There is a rich persong among us..

AckwelFoley

In a PI thread that im not linking to.. but is there, an individual that had over 1K month mortgage and among other financial issues was looking for advice.

Some anonymous boardsie sent a cheque to the OP to pay for the mortgage for a month!

Heartwarming imo.

biko

Fair play rich boardsie.

livvy

should rename the thread to: There is a rich and generous person amongst us ... there are probably lots of rich but maybe none as generous !

banshee_bones

wow ... that is really admirable!

Well done rich boardsie!

That's all a bit mad! Hope the OP was genuine !

Some truly amazing people out there. Who needs a god when people like this have such big hearts?

Genghiz Cohen

Wow.
That really makes me reconsider my dismal outlook on humanity.
Good stuff Boardsi€!

That rich boardsie is a god. I am in awe of them. They are brilliant and because of their existence on this planet we are all better for our lives.

Enough to get a tenner off them??

monkeyfudge

Aren't you supposed to teach people to fish instead of giving them fish?

Something about fish anyway....

Probably the Bank Of Ireland tiger robbers trying to get rid of their loot before the ones in custody squeal on them !

You know what gets rid of richers. Burning lower case T's.

Stercus Accidit

Oh shucks, ye caught me.

It was me, on my alternate account, I'm not that generous really, I lend loads of people money, then charge huge interest and break their thumbs if they don't pay.

Allways nice to be appreciated though, thanks lads

P.C.

Give someone a fish, and you feed them for a day,
teach someone how to use the internet, and they wont bother you for weeks.

give a man a fish he eats for a day, give him a fishing rod he eats for life.

I wonder how long before someone starts a thread about the newest scam from some other country thats catching on here? I imagine the nigerians/romanians will be blamed.
Did the person post a pic of themselves with hands outstretched or better still a kitten crying to get more sympathy?

Sent them a cheque for 10,000, but wants them to wire back 9,000 of their own money...

I agree, I thought we were going to lynch a banker:)

I read that thread, I didn't buy the stry at all, but I don't think you're allowed say that on PI. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Capt'n Midnight

give a man a fish and you feed him for a day
teach a man to fish and your customer now becomes a competitor :mad:


that's a bit random all right , the cynic in me thinks it's conscience money

but maybe it's someone trying to pass it forward or repaying a debt or banking up some karma

Mahatma coat

idiotic,

what happens next month when that person still cant pay their mortgage?

another beggin letter to another board.

Pathetic.

You're living in a modern world, not the fúcking stone ages.

and if you ever had financial trouble you'd only know how beneficial it is to have a month free of worry while you try and sort something so please..stfu.

Is this true then?

Seems all a bit .. fishy.

AnonoBoy

Is this true or did the person just create a feel good story on PI to help cheer people up and make people on boards feel all warm and fuzzy?

Was going to make a similar point, if not a little less analagously.

So basically (without reading the thread) somebody spent beyond their means (a rarity in Ireland these days, perhaps why Rich Boardsie chose to help?) and was rewarded for it?

The best & the worst of boards(ies) all in one thread.

Yet I still can't hope that some of the cynical misery guts on here find themselves in the sh*t some day & wishing some kind soul would give them a helping hand.

Look, I'm very much in favour of charity and helping out your fellow man, but basically all that has happened here is a postponment of the inevitable. Unless the boards benefactor is going to bank roll this person for the foreseeable future, their problems have not gone away and chances are that in a month's time they will be in exactly the same predicament. If you think that makes me a cynical misery guts then fair enough.

Thank for wishing financial misery on me though, very heartwarming.

Your lack, sorry,your posts lack of humanity is matched by your lack of attention to detail.
I said I couldn't wish it on anyone.

Chances are just as good that the act of kindness could buy the helped person enough time to re-organise their situation. It has cost the rest of us nothing, yet some still want to piss all over it. Sad.

Fair enough, you implied that you wanted to wish financial hardship on me but couldn't because you're too good a person - three cheers for you!

I'm not going to get into some internet row over this, I don't agree with this, and thus I believe the gift of €1,000, while undoubtedly well-intentioned, could have been put to far better use.
