Wino for a Day.

kneemos

Sit in the park,drink cheap booze and beg for money when you're pissed enough.
Often thought it would be worth a try for a day.
What ya think?

Even just get some ill fitting clothes from the charity shop,drink and shout at the pigeons and gaze at the clouds . Definitely a day well spent.

Done it. Some nitwit called Bert sat beside me and asked for ideas about d'conemy. I was eating mushrooms and gave it my best shot.....turns out I'm no good with figures. He also asked me for a digout. Which i thought was disgusting.

Tombi!

Yeah, let's say it's a good idea to be an alcoholic that needs to beg to get more drink.

Frynge

I'm doing it right now, except I'm drinking 18yo scotch and begging for food from the wife....... And on boards.

Cookie_Monster

The trick though, is to hide you audi a6 around the corner so people don't realise

Be sure to arrange it for a dry day OP.

Good cigarette butts are in more plentiful supply then.

I've done posh knacker drinking on the canal in the middle of winter. Homebrew cider from paper coffee cups. Aw, I'd love to do that again.

Been there, done it...moving along

Except then afterwards you get to go home..
Sounds like a horribly patronising Channel 4 "How the other half life" style documentary

Reminds of that show they did on the BBC, rich famous and homeless. All them posh people, sickening it was. That relative of churchill who quit on the first night for a hotel.

Sounds like fun. I can admit I often occasionally thought about what it might be like to do for a day.
For added authenticity you could not shower for a week and have a smell of piss and sh!t off ya.

Get some makeup done to give ya the look of having sores and rash all over your face.

Get sick at passers by.

Chemical Byrne

Stagger about in the road in front of traffic. Throw a can at anyone who beeps.

Piss up the walls in the local park.

See if you can get "in" with the local winos. It's all about integration.

Saturday for college students I hear. :P

Takes many years to get that weather beaten look.

Some have made it to the suburbs. Came into contact with one as I was leaving Molloy's off license in Clondalkin a while back.

cos when you’re laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah



The Grass Arena is an interesting book on the art of alcoholic vagrancy.

He's not saying his suffering like the homeless. Basically having a boozy picnic.

My brother has done this on occasion when he was in college. He enjoyed it so much, he did it for his stag do last year- mismatched charity shop suits, drinking under bridges, drinking buckfast from paper bags, general blaggardistry and being a nuisance. The guards were disgusted with them.

Personally... I don't get the appeal, but apparently it's great craic :P

the evasion_kid

Did it in the states for a while minus the begging,when funds got low I'd fill up an empty platic bottle with water and salt make a hole in the top ,make my way to the nearest coca cola vending machine and squirt it through the coin slot....voila free money and product

Looks a good read.

I can see a certain appeal in it. I always say the travellers were onto something wonderful, if only they didn't have so many children.

The joys of the benches at Trinity, drinking a bottle of wine. When I didn't even go there mind.

I did it in company so that's acceptable, right?

Cody montana

When I left my job in London after 4 years I went on a week long bender.
Ended up one day in Soho, sitting on a step drinking cans, begging and singing.
Oh the shame.
