Homeless people...

A homeless guy came upto me yesterday and asked for some change, I only had a pound coin and I wasn't going to give him that.

He was nice and polite though, he was even honest enough to say that he did drink a bit.

He seemed quite pleased that I'd actually took the time to talk to him when he called me over though, I felt a bit guilty about saying no to him.

I know they're only gonna spend it on crack, but sometimes I still give 'em money cos at least that'll keep em warm. And when my mum was like 15 she ran away from home and was homeless for a while so she tried to teach me to always give them money.

I buy the big issue but generally don't give money to beggars on the street.

I always do when I have spare change... It's like I have this inability to say no to them... Also when people from different charities come to my door I also give them money...

I just ignore them.

Charity starts at home, fuck 'em all.

i give some to a local homeless chap called aggie whenever i see him.

but mostly i just cross the road

I give them money sometimes depends on my mood really, I wish I did have change yesterday because that homeless guy seemed like a nice guy.

Mate, a pound coin IS fucking change.

I selfishly needed it for my gym locker aswell though.

one of the hobos in newcastle city centre is very fat. how does that work?

What the FUCK is the fucking gym?

Okay, this is starting to annoy me now.

It's etc. Not ect.

et cetera

Not ec tetera

Okay, I shall try and remember.

Just watch the King and I and it will be hammered into your head.

Dan, why are you willing to give homeless people money but not give tips to someone who's provided you a service?

Isn't your Thatcherite/Tory ideology supposed to encourage hard work and discourage idleness? Giving a tip to a pizza delivery guy encourages him to do his job better and more efficiently, giving the homeless money has them do nothing productive.

Dan doesn't tip?

What a proper bastard.

Dan doesn't DO logic and common sense.

I tip in restaurants when I think they have done well and added value to the service of the restraunt. I don't tip takeaway delivery people, because that is their job, they've not added anything.

I have a Asda up the road from me, I can make a decent pizza myself, the pizza delivery guys aren't really adding any value or providing a convenience.

The student meal deal is £4.00 if it was £4.40 then I'd reconsider it, given the alternatives. Inflating the price with tips has negative effects in my view.
