Freeloading stinking hippy bastard gives up trek;

[Taff]

A man who planned to walk from Bristol to India without any money has quit, after getting as far as Calais, France.
Mark Boyle, 28, who set out four weeks ago with only T-shirts, a bandage and sandals, hoped to rely on the kindness of strangers for food and lodging.

But, because he could not speak French, people thought he was free-loading or an asylum seeker.

Fucking idiot

[Mikesmad]

Optimism isnae deid!

[John Hopkins]

Found out you can't draw the dole in France...If he really want's to do that walk, why not work his way and do washing up in cafes for his grub, anything else is just begging...John

[Juke]

He looks stoned in the pic.

Dont see what the point of his pilgrimage was.
So, he is trying to 'do away with money altogether'........well, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Dont he know that money rules the planet? Obvioulsy not............ :rolleyes:

[gollum]

ffs ....the tread title says it all :D

[Grav]

Three simple phrases would have got him by....

"Bonjour Monsieur/Madame/Mademoiselle"

"Comment allez vous?"

"Parlez vous Anglais?"

Make an effort and the natives appreciate it.

[Mitch]

Especially in France...

He sounded like a complete tit on radio 4 this morning! The presenters had a good laugh at him :D

[Grav]

Was it worth a good snigger? :D

[BigBod]

Sponging fuckin parasite! :rolleyes:

[pale rider]

he will soon be recruted into the labour party cos hes a t*at

[growl bunnie]

Yes he sounds like a complete prat but at least he was willing to try, ok he gave up because he couldnt speak french (who wants to anyway).
now he is going to walk round britain, whats going to happen when he gets to scotland and they cannot understand him or worse, the geordies? :D
All joking apart he was trying to do some-thing he believed in, do you do some-thing you believe in?

[Dougie]

Well I think fink you are all being terribly beastly to the poor chap there he is trying to change the world and convert us all to passivivity and all you can do is take the piss or belittle him. A world without money.... nows there a nice thought.

























Twat.

[Urban Terrorist]

A world without money, whats next? a world without sex? without motorbikes?



What a tosser.

[Mrs Reject]

Don't you get sick of people like that - he's 28 years old, probably had a gap year, then went to uni, tried working and didn't like it so spent another few years "travelling" to put off having to work and then decided to waste a few more years doing this.
I know a few people like that and I always want to say, "GET A JOB AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL YOU FREELOADING TWAT" :mad:

[eigerton]

he's not a hippy, a real one couldn't be arsed to get as far as dover

[STEViE]

I wonder ....


I've got to get a new rear tyre for the chop sometime soon. I'll explain to the tyre shop that I beleve in a money free society an' would like them to join me in my quest by lettin' me have the tyre for nowt. That'll work surely :rolleyes:

[bird]

I had to do a report on this twat when he went through Glastonbury's muesli belt.


We ran an office sweepstake, and I had him down for not getting any further than Southampton.

When he made it over the channel it cost me an organic yoghurt.

Organic food company boss, my arse - far as we know he sold about a dozen boxes of mouldy veg to Guardian reading tosspots...
