    Looks like The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell to me. Link.

    Blimey. You're in need of a BJ, aren't you?
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      You offering are you?

      I know a refusal might offends but I really don't require your services. Maybe you can help Darnstat. You and him have a lot in common. You could help each other.

        You should lay off those 'make me an arsehole' pills.

          Mr Cranium got it right. Actually working very hard, I was reading it on my e-book in my hotel (as its non copyright you can download it for free) and many of the statements in it seem so true today...in particular when I read some of the comments from people here and can relate them to that book.

          I had a dream about a BJ last night as well, strange that.
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Blaster, you seem prone to making huge, sweeping statements without any evidence whatsoever to back them up.

              It occurs to me that "The Japanese" (all of 127,000,000 of them) might have somewhat differing opinions on this, and any other topic.

              You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
