    A classmate took their own life in third year, those of us in the base tutor group attended the wake, funeral and also formed a guard of honour. Those were all equally depressing and bleak, as was the general mood in school.

    Saw a seagull lifting a half eaten burger of the street in Wallsend in North-East England, it was too big for it and it dropped half of it. A clean shaven man dressed in a suit, who was watching the whole thing from a bench, casually walked over, picked up the bit the seagull dropped, and started eating it.
    Job interview hadn't gone well? Did you try London where the streets were paved with gold next?

    Once I saw a fat, onion-shaped woman falling down the stairs of a bus, whereupon her shopping bag burst and low and behold loads of onions rolled around the floor of the bus. I howled with laughter and my ma clipped me around the ear.

    It was the 80s

    I was in an Aldi store last week. A guy in an electric wheelchair bumped into me, then told me to "get the fúck out of the way."



    When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down.

    A few years ago I did a family photo studio for a guy, his wife , son and 4 month baby boy.

    Two weeks after the guy had a car accident and died. At that point they had been in and picked their pictures and were due back that week to collect them.

    She came in the day of the accident to collect them from me. I have to say it was one of the most depressing days of my life as I cropped him out of the family picture to enlarge and frame for the coffin picture.

    Literally run, or scramble? Important distinction


    Scramble!! I've been out of the country too long. Twas definitely a scramble. She was middle-aged. Looked like all our mams collectively.

    Naked Sally sitting on the kitchen table eating an apple whilst her auntie Maura shaves her legs in the kitchen sink.

    I was set for good time with this girl.
    She stripped of and was in my double bed but on the out side.
    I says move so I can get in but she likes the out side and tells me to jump over.
    Well while I'm getting over I knee her in the eye.:(
    Sex was off and she had a black eye in the morning.:)

    At Creamfields or homelands back in 2000 ( can't remember which one ) saw a bloke on his own curled up in a ball on the ground ,
    right outside the entrance to one of the tents.
    It was bout 3 in the afternoon and he was there havin a **** while the stream of people walked around or stepped over him.
    No one batted an eyelid.

    Also standing havin a piss in one of the fellas toilet areas at cream fields the year after the above.
    A girl arrived at the pisser beside me ,lifted her skirt , pulled down her knickers and started to shoot at the pisser from 2 feet away.
    I bust my hole laughing and so did she.

    Great times :)

    I saw a young man about twenty in Sierra Leone with no legs, making his way down the road with a brick in each hand. Uplifting or depressing I cant figure it out but he adopted to his environment quite well.

    When ET walked up that ramp, with his flower, it was heard to take... even now over 30 years later. Makes a grown man cry.

    BTW.. am sat in my boxers but no shipping forecast on the radio; just some sh!te Will Smith zombie movie.

    I was in a market in romania when i was about ten with my dad. A man with some sort of bone deformity in his body was going around the market begging.. He would crawl like a spider or crab with his stomach facing the sky..People in the market place would kick his head hard to get him away and laugh and he would scream ..this went on for an hour.

    I was dating a girl who told me she didn't like oral sex. Well I told her I'd definitely change her mind on this as my prowess in that department was second to mone( in my opinion)... After ten minutes I looked up end she was eating pizza !! That was depressing!!

    3 girls , aged about 16/17 in pajamas and wearing dressing gown ( dirty grey ) , disheveled looking , over weight and smoking , and all this when they are pushing buggies , its at this point i thought " i have to get the **** out of this country " - not going to have my kids grown up around this pond life.

    I'll tell you.a story.. Harrowing and depressing it is.. a story of love, desperation and loss... By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl call: Michael they have taken you away, for you stole Trevor's porn so that you might get the horn, now a prison ship lies waiting at the bay

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we smoked till we were high
    Our love was on the wing,
    We were gonna have loads of bling.. It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

    I once witnessed a gay mate of mine smoking in his boxers while hungover with the shipping forecast on the radio in the background while he told me he hated Fibber's but he was definitely going next Friday. Beat that for miserable.

    You paint quite a picture.

    :pac:

    Was at the Rory Gallagher festival where I saw a middle aged chap trip as he entered one of the portaloos. He fell in such an awkward way that his head went right down the bowl before the door closed behind him.

    Another time I was walking behind someone, a good few metres back. Saw him stop, took a quick look around, shake his leg, and something big rolled out from under his trousers.

    When I passed by what he rolled out I realised it was poo :(
