I gave the Romanian gypo sitting outside my supermarket a bag of plastic bottles and cans i was going to put in the recycling machine. About £4 worth. That's my good deed done for the year.Quote:

I hate those ****ers that try and cajole you into regular donating on the street, should be illegal or at very least legal to tell them to **** off.
Chuggers? They're just trying to earn a living (#redg) and is it not legal to tell 'em to fùck off over there?Quote:

Never understood why they sit by cash machines, I'm clearly there because I have no cash and no, I'm not going to give you a note when I get some!Quote:

Just one thing though...according to my annual tax return £92 has gone towards Overseas Aid....does this count as charity? I think it does which means everyone can feck right off about me not being charitable....£92 in overseas aid...Jesus fkin Christ....so every time I work I'm paying for some kid in Africa.
There's the amount that went to the Eu budget...grrrrr #brexit
I don't give much to charity. Poppy Day is the one I observe religiously.
But in my will if my wife goes first, most of my money will go to charities and cultural institutions.
Can't ever turn your back on these nutters, PSRB. That's rule one for survival in tha citay.Quote:
