    In Dingle for my 23rd birthday....way to drunk and walked out of the town..passed a house just being built...big pile of sand next to a cement mixer so I thought it would be a good idea to burrow into the sand and fell asleep ...it wasn't!

    The back of the OH's van. It is converted into a camper but the few times I have slept in it I feel panicky and can't breathe. I have ended up standing outside in the freezing cold in the middle of the night for air
    Other than that a ditch in Slane, Guns n Roses 1992. The bus that brought us there drove off home without everyone as someone had vandalised it on the way up.

    Back of an old Transit van at Feile '91 (?).

    Thing is, I was full of vodka and acid, driving round the town in it on the first night (Fri), cops stopped me, took it off me, let me go, took it to their pound. Having nowhere to sleep later that night, I though it was a good idea to break into the pound and sleep in the back of it. A mate thought the same. So we did. :pac::pac::pac:

    In a wardrobe. Two pillows in there tempted me. Bad idea. Back hasn't been the same since.

    Know them corrugated little huts the council use at the side of the road sometimes?
    Theres no base to them either and the surface was a footpath that was after been broken up with a kango.
    It was also winter.
    Horrible experience.

    In a train carraige when I was interrailing years ago, carraige slept 6, and I was inches from the ceiling which had a fluorescent light on it, they kept closing the window even though it was roasting (middle of summer in Eastern Europe) and the aircon wasn't working, I think I passed out more than slept.

    Stansted Airport after 24 hours of booze.
    Edinboutgh Airport for a stag where I flew in 3pm on a Saturday and got the first flight home on the Sunday.
    JFK after 6 hour stop over on the way to Mexico. 7 hour flight filled by free drink on Virgin Airways.

    I see a pattern forming!

    A&E in Beaumont Hospital on a Friday night. Delightful experience.

    Was this all on the one stag weekend ? If it was let me know when the next is.

    Me and a mate were in Galway I think it was.
    We were going to sleep in the greyhound track in the traps for dogs.
    We decided against it as we were worried we'd be stuck in them until someone else came along and pulled the lever to open them.

    Neck on the edge of a plant pot. Don't even remember going asleep.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,360 ✭✭✭Lorelli!


    In a car after Electric Picnic. We were only going for one night. Can't remember why we didn't have a tent!

    Slept in a door frame, my body in an L as my legs were up in the air against a bookcase.

    I don't remember sleeping there, but the worst place I've ever woken up was on the landing of my student halls, back in 2006, after my first Faculty Christmas Ball.

    I woke up shivering, my cheek pressed up against the concrete floor, missing my tux jacket, also missing my mobile phone, and with about 5 pounds (in small change) in my pocket. I had no keys either, and my flatmate wasn't yet home.

    So I dragged myself downstairs to Tesco, bought a chocolate bar and a carton of milk, then got a bus to my friend's dingy flat in Mile End. I spent the rest of the day vomiting, then retching, and finally fell asleep penniless, phoneless, and miserable. It was the closest my life has come to Trainspotting. This is why I don't miss student life.

    In a car in Florida in July.
    A security guard woke me up warning me about dying from dehydration as the sun heated the car.
    I still shudder at the thought of it and the hangover I had.

    Under a train carriage, in an Orange field, In an wet Irish field, on the floor of a dirty Moroccan bus on a a trans Atlas journey, in a flea ridden bed in Latin America. The flea bed was the worst because you just cant sleep with fleas.

    Slept in a absolutely wedged 12 bed hostel room before....

    Got hopelessly lost on a stag in Germany, taxi driver dropped me at the wrong hotel in the middle of nowhere. I was wrecked so I wandered into an underground car park and slept behind a car.

    When I woke, it was about four hours later and I was being hauled up to the reception of the accompanying hotel by a security guard while we waited for the police. In fairness to the police, they were really sound and even hailed me a cab once I was able to tell them the right address. Not my finest moment

    Not quite slept but I went to see a band called Gang Green in McGonagles back around 1991.
    No place to stay after gig so stood outside McDonald's on O'Connell St. until the train station opened at 6 in the morning.
    It was February, snowing and all I was wearing was a T-Shirt and a denim jacket.
    Got train to Waterford and had to walk 12 miles before someone picked me up.

    In a lift/elevator or whatever you want to call it. A hotel in Cork many moons ago. Drank lots of beer. Got in lift. Passed out in lift. Nobody gave a fcuk. Woke up a few hours later when a kind person had the decency to care about me.
