Vic and I befriended a tramp last night. Michael was his name. I bought him a pint and he fell asleep on a pub bench. It was fun :)

Anyone else got any tramp related stories?

I used to walk this old mans dogs for a fiver a week when i was little. I used to sit with the tramps in the summer by the railway and have a chat when I wanted a rest.

But then I grew breasts and the tramps started getting a bit too friendly...

I remember being in London once before and we ran into a tramp and started speaking to him - he was a nice bloke, and one of my friends ending up giving him a joint, a McDonalds flag (the little mini ones they give to kids), and various other thinks we had got from there.

We left him in the middle of the street, and got a picture (can't remember where it is) of him smoking a joint, with a car of beer next to him, a mcdonalds flag, party hat and a ballon tied around his neck.

i really must find that photo

don't forget we also made an enemy of a different tramp and caused him to run into the bookies with his lightsabre.

I used to do graveyard shifts at a service station - and this old guy would wager me for a packet of cigarettes that he could sell the whole freezer full of ice (it was the middle of the Australian summer) in 24 hours for me. This used to happen anyway , so he would march in and demand his cigarettes EVERY day ......... it got to the point where I had to lock him in the cool room until he would calm down. Silly old homeless man he was!!!!!

Heh, I remember meeting this tramp bloke in brighton (one night in November 2000 I think) and Me and my mates feed him bits of our kebabs that we had. And after some chat on these stairs to some building he took us to this 24hr Cafe that was somewhere in brighton where they was playing Elvis songs really loud.
It must have been a funny sight to see a tramp with 3 pisshead kids walking about without a clue where the hell they was going.

After that, I threw up and me & mates sat huddled up like a bunch of girls blouses waiting for the trainstation to open up. (being that the trainstation closes at 2am and opens up at 4:30 for the first trains. Not to forget that also in november the weather is slighty windy and very cold in the morning! :-S )

Anyways, the tramp was a pretty cool guy, funny thing is that we bumped into him again at the trainstation when we caught the train back.

gave a tramp a few quid once for a "cup of tea" (fucking expensive cup of tea), my friend told me later she saw him getting into a jaguar. Pissed off with tramps ever since
