    BS people work to have the lifestyle they desire. Anyhoo this is off topic. Amazing how even a troll thread becomes a dole bashing thread.

    Point stands, if the dole and free house lifestyle is so desirable it's amazing so many are in employment.

    Your point was actually why doesn't he do it.

    I'm guessing some of us feel a certain social responsibility and wouldn't be comfortable with leeching from the public. Some of us too would rather take the chance and try to make a better go of things.

    'if it's so good why don't you do it so'? Is something I'd expect to hear from someone in junior infants.

    You seem to have an strange interest in referring to junior infants. Weird.

    Just happens to be the last time I've heard those arguments being made for anything.

    Maybe we could change the topic to whether my dad could beat your dad in a car race if you prefer?

    So junior infants discuss/argue social welfare and those on it? You hang around with some strange children.
    See if you respond with stupidity expect not to be afforded the courtesy of a reasoned reply.

    I don't need, or expect a reasoned reply from someone who comes out with 'would you like a medal' and 'why don't you go away and do it so' as his their arguments.

    I never said a word about hanging around with any kind of children. Do you like reading things that don't exist? Seems like it.

    How would you know what to hear from junior infants unless you are spending time with them.
    Again say stupid stuff and expect a high brow answer, doesn't happen.

    Any time I have money I blow it on nice things, I am not content until its absolutely spent, my problem and I have to deal with it.

    Im a disaster with money, buy quality and enjoy it, since I buried a few friends who've been saving up for year's only to get ill and regret not enjoying themselves more.

    My mortgage is 157 euro a month, fortunately I had inheritance from a relation in 2003 180,000 bought a house, had 11 left over and got a small mortgage to furnish it, and decorate etc...
    I have a public sector job and love it.
    At the higher end of the scale now.

    Im lucky I can blow money save a bit, feck all mortgage.

    I dont envy the op, i slagged him off earlier but I genuinely hope he gets happiness and contentment out of his hard earned cash....

    Im here for a good time, not for everyone but I am happy enough

    As per the line you quoted "Just happens to be the last time I've heard those arguments being made for anything." most people you'll find, were in school in junior infants class at some stage. And that would be the last time most of us heard the likes of 'why don't you do it so'.

    The only person here going on about hanging around with small kids is actually you. It's little wonder actually given what you're coming out with.

    So your whinge is centred on the way I worded my comment. You seem to be getting very defensive now, did I hit a nerve?

    Nope. All I said was that your drivel was akin to what used to be said when I was a young lad in school that's all. Then you started going on about hanging around with kids.

    At least you have your dignity. People like you are respected. Hard working productive members of society.

    Sounds like a porn title.

    "Madam Bickering was have terrible trouble with her rear entrance. She called her two new neighbours, Rural & Plumb who coincidentally moved in either side of her that very same day.

    'The gap is just not wide enough' she explained over the phone. Twenty minutes later..."


    *sweating profusely*

    Excuse me. I'll have to finish this another time.

    Nice segment on Newstalk with Ivan this evening a lot of people in this thread could take note. It was about money being a taboo subject.
