Well at least when you look back at this stage in life you can at least claim to have had an adventure.

I don't think it really qualifies as an adventure. Just a shitty series of events. Adventures have to be interesting or exciting or something right?

What Clock said.

Down the line you'll probably look back at it in hindsight and realize your a richer man at that moment than before. A lot of interesting things can come misfortune, and those stories are more interesting to read than something prepared and executed by the book.

A train ride that would otherwise become mundane becomes a little more humorous. And if you're speaking to us now, you still came out of it well enough and you're alive.

I have a college professor who has fond memories of sleeping under newspapers in a subway in South America.

One day, this will at the least make a great story to tell your friends, kids, grandkids, or whomever else is important to you. Hell, that sounds like an awesome story for a stand-up comedian to tell, and the sort that people wouldn't quite believe at first.

And if you tell this story to the right people in the right way, you might get laid.

I dunno, I didn't think occasionally sleeping rough was a big enough deal to constitute an adventure or whatever. It's not the first time I've ended up doing it, just first time in a new city... maybe that says more about me than anything else. I posted this because of the ridiculous series of events leading up to it.

Anyway it was pretty uninteresting. Just fucking cold and wet like you'd expect. I also met some very nice people in a mcdonalds who let me stay there for a while. Gonna leave a 5 stars on TripAdvisor :P

And if you tell this story to the right people in the right way, you might get laid.


Is that an offer, V? ;D And here I was hoping to get laid for my personality or something.

Sure. Just tell me what park bench you are sleeping on tonight and we'll meet up there.

It's not an adventure until you meet a strangely-bearded veteran hobo who adopts and teaches you some urban survivalist skills, like how to disinfect dumpster-dived pizza boxes with industrial waste and salt.

Actually I believe I have.

And thus remembering the trip,

I retract my statement.

EDIT: Yeah I forgot how terrible the British railway system is. Here in 'merica it's fucking stellar. Probably because we built them out of a true sense of Manifest Destiny, and you horrible heathens didn't have God's approval to destroy everything in your path in the name of religion!

How do "getting away with it" and "forced to pay 140" work together?

Have you ever tried walking/running as fast as a train for two hours?
You'd be dead tired most likely before half an hour was up.

Yes. It was easy. Clearly the problem here is that Halo needs to work out more.
