Bob Weasel Fox Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 Just seen John Bishop on Red Nose Day on BBC1 regarding domestic violence, child abuse, poverty etc etc in THIS country. How very true and how very deserving of our time and money. I have seen and been involved with a lot more than most but still not as much as some. Thoughts please?
Rincewind Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 And guess where some of the victims end up? It may come as a surprise to Moose but they end up without a home and not a drop of alcohol passes their lips. It is not good good.
I am Rod Hull Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 I`d rather be poverty stricken, beaten up by my mrs and abused by my dad than watch that crap...
Kitchandro Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 Let's face it, the only reason Jessie J really shaved her head is because she finally realised that hairdos that look like wigs are shit.

Ozwin Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 Maybe I'm being a bit thick but why do these African women have so many children when they know they have HIV/AIDS?
I am Rod Hull Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 Look at all the multimillionaires on the telly telling us poor folk to give them our cash *Cringe*

The Doctor Posted 15 March 2013 Posted 15 March 2013 Maybe I'm being a bit thick but why do these African women have so many children when they know they have HIV/AIDS? Many reasons - Crazy religious ***** telling them they can't use protection & lack of safe abortion methods available being rather major reasons. Ill people need to have a shag too.

Ross-Kemp Posted 16 March 2013 Posted 16 March 2013 This rincewind chap doesn't half like a dig at other people, miserable old tart.
MooseBreath Posted 16 March 2013 Posted 16 March 2013 This rincewind chap doesn't half like a dig at other people, miserable old tart. Careful man, he'll reply to you with a single smiley face. Nothing can prepare you for the torment of being disregarded with such ice cool indifference.
Rincewind Posted 16 March 2013 Posted 16 March 2013 This rincewind chap doesn't half like a dig at other people, miserable old tart. At least I have a reason to. sometimes although it is a waste of time and effort with a couple. The majority can at least put forward constructive replies even if I do disagree with one or two.

Not from what I've seen you don't, anyone that dare question the beggars on corners you get your knickers into a twist. Also you moan about having no money or no job but I've seen you post several times where you've turned a job down or said you don't want to work, you're going to wait until the summer. I dare say you're like an older version of lamby, but at least he makes me chuckle from time to time.

I dare say you're like an older version of lamby, but at least he makes me chuckle from time to time. It is the homeless critics that I question. I am not keen on beggars. Homeless can mean sofa-surfing and in a hostel. I work with people who have at one time been homeless and they are decent people. I do not moan about money, it is that some think I am living a life of luxury on £71pw and anyone that is unemployed is likewise. I have learnt to budget accordingly. I have to respond to those accusations. Maybe I shouldn't respond and let those ignorant of the true facts get to me. I have not turned any job down. I think the one you refer to was one the job centre printed off and because of my physical situation I thought that it would be unsuitable . I now apply for anything but rarely get a reply let alone an interview. With around 50 going after each job I have little chance at my age of getting a full time job at my age as I would have to be re-trained. If you was an employer would you take someone on who was 61 and spend time re-training them? I have taken a part time job but still applying for work. At some point there may be more hours available. I enjoy it and it is something that I can do. Also I qualify for pension credits in JUly. I have paid tax and NI all my life with no break from work apart from the last 18 Months so I will apply for that rather than be on JSA meaning that I can still look for work but on my terms.
