best of all when i got home the latvian girls across the road were in bikinis! now thats a good day
it looked something like this only a bit different

the homeless

like me many people think all the homeless people are either druggies or alcoholics!
i am now ashamed to feel this way after walking to the train station this morning at 0520.
as i came up the spiral staircase (made of stone and victorian) i came across the above ,and old duvet,soap,toothpaste,deodrant,shampoo and shoes placed neatly! no one insight but no druggie or alcky here just some poor lad on the bones of his arse,he was knowhere to be seen but i left a couple of quid.
it really put into perspective my lack of car,and not being able to go to the 'with'

i hope the guy is okay and had a meal off the £5 i left
