It wasn’t a dig at DH , when i look back there was plenty of lads slightly older or even the same age who seemed to be on the ball when it came to music gigs clothes lifestyle like yourself , there’s more bands gigs i wish i’d of seen at the time but didn’t

Jon

hendersonjones Didn't take it as a dig. If I'd had more money I'd have gone to more gigs. Sleeping in bus stations was no fun. Takes the edge off a night if it's in the back of your mind your not making the last train home.

Flaneur Type of people who don't try too hard. Honest.

Those types of lads were ace. I call them accelerators.

Got you to the good stuff quicker. Most importantly, mindset.

Went to see Costello Royal Court Liverpool and knew I was getting the Mail train back, about `86, so even though I was young, it was in the back on my mind I wouldn t be sleeping in my bed.
Came back from Inter rail once, got as far as Leeds, but couldn t get any further, Royal Mail workers all over the platforms. I asked one if I could kip on a bench in a waiting room, he said no and then took pity on me and said go on then. I missed the first train, as I slept in, but I thought this is the last time I am doing this, unless desperate.
A mate had tickets for The Stones at Maine Rd, think it was 1990 (won in a newspaper competion) and they didn t come on for ages.
Watched an hour and my mate said, "Shall we fuck off, or sleep on the station platform".
We left, caught the train, no regrets

Flaneur

Jon Yeah, naturally cool

zico There was a train out of Newcastle that stopped at York, went through Leeds, then stopped at Doncaster. The temptation to pull the cord as we rode through Cossgates almost got the better of me once or twice.

First time we went to The Hacienda (the one where Kernit's mates wanted to stab us) we slept in a room at Victoria. Woman who worked there took pity on us. Slept by an old-fashioned iron radiator. Happy days.....

Harvest

I've kipped on plenty of stations and in waiting rooms after gigs and matches. I can still sense it now, the cold, the drifting in and out of mini sleeps, hard benches or floors, can't get comfortable, the sounds of the night, doors opening and closing, bing-bong announcements, yawning, wandering around to kill time etc

On inter rail, we kipped on the trains or in hostels, but 2 occasions spring to mind, where we arrived really late and it wasn't worth checking in until later in the morning.
San Sebastian was one, where we slept on the beach and the police turned up and were fine, just told us not to go in the sea.
Another was Verona, where we slept on the train station floor. That was particularly seedy, as there were some right scurvy customers hanging around but the Italian coppers kept coming along to make sure everything was okay.
I almost forgot after the Valencia game we slept on benches in Barcelona airport, I remember thinking I'm too old for this caper now, but the plane was leaving really early.

Jon

Can’t remember which one of the Italian games it was but one of my mates crashed on a bench in the station, woke up with two big holes where his pockets used to be.

Kipping on trains was fine but fuck that rough shit.

Fell asleep eating a pizza pissed in San Roque, Andalusia. My pockets were intact, the pizza remains were in the box on the floor but my 600 euro Mondragon mountain bike was nowhere to be seen.

I recall two nights when kipping outside just to extricate myself from the ex's furious irrational pissed up temper. The first time I walked to the A64 to hitch from York to Halifax, failed to get a lift so walked into York and kipped in a waiting room, Harvest describes the sleep very well. I missed a friend's funeral the next day because of that.

The second time was on a beach in La Linea with my little terrier looking out for me. I left the Mrs a couple of months later when our tenancy ran out.
