Rincewind Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 A homeless fella asked for a flyer from me today, all so he could have the satisfaction of throwing on the floor. I wouldn't mind but I didn't even offer it to him in the first place, I assume that joining a gym is not high on his list of priorities so it's not like I caused the scrote any nuisance. I have bought meals and cups of tea/coffee for the homeless in the past and some have been very thankful of my generosity, unfortunately for this tool, if he ever asks me to spare anything in future (I remember his face), I might take a leaf out of. MattP's book and empty my dirty petrol into his face. He certainly won't be getting a coffee that's for damn sure. Don't blame you. But they are not all like that. I would think its demoralising after a time with how they are treated. Being rejected and looked down upon can not be good for pride and self esteem/

Being rejected and looked down upon can not be good for pride and self esteem/Pride and self esteem! I would imagine that went out the window long before they ended up on the streets.
Rincewind Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Pride and self esteem! I would imagine that went out the window long before they ended up on the streets. Yes which could be one of the the reasons they ended up there.
Strokes Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Yes which could be one of the the reasons they ended up there.I would imagine the biggest reason being, they have fúcked over all friends and family to the point that they don't care whether they're dead or not. In most cases.
Rincewind Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 speaking to my new neighbour over Xmas and he said his family won't talk to him. He likes his vodka though. I went to the shop about three times in four days. 3 and half bottles. He said his brother is well off in a high paid job and his parents are doing OK but because of his drink problem have disowned him. He said he would have liked a little encouragement so he could help himself. Sometimes a kick up the backside as well as help does wonders. I don't know how a family can do this sort of thing. If your nearest relatives ignore you it does not help.

If your nearest relatives ignore you it does not help. I hear what you're saying, but he is an adult. He can make his own decisions. Granted, help and support will help anybody achieve anything. But it should not be relied upon (unless of course somebody has some sort of physical or mental disability of course).Ultimately, you are on your own in this world and you can either keep yourself busy and sort your life out or you can use a lack of support as an excuse to make it worse.
MooseBreath Posted 1 February 2014 Author Posted 1 February 2014 Where does he get the money from to buy alcohol? The tax payer, where else. Ken is bang on in that he needs a kick up the arse, in the form of his hand outs being cut so he can't afford to keep drinking until he gets a job. At which point maybe he won't want to go back to being a waster.
Rincewind Posted 1 February 2014 Posted 1 February 2014 Where does he get the money from to buy alcohol? Would not like to speculate. I believe he has had mental health and has a severe disability.

If your nearest relatives ignore you it does not help. Maybe if you speak with his family, you will get the full story. I suspect he is chosing to emit some or most of the reasons as to why he has been disowned.

If your nearest relatives ignore you it does not help. Maybe don't enable his alcoholism by going to the shops for him. I realise you want to make friends with him but you're feeding his destructive behaviour.
Rincewind Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 I only did it over Xmas. I will tell him no next time but I have not spoken to him since. He says he has spells where he doesn't drink. He seems a fairly intelligent bloke. Late 40'sex-army of around 18 years. Had problems with legs and went downhill. for one reason or another. May go through periods of depression from my guess but without getting more involved I don't know. He has support workers that would know more so I don't want to interfere. They will know best.
Vlad the Fox Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Maybe if you speak with his family, you will get the full story. I suspect he is chosing to emit some or most of the reasons as to why he has been disowned. Exactly. When that help and encouragement is thrown back in their faces time and again over a period of time it starts to wear thin. If an alcoholic won't get help not only does he destroy himself but a also those who care about them. In the end letting them go can sometimes be the best option.
Rincewind Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 White Dee's laugh made my willy fall off. Are you sure it fell off and not tugged off in excitement?
Guest MattP Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 Would not like to speculate. I believe he has had mental health and has a severe disability. You believe someone has mental health issues, a severe disability, you know he has a drink problem and you are buying multiple bottles of vodka for him?
purpleronnie Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 You believe someone has mental health issues, a severe disability, you know he has a drink problem and you are buying multiple bottles of vodka for him? Maybe it was non alcoholic vodka.
ADK Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 Maybe it was cherry vodka, at least he'd have had 1 of his 5 a day.

purpleronnie Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 40 foot sex-army? OK I surrender, just be gentle.

Guest MattP Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 Channel 5 at 9pm. Live benefits street debate featuring White Dee
Rincewind Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 Dee seems a lot different to how she came across on the Benefits Street show. 'i never thought anyone would actually watch it' I can see Dee whacking that woman next to her.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 3 February 2014 Posted 3 February 2014 That big nose woman is a real ****. Clean a toilet if you can't get a job but have a degree. Hope one day she's broke and has aids.
