Strangest place you've fallen asleep?

[Seagull Steve]

In the front row of a Motorhead gig at Worthing Assembly hall. Apparently Lemmy sang half of Iron horse, with a foot on my head. But I was too pissed to notice.

A bench on Preston Park Station after we'd avoided relegation against Stockport County. I have to admit it was after a few Guinnesses and Cavas. I got back to PP just after (I think) the 11 minutes past had gone, so had a half hour wait for the next train to Haywards Heath. Feeling a little tired and emotional, shall we say, I decided to have a rest, and fell asleep shortly after sitting on the bench. I think I missed at least two further trains (fortunately my Old Man had told me to call him when I got to HH, rather than meeting a pre-arranged train. Not that outlandish I admit, but I have dined out on the story for quite a while, including in a Best Man's speech for my best mate.

In a janitors cupboard at Butlins Skegness. Pissed when i arrived and didnt know where my chalet was in the morning, what made matters worse was that i knew the first name of the girl who booked the trip but not her surname making it a real mission to actually find where i was staying.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

On a handcart that was parked up in a sidestreet off St James's Street, Brighton. Fortunately, I was with some mates who wheeled me back home to Burlington Street.

[Hillian1]

In my parents bath, fully suited and booted with about 6 inches of water in the bath.

There was rather strangely an entire packet of liquorice allsorts in the bath with me, I have no idea why the sweets were there or how I got into the bath and have no recollection of the previous evening at my then Football Clubs End of season awards but was never picked again by the team.

On the way back from a Night Club in Swanley (de ja vu) i think it was called i fell asleep underneath the Road side signs as it was pissing down with rain, the scary thing was i was walking along a motorway pissed as a fart. What a complete idiot i was

 

[pasty]

Many, many moons ago, sat on a dance podium in The Honeyclub. In mitigating circumstances I was extremely *tired*

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Fell asleep on a bench down some alley while at Bennacasim festival, Spain. Got way too f***ed on booze and other naughty substances and by midnight I had wondered away from the arena, chucked my guts up and thought a bench would be a good sleeping spot. Woke up 4 hours later, completely confused as to where I was. Weird thing is, I had a small bag on me with my phone, money and party accessories in it. All my party accessories had gone but my money etc was all still there...no idea where they went Either way, picked myself up and wondered back. No idea what happened in that 4 hour gap.

My friends left me....for my own safety, under a airport fire engine at RAF Luqa in Malta ...why they thought I would be safe there is totally beyond me......also woke up in a drainage ditch somewhere between Singapore City and Sembawang, that scared the shit out of me when I woke up....

 

[British Bulldog]

I had a couple of hours sleep in a wooden shed at the side of a railway track one night during a very long and boring night shift doing my flagman duties, It wasn't until I woke up I remembered my pack of explosive detonators we used to use was in my kit bag I'd been using as a pillow.

There's already a couple of gig ones but mine was in 1981 at the 'Monsters of Rock' at Castle Donnington. Had travelled up the night before to Derby station and then because some pratt had said the venue was only about a short walk down the road. 7.5 miles later we arrived at about 4am and crashed out next to a marquee. It was August so we didn't have sleeping bags, just a couple fo dustbin liners in cased it rained. Turned out to be a merchandising tent which opened at 7. Got into the venue, grabbed a bale of straw and fell asleep for a short while. Unfortunately, those that know the venue know it is under the flight path of East Midlands airport with the planes only a couple of thousand feet up when they pass over!!! Gig started with More (absolute crap), then Blackfoot, a sort of poor mans Lynryd Skynryd, and then Slade on the comeback trail who were brilliant foot stomping. Then came Blue Oyster Cult. Dull or what. In the middle of the 60,000 crowd, my mate and I both sunk to our haunches, cross legged and fell asleep! Next came Whitesnake and finally AC/DC. Bus to Derby, last train back to London and got there before the underground opened. Can't remember which station but slept on the steps next to the sliding grill waiting for the station to open. However, worse was to come when, whilst waiting for a connection to H/H, fell asleep in the waiting room on East Croydon station. The seats were the moulded plastic type that you normally stack but I was stretched out lengthways across about 4 chairs. Finally, when I got home I fell asleep in front of the television but I was told later that I was sitting there asleep but with my eyes wide open. From this experience, the one piece of advice I give is that if you get the opportunity to see Blue Oyster Cult, don't.....

Sadly I have a record for getting drunk and falling asleep.

In my younger (late teens) days I would fall asleep on the same bench in Queens Park Caterham and my Dad would wake me up when talking the dog (Fozzie, yes after Steve) for his morning walk and then take me home.

I think the worst one was after a beano in Brighton, fell asleep on the train with a bag of chips on my lap and woke up at Victoria with a fat / grease stain on my trousers, I was meant to get off at Redhill. The ticket guard at Victoria laughed at me and said that it was the second time that night I had been to Victoria! He kindly woke me at Redhill where I was late for a dinner party with my then girl friend, suprisingly we didn't last long together after that, can never understand women......

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

In a former girlfriends back garden naked,having made a very quick escape out of her window when her parents came home early from a night out.We were both very drunk and stoned,she was supposed to have thrown my clothes out for me but, while pretending to fall asleep to fool her Mum and Dad, actually crashed out.I wrapped myself in a couple of damp towels that had been left on the washing line,woke up freezing cold with a thundering hang-over,broke back in through her bedroom window only to fall arse over head and wake the whole house up.Her Dad came in and slung me out.I was 16 at the time,needless to say the relationship didn't last.

When you say you fell asleep in your girlfriends back garden, I take it you mean the one with flowers and bushes rather than her naughty back garden.
Oh alcohol, your a cruel mistress, but why do we love you so.

Just remembered being asleep on the terrace for the first half at Cambridge....missed both the goals in a 1-1 draw.....serves me right for travelling with the nellie peck crew..

[Lush]

In the middle of Westfield on one of their comfy ambient seating arrangements. Not pissed, just tired. It's quite soothing, that kind of white noise/chat you get from a shopping centre. 30 minute nap and was ready to get back to shopping.
