you don't live in Brighton do you?

hahahahaha
you're from brighton haha!!!
( GrandmaOfShoes, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:11, archived)

yes
It's ace here, luckily I live in a village just on the outskirts, so I don't get attacked for spare change by the cashpoint.
That is soooo intimidating in town.
I was once homeless and lived on the streets, it wasn't fun, but you wouldn't catch me begging like a twat, I made an effort to go and earn money by doing oddjobs for people, and worst I did was busking.
People pay you to go away if you play a penny whistle :)

i was kidding anyway :P

( GrandmaOfShoes, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:16, archived)

I know
I was merely having a dig at people who think it's a perfectly GOOD thing to sit and ask for spare change, rather than get off their backside and go and be useful.
( Lu, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:18, archived)

I love the idea that anyone
would have "spare" change
( dutchbird, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:19, archived)

yes I always merrily inform them
'No, but I shall enjoy spending my carkeys'
Although I don't own a car. Having said this, once a beggar hassled me and I happened to have one of my kids with me, so I had a rant 'How dare you ask a single parent with a child for money, you should be ashamed rah rah rah' and he gave me a tenner.. so they ain't all bad.
( Lu, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:22, archived)

Yay!
That's a nice story. I live right in the centre of town, any hassle I get I tell them I live locally and they normally apologise and go and hassle the tourists

worst busker i ever saw was using a penny whistle
he had a paper snake attached to it by string.
The astounding level of visual entertainment was matched only by the man's absolute lack of any musical talent whatsoever and the strange smell of wee from him.
( Ulic, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:18, archived)

I never had snakes
or smelt of wee
( Lu, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:18, archived)

i never lived on the streets

(is it lunch hour at the daily mail offices?)
( Dr. Shambolic loverable rouge, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:15, archived)

I should image it's lunch hour
in a number of places.
Including the Office of UnFluff.
( Kamikaze Stoat balanced for lean, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:17, archived)

We had a gurgling baby
in our offices earlier
so fluff quotient is still relatively high

baby fluff?

A guy came up to me in Carnaby Street the other day
proferring his cup and asking for a bit of change.
I duly gave up the coins of my pocket into his cup, and he looked into the cup, which I only then noticed to still be half-full of coffee.

Did you demand your money back
on the grounds of incorrect usage of a begging cup?
( Samsonite, Fri 12 Mar 2004, 13:20, archived)

and why do they hang around
under cashpoints? Like you're gonna go withdraw £30, see them and think, "nah, make it £40. Here you go, have this tenner on me." That's either very optimistic, or just plain cocky.
