one of the weirdest things I've ever read on here and there's been a lot of weird stuff over the years

Just think it's terrible in this day and age in a supposed civilised society and our uber soft social security system that there are still people living on the street

yes, this as well obv.

not quite that cut and dried though is it?  I could bang on for ages on this subject. but, very first and foremost, most people don't like being in the position of having to ask for help (be it from the state or elsewhere) and find it very uncomfortable and humiliating to do so.  the benefits system may be seen as 'uber soft' by many looking outside in, but the reality is there are a whole heap of hoops to jump through to get what you may be entitled to, and each time you have to do it you have to swallow a lot of pride.  Those living on the street will all have their own stories, of course, but the reality is that getting the help needed to avoid that kind of situation can actually be very difficult for a lot of people to do, especially if they don't have friends and family around them to help with the seemingly simplest of things.

No not poker degens lol but real life degens.

I do it now and again but I tend to buy them stuff rather than give them money.

Had a min cash tonight at Alea and 3 degens who had £2.50 odd between them asked for some change, I said nope but I will buy them food. So bought them a lump each at the kebab shop across the road and they were fucking delighted hehehe.

As sad as it sounds I actually feel good about myself even though I'm a bit pissed 

1. Thinly veiled brag

2. Where's my % for recommending it   Food will do

Think I'd swallow some pride and jump through a few hoops rather than starve on streets...but I suppose ur gonna have plenty of tragic stories...

Have done this a few times.

Best story Iv ever heard was Pleno1s. He walked into a Mcdonalds in the morning, pissing it down outside. 4 Tramps were sat trying to get warm out of the rain, the manager told them that theyd have to leave. Pads buys them all a breakfast and a coffee and smiles politely at the manager. Class act!

[mondatoo]

BITB, never in doubt.
