I once walked past a homeless man, he asked for 50p, but i ignored him. Felt a bit bad. 300 yards later, i stood in a tulipe. That's bad karma my mate said, and you know I thought he was right. So I went back to the homeless man, and punched him in the mouth!Comment

I've wondered that a few times when I've left for work and the thermometer is showing -10 or lower.
We don't seem to have so many homeless here. Perhaps that's why.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Is there somewhere they can go, do they get state aid and why has this thread been moved to Light Relief?Comment

Hmmm. While hitching round Europe I've slept on streets and parks a few times. Just in average September it's bad enough.bloggoth

And why, if they can't afford to feed themselves, do they invariably have a dog with them?Comment

We now have the tunelessly strumming one string guitar granny.
The tunelessly playing accordion woman.
A grubby twat who was playing a recorder (with a hint of a tune in there somewhere).
Where are they all coming from?Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
