I played 36 holes in a RAF command champs, then went home, got packed, went to work, got a bus to Brize Norton for an overnight flight to The Ascension Islands the same evening.
After 5 libations, I boarded the plane as was asleep before we took off.
Brilliant :D
Have you been sooooo tired you've slept somewhere strange?
 
I fell asleep standing up in The Jockey, the unofficial official pub of Gloucester Rugby after we headed over there last NYE after we'd finished at the black tie bash at the rugby club itself.

:D
 
On a wall along the side of a 400 foot drop cliff, on some greek Island. And some f*cker cut my wallet out of my pocket too. :rolleyes:

Oh and leaning against a huge speaker stack in the Heriot stud union while there was a gig on :D
 
In an Argentinian Tango show I had paid a fortune to watch in Buenos Aires.

I am like a cat though, I can sleep any place, any time.
 
One of the guys i play with used to be a Royal Marine and then a fireman.
He is always asleep - he sleeps on coaches, trains but the best was we got on a plane at Bham to fly to Faro for our golfing holiday two years ago now. It was about a 7.30 flight and we had been up since 4 but............
he was asleep in his seat inside of 5 mins of getting on the plane - spent the whole flight alseep even through drinks and food and had to be woken up with a good old shake on the tarmac at Faro. Then during the hol he even fell asleep in the irish bar but that may have been something to do with the beer :cool:
 
With my head resting on a speaker in a nightclub.

On the bonnet of a Ford Mondeo one new years eve.

On a train when I was meant to change at Reading. Woke up at Southampton station confused as to why Reading was by the sea.

Generally I can sleep anywhere, especially after a beer or 2.
 
On top of a locker in RAF Turnhouse after a night
in the big smoke, then leaning into the cockpit of a glider the next morning!


Not cool
 
One of my mates fell asleep on the train back from a night out in Luton quite a few years back. I left him on the train at our stop, Harpenden which is the next stop on the line about 6 miles. At that time the train used to go though to Brighton, it was while St Pancras was closed and the train at that time went though Kingscross. Anyway he was woken up by a BR transport policeman at Brighton and frog marched to buy a ticket as he only had one for one stop and had to wait till the next train left a 7am. Had to buy a ticket back to Harpenden as well. :D :D
 
Fallen asleep in pubs a couple of times. One of my mates fell asleep in the cubicle of the toilets in a bar in Dublin during a stag weekend. We were all so far gone we didn't notice he was missing. He awoke in the early hours with the bar locked up around him. He had to let himself out the fire escape setting the alarm off in the process.
I wish I could sleep on planes, especially long haul but for some reason I can't no matter how well oiled I get.
 
At a Tenacious D concert - beer was cheap!

Also slept through a fire on a train coming back from Liverpool, woke up and it was all a bit smokey with people shouting at me to get off the train - beer was cheap that day too!

I am rubbish and cannot sleep anywhere but a bed, I cannot even sleep on a long haul flight when I have been awake for 24 hours prior to a 10 hour flight, rubbish

Strange really cos I can't sleep now
 
I found a nice cozy outside corner of a bar in spain once, well out of the way where I guess it served drinks etc during the day. Nice comfy pillows and out of sight of everyone!

On a inflatable at the beach, floated around and burnt the tops of my feet, had suncream everywhere else!
 
fell asleep at the cinema ten minutes into the film, what a waste of £8..lol

at the wheel of the car whilst driving up the m40, the wife went mad..lol and decided it best if she drove the rest of the way.
 
In Upminster after a few libations. Thought it was the westbound platform so got on fell asleep straight away and only woken by the guard walking through. Nothing back until five the next morning and not a great place to hang around
