BBC News - Cannabis found among Newport street pot plants

[parttime crackhead]

I hadn't noticed that either, but I did know that Rhys from GLC was a local mp or some shit.

Newport's a crazy blend of incredible place and total shithole, IMHO-from-going-there-once-for-two-days anyway.

I once spent a night sleeping on the streets of Newport, in freezing January.

Didn't like it very much.

 

[jancrow]

Blimey! Thereby hangs a tale. What were you doing that for?

 

[Albion]

I fell asleep on the train to Reading from London and woke up in Newport. It was 11pm at night, I had missed the last train and funnily enough my parents weren't up for driving all the way to Wales to rescue me.

I had no money for a room at an inn so I found a secluded car park where I decided the risk of getting mugged/stabbed was fairly low compared to the rest of the city, and slept there until the train station reopened at about 6am.

Woke up slumped in a puddle, in a world of pain, feeling hypothermia setting in, at around 6:30, so I walked to the station and warmed up in the (comparatively gloriously warm) outdoors waiting room.

It was not my finest hour.

 

[jancrow]

Harsh! What an overshoot.

 

[Albion]

Could have woken up in Cardiff to be fair. I should count my lucky stars.

There's a man who's never been to Swansea.

 

[jancrow]

Or Chester.

 

[Uncle Robert]

Could have woken up in Cardiff to be fair. I should count my lucky stars.

Was it the end of a day involving some kind of intoxication or are you one of those (un)lucky people who can sleep on transport with ease?

 

[Albion]

I had been up the two previous days on 6-APB. So yeah it was drug related.

 

[jancrow]

Dammit they'd never sell another pellet if they listed that in the side effects.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Not even in Newport.
