    i mean what the bloody hell? does anyone actually buy this or even read it and what type of nonsense does it contain. plus smelly people usually sell it so its not something you want to sit down and read whilst eating your sandwhich knowing its been handled by a krusty.

    Im going to start a poll to find out how many people here have actually bought it!

    why do that when i could just throw some money in my toilet, and throw some toilet paper on my table?....seems like less effort.

    Even if anyone has bought it, i doubt they will admit it. even on the interwebs. just imahine the shame .

    A load of left-wing drivel.
    Articles by dole bums and pages of missing alcoholics.
    Usually peddled by people off thier brains on a cocktail of drink and drugs.

    Yeah i buy it every now and then. It's a piece of rubbish but at least the people selling it need the money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,063 ✭✭✭BKtje


    I have bought it once or twice :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Silenceisbliss


    oh god....the honesty is kicking in....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,121 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I slipped up and bought it once, then later realised that I was charged more than I should have been by the thieving fuckwit who sold it to me. That's what I call a "Big Issue"! :mad:

    I'd buy it now and again but only off the Irish sellers. I think its a good way to help them back on their feet, at least their not just sitting with there hands out begging...

    No, and why on Earth would I want to?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    I bought it once. It's a crap read.

    And the Romanian I bought it off tried to grab the money out of my hand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Have bought a few here and there. Can't ever remember actually reading them though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    hah! I know a guy who gave a romanian woman some money and she just walked off without giving him one :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭stevoman


    i beleive there are 2 uses for the big issue.

    1 - your out of toilet paper

    2 - your out of roach material.

    and in both cases you'd have to buy it and i still wouldnt be arsed so what the hell am i typing this for.
