Lol. I was fed jam sandwiches in primary school. By the time lunch came around the bread would be soggy and purple, not very appealing. Anyway my parents sold an upright piano and when the buyer came, it was shifted away from the wall and an avalanche of mouldy sandwiches spilled out from behind it!

Gerard a gentleman and tasty out. Couldnt reccomend him enough to the auld fella here but he ended up going with a fella only one step outta the camp in the end as a particular lad locally got him "hed be a good judge of a fella" he says. All well and good and he going around panicking and fretting afterwards wed keep having visitors around the place. Weve no exact location where the powerwasher is at present however its fucked in a ditch somewhere apparently where nobody not even us can find it. Absolute slobbering and bolloxing cant wait to get on a plane and leave all that **** behind me for good hopefully.

The paint only peels off the zinc anyway, its alljust a waste of time and money and pollution after.

you’re wrong there. I have met many a different child where life circumstances are close to impossible.

I have seen a mother outside primary school buttering bread and handing it into her children through the gates of the school because if the loaf was at home- her partner would have it gone and off to the pub with him.

while in the uk, I used to buy a 9yo breakfast every morning in the canteen- one day I was out and he came running into the classroom looking to buy me breakfast- he had found a £2. The teacher in my place said why don’t you buy it tomorrow- the response- lads like me don’t get to keep £2 long. Either a bully would take it or the parent.

I’ve witnessed children with single mothers so depressed that the child is the parent,

And I have multiple accounts like that or worse.

you can say state bodies to intervene but animal welfare will take a dog out of a house with bad conditions before child welfare would take a child.

Very rare to hear of kids being taken off parents now, too much paperwork and hurdles to jump through.

Very true night . I've heard multiples of them same stories and conditions that families and kids find themselves in. It always causes me great distress to hear that the most vulnerable in our society's are sooo neglected. I think back to when my wife started out In an inner city school. The teachers were saints packing up the bits of leftover foods( and buying bits themselves sometimes) . And giving them to the most vulnerable kids who the knew wouldn't get anything else until they returned to school the next morning

I think we are both saying the same thing actually. The parents need to be dealt with instead of constantly spoiling them with handouts. A man that won't feed his family and just go to the pub is a sick man and should not have any right to have children until he straightens himself out.

I've travelled the world and being to very poor countries. The survival instinct of human beings is a sight to behold. Most of us will just do what it takes. But sure if someone else will do it for these people why should they bother their own holes.

The survival instinct goes out the window with substance abuse which is nearly always the problem

you make it sound like a choice- many an undiagnosed mental disorder goes unchecked.

Our powers that be put very little effort into solving problems to the point that these charities have to be created.

Finland is deemed as the best education system in the world and every child under 18 gets free school meals and I think even some get them at weekend.

Ya well, substance abuse begins with a choice. I know an alcoholic that had her family taken. Horrific scene but the children are better off now.

Spot on

And there is the biggest unspoken about virus ripping through the country but sure its suits the narrative to focus on immigration,housing & left wing ideology etc taking centre stage.

Someone was telling me of a team told to stay off alcohol during the season , they went on cocaine instead. No one being tested for it. Don't be thinking it's just down and outs that are taking it, it's everywhere

Yes I agree. Address the cause is what I'm saying. Some people need a serious kick up the arse. I lived and worked with guys in the city for years that would only work 20 hours a week because they would lose their benefits. The system is too generous to these people and they need to be protected from themselves. The single mother scam is another joke. Taking from the genuine cases. Social workers have some sh1t to put up with. My sister works with alot of those people and they are viscious fighting for handouts all the time.

There is a lot of house holds in Ireland with a functional alcoholic and makes money tight for the wife to run a family on, the fellow who goes to the pub every night drinks 4 or 5 pints each night after work and 7 or 8 on the weekends and smokes about 30 fags every day, one income coming in money is always tight, with the rise in the cost of living in the last number of years it’s getting harder, know a lot of these lads local and went to school with some of them.

Another thing I've learnt is dont give cash as a birthday present to these kids as they'll never see it. Smyths voucher or whatever.

According to Virgin 2 there's plenty money around for only fans. I'd nearly start off an account myself. 250k a month like.
