Why can't he? He could be getting more from begging than a steady job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Although it is still illegal and I wonder why the police don't move them on. Not a new idea generally. But loads of the lazy buggers turning to the idea. These are the people that think life owes them a living.  Spare change you say.  What makes you think it is ok for YOU to ask me to give you  MY money. F off I tell them, especially when I am withdrwing cash from an ATM. Cheeky Barstewards get a F#&%**# % * Job like the rest of us!  They come from feckkess parents what can you expect.  Edited November 18 by mart . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just tie your coat tails to another poster who may manage to bring me down better than you.  Go and play. ‘Bring you down better’?  Hmm, well I’m still yet  to hear a convincing argument for giving to beggars. And all you have done is basically stick your fingers in your ears when it’s explained why it’s not a good idea to give to beggars and say ‘shut up’, ‘you’re a nuisance, go away’ and ‘I will not obey’. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I decide what to do, and I do it.  Quite simple really. Or does some law say that I have to be bound by you ?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

By all means voice your opinions to you hearts content, but don't expect me to carry on a discussion with you which has now been concluded. So, in other words, you are then speaking to the forum and not to me. It's one of the very annoying traits that told me that you are harvey19.  Edited November 19 by Organgrinder 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Don't bother wondering why I do anything because I'm busy pleasing myself and not you. I'm not ranting and you are starting to look a little silly now  and you are harvey alright.  Edited November 19 by Organgrinder 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
