I'd dress up as Conan.
My favourite literary character is probably Door, from neverwhere, but she's a girl and I'm not wearing a dress to work twice.

Altalt: way more often than I should. Still, you'll only feel shut for a day, some people feel shit always.

I was up and about pretty early yesterday
I was surprised at how many rough sleepers I saw on my way to the station, Tragic really when you look at the amount of empty office space there is in the centre of my home town.

if they had the forethought, they'd be squatting in it.
Actually, if they had the forethought they probably wouldn't be homeless.

What they should do, right, is start a business and rent themselves some of that office space.
Then they could kip in there after their staff go home for the night.

I've never hear of "Neverwhere" before according to Wiki...
Not only is it a book they also televised it.
Do you recommend it as a read?

Lenny Henry was involved.

OK.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Mar 2013, 9:09, Reply)

The idea for the story came from a conversation between Gaiman and Henry about a possible television series.
Henry suggested a story with tribes of homeless people in London. Gaiman was initially reluctant to commit, as he feared that making the homeless appear "cool" might cause more young people to attempt to emulate the characters, but decided that the effect could be avoided by making the story more removed from reality.
