Cool by jump the ladder (4.00 / 2) #1 Tue May 17, 2005 at 06:18:27 AM EST

A great story. Never been homeless myself but then I've got friends and family in London to fall back on if all goes pear shaped.

Pear shaped? by debacle (2.00 / 0) #17 Wed May 18, 2005 at 01:30:55 PM EST

I don't understand the terminology behind this. I am assuming pear shaped == to shit?

Care to explain?

All you is go around asking people 'what does this mean?' 'what does that mean?'
That's what google is there for, you lazy sod!

You can learn how to turn on a light switch by debacle (4.00 / 1) #21 Thu May 19, 2005 at 02:26:49 PM EST

By reading a book.

Having someone show you is much faster for everyone involved.

You've just proven you can write non-tediously. Now you have no excuse to go back.

Never got that bad for me by nebbish (4.00 / 3) #3 Tue May 17, 2005 at 06:24:04 AM EST

Always had friends to fall back on. But then I haven't been adventurousness to move abroad with no safety net.

+1FP, really good read.

It wasn't 'being adventurous' by extremely tedious HuSer (4.00 / 2) #4 Tue May 17, 2005 at 06:32:26 AM EST

as much as 'running away from shit'

The only difference between those two by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 3) #15 Tue May 17, 2005 at 08:47:37 AM EST

is a matter of a proper screenplay and treatment.

Also, +1, FP, sir. Excellent work. Sorry you had to live through it, of course, but glad you made it out, and can now fill that gaping void of checkered past tales!

excellent story by 256 (2.00 / 0) #22 Mon May 23, 2005 at 08:47:59 AM EST

i have always had a certain romantic attachment to the two months that i spent homeless, but my experience does not even bear comparison to yours.

i was homeless in toronto, where i had a significant number of friends. i always had the options of couches available to me (though i didn't want to wear out my welcome or strain the friendships) and would only actually sleep outside about one night in three. and of course, english is my first language, so i could always talk myself out of trouble.
