Guest Bilo Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 If you want to know public opinion on the issue of homelessness, just ask the man on the street.
Guest MattP Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Why did the tramp cross the road?To get to the other Cider.
Guest Bilo Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Somebody send this thread to Shelter, they'll be pissing themselves.
glenny_fox Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 I dedicate my life to fighting poverty! I punched a tramp this morning
Mike Oxlong Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 The well known 1980s pop sensation, Paul Young, came up with a cheap and effective cure for homelessness. He bought a hat.
separator Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Just met a beautiful homeless woman and asked her if I could take her home. The smile was wiped off her face when I walked off with her cardboard box.
Stadt Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Try telling an agoraphobic homeless person to think outside the box.
Rincewind Posted 14 August 2013 Author Posted 14 August 2013 They are going to get a bit of stick on our raDNO show tomorrow. I've stopped reading the replies to this thread. Just seen Scotland take the lead against England. Maybe those coming back have a chance even if they did lose all their matches. Those sponsoring have had their businesses in the spotlight for a fortnight which some will also think is good.

Rincewind Posted 14 August 2013 Author Posted 14 August 2013 I don't think they'd be eligible to play - it's a home game. I thought Matt or Moose would be first with that one. Well done. You've out-wit-ted them. To hear a summary of their performance click here tomorrow 12-4pm Well probably 3-4 but the rest will be fun too.
Guest MattP Posted 14 August 2013 Posted 14 August 2013 I was going to tell you to contact the sweaties manager, he'll have a raft of talent to pick from if he has a wander around Trafalgar Square tonight.
Rincewind Posted 15 August 2013 Author Posted 15 August 2013 I believe the performances have improved. We were looking at it today on raDNO. There was also a 20 minute slot on Talksport. Interviews with players and background to the history of the tournament. As far as I am aware the presenters never once made a stereotype joke about the homeless or spoke about the players in a demeaning manner. They beay Wales 6=1

Glad they improved, they couldn't get any worse. Do you think it would have been better that instead of investing all the money in this they should have just used it to build a big house for them all to live in?
Rincewind Posted 15 August 2013 Author Posted 15 August 2013 You're not serious are you? A Scotsman and an Austriam came up with the idea in 2003 at a conferance for homelessness. Their aim was to raise awareness and dispell myrhs and stereotyping. They have helped hundreds if not thousamds of people turn their lives around and go on to contribute to society. Is this not better than bunging them in one house and then forgetting and ignoring them? As I posted earlier the backers and sponsors have had their name spotlighted. If it was bad for their business would they carry on doing it?
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 Alan Brazil did make a couple. Glad they improved, they couldn't get any worse. Do you think it would have been better that instead of investing all the money in this they should have just used it to build a big house for them all to live in? Too many teams would lose there best players. I actually watched this when it was in Melbourne, a mate and I used to eat our lunch down there used to really piss off the players smelling a nice roast chicken sandwich whaft over the pitch.
Mike Oxlong Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 What do the winners of this tournament get - is it a contract with the LCFC development squad or a new cardboard box with a dog on a string ?
Rincewind Posted 16 August 2013 Author Posted 16 August 2013 It's not the winning it's the taking part. They are all winners. Noy seen Englands results today.
Guest MattP Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 It's not the winning it's the taking part. They are all winners. Noy seen Englands results today. As lovely as that sounds, that's not really true is it?
Rincewind Posted 16 August 2013 Author Posted 16 August 2013 As lovely as that sounds, that's not really true is it? It depends on the context. I see whay you mean though
Charl91 Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 It's not the winning it's the taking part. They are all winners. Noy seen Englands results today. That's what I say to people when I just beat them at something
cambridgefox Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 As lovely as that sounds, that's not really true is it?He meant they are all winos.
cambridgefox Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 What I find odd is why do homeless people drink lager called " Tennants"
Rincewind Posted 16 August 2013 Author Posted 16 August 2013 They do? Results Quauter finals next I keep seeing posts saying homeless people should do somethong for themselves and when they do they are still regarded as scum. I thought football fans would be pleased that they are using the sport to change their lives around. I was obviously wrong.

Ken,I don't think anybody really thinks like that,I think most of us on here are fairly light hearted but are always looking for that laugh out loud moment .i know I am and fail!Yes it's easy pickings for a laugh and it might be different in Leicester,but in Cambridge for every decent homeless person,polite and just falling on hard times,you get the aggressive ,drugged up,drunk scaring the elderly and kids, homeless person. Might aunt is quite a thoughtful person and often sees homeless people outside where she works,with the sign" cold hungry" she BUYS them sandwiches and a hot drink.Some are grateful but loads moan and say they wanted the money.i wonder why.
