There is annoying bloke who hangs outside the Tesco Metro near my place. Everytime he is asking for

[Pat Vegas]

money.

his prices varies day to day. the standard is 20p. but he is one of these approachy types. I sort of moaned at him and he apologised.

He's harmless but a pain in the arse. so much so I may avoid going to that particular shop anymore.

I'd been drinking *** free beer *** all night at the annual works do (we can't have it at Christmas) so my pocket felt heavier than it should.

That's my charity for the year sorted. Next beggar gets "Sorry mate, just given all my change to someone else" :evil: :devil: :flames:

Hang on, it's the tube isnt it? Speaking is verboten

[Pat Vegas]

obviously not the best evening as I was on my way home but I was happy enough a bit drunk walking in a confident manner.

Hello Mr Tramp in the tube station. I bent down to give him some money. As I got up I didn't quite see the curve of the entrance to the platform and smacked my head right on it. Went down like a sack and woke up seeing stars. Went and sat on the platform for a bit to regain my senses.

How is a decent Londoner supposed to enjoy the tranquil meditation / literary perusal / candy crush advancement and consumption of free newspapers with clueless étrangers rabbiting on.

They should have signs on all entrances to the city. Rule 1. Stand on the right on escalators. Rule 2. Don't stand in the platform entrance corking up the f**king tunnel. Move DOWN along the platform. Rule 3. Shut up.

Red Bull wouldn't be the Manchester City of Formula 1 and someone other than Sebastian Vettel might win the league.

people you despise and who may have raped your children is considered essential. But in modern urban society, the number of contacts has risen exponentially to the point where France spends half of it's day mwuah-mwuahing. It's madness.

I actually, seriously want them to just die. :-(

I remember once in Manchester buying paracetamol and Red Bull after a long night in the Deansgate Hilton. The silly northern tart in the Tesco Express seemed to think it would be a good idea to comment jocosely on my condition.

I was forced to be rude to her, j. I 'm not proud of it. But if she'd just shut up it wouldn't have been necessary. :-(

[Pat Vegas]

Didn't expect a language barrier.

Though he asked it like this 'got a comb mate?'

Sorry?
Got a comb mate?
I don't know

He went mental :hehe: I still annoy him with it.

or whatever it is they say. I get my norvern from Wallace and Gromit.

Some dirty tramp asked for a light once. he then put both his trampy hands on mine to shield the wind :-(

When I held the pack out for him to lift one out the **** grabbed the whole box and scarpered.*******.

Years ago there was a regular at Old Street tube, with a very annoying tone which dripped resentment and self-pity. "Can you spare some CHANGE! PLEASE!".

One day, shortly after I'd read a piece about beggars in the area buying smack and leaving dirty needles around estates where small kids were playing with them, I witnessed this bloke get a little bit of a kicking, with his change flying everywhere. I don't like violence as a rule, but I found that episode strangely satisfying.

He was ace. He was either there or at Exmouth Market. Haven't seen him in years now I assume he is dead :-(

[redgunamo]

resentment and self-pity; enjoying being top man and a' that?

Everybody knows by now that it only makes matters worse surely.

[Ashberto]

imo.

You see, that's what 'friendly' should really mean - being prepared to help when there is a genuine need and a genuine opportunity. Friendly shouldn't mean having to painfully talk to someone just because they have decided that they want some of your time and energy.

[Classic Jorge]

I mean, if the guy is an addict then youre just helping him keep the wolves from the door.

[Pat Vegas]

At least do something.

There is one bloke in Angel who sings through a traffic cone.

Except for the giver, of course.

In my experience the nastiest northerners are from that side of the Pennines.

Until a guy I know explained to me there is NOT ONE homeless person in Belfast that can't be given a bed for the night.
It's just they have to hand their dole money over to the Shelter people who buy them grub with it etc.
