Living off the land 100%

[The39thStep]

I have never tried to deny my alcohol addiction. I am one of those annoying 'functioning alcoholics' who manage very well despite it. I enjoy it. It takes the nasty edge off life and enables me to gain much more pleasure and freedom from everything.

You want a house? Fair enough - you pay for your house, but you never try and judge anyone else for choosing not to be a fucking slave to the system just because they weren't born into money. I do not know anyone in this World who has managed to get on the property ladder without a little help from parents, or family. Nobody, and I know many high earning people.

I got a mortgage and bought my first house with no assistance.It was tough, then I got divorced and never got anything back from its later sale.Rented for years then I bought another with my second wife and again it was tough but it can be done . I know quite a few who have done the same. Perhaps you need to meet more people Stan on the other hand you dont find many of them who are always in bars.

We're all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars

And others are foraging for recyclable fag ends

Stanley there's a little island called Culatra you should visit. Near Olhao.

Not a key area for bohemian rabble, dope adddled philosophers and gullible rich studenty types

If you reread Stan's contributions you'll find he's lived in many houses. But never for long.

Glad you made it south Stan. I'm gonna be in Portugal for a couple of weeks in 5 days! Will I fuck be hiking 50km a day! Hahaha

Stanley swooped down like a lame wolf on the fold...

His rucksack was gleaming with lager and mold.
And his dinner was made of the fish from the sea.
And All of his cannabis, well he got it for free.

Stan should go to Morocco. Plenty of cannabis to be foraged there.

Nah, don't want Stan to end up in a Midnight Express situation.

He could swan about sketching gulenists

 

[ViolentPanda]

you are iggy pop and i claim my $5

Not enough abdominal scarring from vicious self-assaults with microphone stands, to be fair.

And he was always complaining about his ungrateful housemates.

Plenty of coppers to sell it to you, too.

Of course, they then nick you if you don't cross their palms with extra cash!

Guests, like fish, begin to stink on the third day.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Faro.

I am fucked. That beer I was drinking all day long yesterday turned out to be 7% Vol IPA. Portimao started to stink. A very strange sulphurous smell rising from the drains, and then drifting in from the sea across the entire town. I couldn't stomach it, so started a midnight hike across the bridge.

Woke at about 7AM in a sand bunker on a golf course

I like Faro so far (haven't been here long - small place, but happening enough).

Think I will just work the morning and move on. Nice enough place, but not that nice.

Seriously need to sleep.

Perhaps you need a decent amount if food and rest? If you're walking long distances every day your body is not getting enough time to repair and refresh itself. And the heavy drinking won't help.

Yes, yes, yes

My holiday. I do what the fuck I want to do

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Think I may forage a kebab. Sick to death of figs. There is a train to Tavira also.

Should I give it all up now?

 

[equationgirl]

Sulphurous smell could be sewage plant, decaying seaweed or sulphur spa springs, which I believe may be in that part of the algarve.

 

[equationgirl]

Yes, yes, yes

Since when is this hike a holiday???

Yes, your body needs a rest.


Sounds like your holiday was not all that great, to be honest. Apart from the watch, of course.

It has been absolutely fucking fantastic

So far...

First rain drops this evening. I need to find a dry bed.

You can't give up something you never started.

 

[lazythursday]

But Stan it's only 31km, that's barely even warming up. How could you even think of getting the train?

Because he knows exactly what reaction it will bring out here
