kidtwist's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lloydy i was with lloydy the other day. he was destroying a tray of chips and mushy peas. for a homeless person he certainly eats well. i asked him what he was up to and he said that he'd been to court. so i asked him what for. he told me he set fire to a caravan in tarporley one night. by himself. i asked him why he did that. he said, "i donno, it's just what ya do innit." yeah. running around setting fire to vacant caravans in the middle of the night at the age of 28 is just one of those things that people do apparently. he only got a small fine which, like all other fines, is to be payed in installments, if he decides to pay it at all. so, in other words, he torched somebody's property and got away with it completely. when you're dealing with a homeless person, you know that they haven't really got anything to lose, so it's difficult to punish them. i keep meaning to ask him what he does when he needs to shower but i keep forgetting. he doesn't smell, at least he doesn't seem to from where i'm standing. i gotta say, he's homeless, he's got nothing, he wants nothing, but he's happier than me. that's a breakdown of capitalism for you. however, i do always see him hanging around the outdoors shops like millets and cotswolds staring through the windows at the tents, the way a fat person on a diet would stare at somebody eating a pizza. he's mental, but he makes me laugh. he's also banned from entering tesco. i asked him what he did and he told me he tried to steal a battery out of an alarm clock. 3:35 pm - 08 May 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
