    So you ll pay for british bottom feeders but not irish bottom feeders.:D Solid logic

    Have you seen the programmes on the British bottom feeders? They get a pittance compared to here. It's a subject that the media wont touch here, unlike every other country!

    Looking forward to blowing the thousands I'll have saved here during the lockdown, which will be half a year away minimums, blowing it in Vegas !

    Ignoring the fact for a minute that most of these people are oxygen thieves and the country would be a better place without them. I have been at home with 2 young kids for 8 weeks now due to covid19. Why anyone would set themselves up for a life stuck at home with kids all day in their PJs is something I'll never understand.

    sure they are kids themselves really when you think about it, so its just like hanging out with your mates all day.

    Cap dole at 55 euro per week.

    Social housing should be set at market rental rates, and non working recipients could work off the rent at minimum wage pay for Community Service work.

    To each according to their need.
    From each according to their ability.

    Funny how Irish lefties forget the second line in that mantra.

    We as a nation are apparently set on making sure that all people are equal with our social conscience and funding everything for these people with no social conscience. We should do more to motivate them to provide for themselves. I have had potential employees sent to me by social services who told me that they had no intention of getting a job but were obliged to attend interviews to maintain the social security payments

    I would suspect the way you parent your kids and they parent their kids are vastly different.
    Load up on heavy medication at bedtime, have a sleep in the next morning, get yourself up for about 9:30, while your children have been up since 7 feeding themselves watching telly and playing on the iPad santy brought when they were 3, throw a pre made pancake into the microwave at lunch time and feed it to them in front of the telly while you’re all still in your pjs. Feed plenty of treats throughout the day while stuffing your own face with said treats. Throw waffles and chicken nuggets into the oven in the afternoon if you’re feeling productive and if not, take a trip to the chip shop for the second time this week. More treats and chocolate bread for tea, send them to bed in the pjs they were wearing all night, all day and only taken off to put pull up pants on the 5 year old because you can’t be bothered potty training him for night time.

    My friend has been telling me about her neighbour who is a single mother of two children with a coke habit and the school the children are at deliver breakfast for her children every morning and they open the door because she is in bed, she has a job in local government but is constantly off work having understandably health issues and Tusla are constantly calling


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭LuasSimon


    Watched 3 women in pyjamas getting their breakfast roll at the deli in the local shop about 11 this morning , all members of the traveller community . They seem to be specialists in giving two fingers to society . Their males don’t tend to wear pyjamas, normally tracksuits when their getting their breakfast rolls . Do any travellers work ?

    What does that have to do with the thread title?

    She is living off the system getting benefits including 1200 HAP payment every month and she can’t be arsed to get up in the morning to feed the children, surely relevant?

    You never said that in your original post. How are we supposed to know?

    And again, does she live in social housing and stand outside in her pyjamas, or does she live in private rented accommodation and have a job?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭LuasSimon


    Many people get jobs ultimately to provide for themselves and their family’s and end up buying a house for 2-400K . Let’s call it 300K average .
    You have to save for this and then get a mortgage for 25-30 years , break your chops to pay it back over your working life??

    Or else don’t bother working and get the government to worry about the cost of housing you and Moan like fcuk if they don’t sort you out .

    Hard to know why people in modest employment bother at all

    They should just wear jeans and a shirt to bed, that way they could walk around all day every day in their bedclothes and nobody would be any the wiser.

    I know lot of working people who put on their pyjamas on a Friday evening after work, and don't get dressed in outdoor clothes again until they have to go to work on Monday.

    You know things are starting to revert to normal when the social housing / welfare bashing threads are starting to resurface.

    How does your friend know about the health issues and how does she know its TUSLA staff calling to the house ?
    Do they have a van marked TUSLA ?

    Serious deja-vu seeing you show up in yet another of these threads along with PC personified to call it "bashing". Its hardly bashing to expect able people to not live their lives on the dole and to show a good example for the kids they choose to bring into the world. I don't agree with some of the more caustic things that have been said on here but there is a problem with this and you can't just dismiss it by calling it bashing.

    She’s living in private rental and has a job but seems to be off sick constantly and has to get sick dole because she is a civil servant and they apparently only get so many sick days in any twelve months. Indeed she rarely dresses and has been known to even bring her bin out in her bra and knickers. Her language is foul and her neighbours are terrified of letting their kids near her

    Sounds like she is mentally unwell/unstable which is a whole different kettle of fish.

    So the taxpayer enables her habit and her behaviour and she lives happily in the knowledge that somebody will pick up the tab

    I don’t believe anyone said they do.

    Enjoy the rest of your day off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,388 ✭✭✭NSAman


    Oh fer gawds sake. PJ's are fine around the house, PJ's are fine when self isolating.

    It is 9.45 am I am at my desk in my undies, drinking tea and eating breakfast having spent an hour or more working.

    Would I go out to the shops like this? Errr... NO! (I wouldn't want to give the slummy mummy brigade a little excitement)


  • Registered Users Posts: 590 ✭✭✭Paulownia

    I could say the same about you, showing up on one of these threads with the same old attitude.

    Yep, things are definitely reverting back to normal.
