» Tramps

This isn't hilarious.
Brighton has a lot of homeless people. It's not usually the best plan to give them money as you're maybe feeding an addiction and, to my mind, that fiver might just be the one that kills them. These people don't want to die, they don't want to live on the streets and they don't get an awful lot of choice in the matter due to there being not enough money or people or time to help them. However, their addiction (should they have one) is THEIR RESPONSIBILITY, not yours. Don't feed that, feed them.

Here's a list of things you can feed to a tramp without them coming to any harm.

TIME
Time is fantastic if you have some. Ask how they're doing, sit down and have a chat. Educate yourself beforehand about local night shelters and where soup kitchens, showers and cheap breakfasts can be had so you can tell them where they can go to if they're looking a bit lost.
Remember, tramps are people and think how you'd feel if people ignored you all day except maybe to spit at you or hurl insults. The street is a lonely place. Make their day and have a chat with them.

PHONE CREDIT
Yours. If you have free minutes and you're not using them all up, you could let them use your phone to call someone they know for a chat. There's one woman who I always chat to when passing and she always wants to call her mother.

SOCKS
HATS
SCARVES
SLEEPING BAGS
CARDBOARD
The above are required for all seasons, weather and night temperatures are not predictable.

FOOD
HOT DRINKS
COLD DRINKS
Ok, you might not have much time but if you want to give them things to eat - ASK THEM FIRST - you have no idea about allergies, diabetes, illnesses that you might make worse by trying to shovel a caramel doughnut and coffee with 8 sugars down their throat. Maybe they have a dairy allergy. Be careful with what you actually give a tramp to eat.

NOT ALL TRAMPS ARE NICE AND KINDLY PEOPLE, A MINORITY ARE SO BLIGHTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS AND HATE THAT THEY COULD BE ABUSIVE OR UNGRATEFUL TO YOU. Don't take it to heart, it's nothing personal and you're not obliged to be nice, just move on. You did your best.

If you have spare money, give it to Crisis or Shelter (or whatever the homeless/housing charities are in your country) as this is where it will be used properly for the help of the homeless.

edit/ And if you have spare time then you could use it to volunteer to help jammydodger respray his clapped out Honda Accords in his Garage of Lies. in a homeless shelter.

To clarify, I didn't make this post to be smug or self-satified. I just realise that not everybody has all the time in the world to be able to help in the best ways possible. Just trying to offer some ideas on how to make someone's day mildly brighter.

» Mini Cabs From Hell

Not so much from hell....as accidentally giving them hell.
On the way into town from my naffy village you can see the next village from the road on the way in. We had called a cab as we were too drunk to manage a bus to the pub.
It was around xmas time and a few ghastly people had decided to Americanise (for want of better wording) their houses with vile lighting and glowing reindeers.
We pointed out one such monstrosity to the cabbie as we drove over the hill 'Who the hell would do that to their house.. it looks hideous', we shouted while cackling with laughter.
Cabbie pulls over..says 'get out'
We say 'why?'
He says'It's my house and me and the wife happen to like it'

» Stuff You've Overheard

From a shared house
I used to stay in a three storey house, the basement was living room/kitchen, the next floor had the room I was in, bathroom and this poor geezers bedroom, top floor more bedrooms.
Anyhow, this unfortunate geezer was a bit like Neil from the Young Ones. Vegan, long hair, animal rights, and also having the room next to the front door, the person who got EVERYONE's stuff dumped in his room 'til later'.
One night he actually pulled a girl. This was a one off never again to be seen moment. I was in my room watching tv, and I could hear our housemates plus cronies on the stairs whispering (all were drunk so more like shouting)

"You open the door, you shout OI and I throw this yogurt at them"

then

"NO, I open the door, you shout OI and you throw the yogurt"

and so forth. I was intrigued, so poked head out of the door as hoping they weren't about to attack me. Three very drunken punks outside tiptoeing along the hall to Jason's room.
The shouting from in there was priceless.
"You utter bastards, I never ever ever get a girlfriend and now you have covered my room in yogurt and I'm vegan and i can't sleep on a lactose pillow."
Needless to say, the girl was a vegan too and mortally offended.

» Best Graffiti Ever

Sadly it has gone now, so no photos.
Some militant feminist type in Brighton had sprayed, "Dead men don't rape" on a wall. Underneath this some bright spark added, "Dead lesbians don't stencil"
