outside the cubicle door . She was a rather attractive French lady , she said " MERCI" to me and dashed inside , almost knocking me over as she did so . I can't believe I'm writing about takin A P00 . I'm going to bed . I'll try and write more today . I won't mention p00 again . |

So to recap:
You go to one of the finest cities in the world with the intention of sleeping in a tent in a park. You’ve barely slept for a couple of days and someone looks at you as if they were looking at a tramp (your words not mine). You then take a piss down one of the city’s boulevards and on your return to the UK have the sheer gall to pronounce Paris as dirty? You’re hardly a living, breathing, walking Fabreeze yourself are you? Cheers. |

Aright denz? I don’t drift over here to often but I was having a lazy Sunday and some how got reading this whole thread whilst semi watching the tennis. Like I say it’s an entertaining thread but if this guys for real he’d be better off shop lifting till he gets caught then telling the judge to fck off so he gets at least a month inside and will probably do 10 days and have a better more comfortable break away than this crazy episode in his life
