Bleedin Moochers !

four18

I do 2 days a week voluntry work in a free food drop in centre near Church St. This is meant to be a hot meal for homeless people on a daily basis and there is no charge. As this is community service order for a previous charge, I am familiar with the local folk who work in the nearby courts,garda stations etc.
In the last week I have seen solicitors, 2 garda, 2 court clerks and a few others from well paid jobs coming in wearing an anorak or hoodie standing in the Q for a free meal. I would love to lift them out of it and tell them to f off but its my temper that got me into truble so I cant really say anything. I would love to shame them, Any Ideas ?

Lot of people out there struggling. I presume it's the Cappuchin centre you're talking about. Couldn't see Br. Kevin minding helping anyone out. Just like the V de P.

Right, is it your job to decide who can actually avail of this service and are you receiving any assistance from the community/state yourself?

You're not the boss of me. I'll find what I like amusing, thanks very much.

Do you know all these Gardai and solicitors personally?

Do us all a favour and contact the Sunday World or some other paper with this story.

If it turns out to be true I will personally turn up to your home and bake you a cake with 'sorry' written on it.

Until then why don't you........

I believe he might be receiving some assistance which makes this thread even funnier.

I thought there was no such thing as a free lunch?

Yes It is the Cappochin Centre and I helped make up over 600 food bags today so please stop trying to make me feel small. I am doing community service and am not looking for anything from anyone, just pointing out the moochers out there. Read my OP and then reply, turn your intellengince to my advantage, Thanks

It's so funny it's pathetic, you really think we are going to believe that story?

As do I.

The OP is neglecting to inform the public that he's on social welfare and is in receipt of disability benefit yet is still able to work a few days each week handing out food.

Would make you wonder who the real "Bleedin Moochers !" are.

That's why you have a grudge against solicitors and guards. Did those bad guards arrest you for something?

In fairness, you're around since August 2010, you should know damn well what sort of response you're gonna get in AH!

You should count yourself lucky that nobody suggested you

insert typical AH response here

yet!

Not that I'm suggesting you should either ... I'd never suggest such a thing!

Well he's not actually doing voluntary work as he said at the start of this thread. He's actually doing Community Service. That's not voluntary at all, is it?

OP - How do you know that these guys are Gardai, solicitors etc.? Did they arrest you and prosecute/defend you?

If you know them personally surely they'd be a bit embarrassed meeting you in there.

Or are you just speculating wildly that these guys have good jobs?

I wanna see the proof gosh darn it!

Yes, I am on social welfare, I get rent allowance, I got into trouble in court, I got 200 hours community service, I am doing it at the above place. Did I miss anything ?

The King of Moo

Why not just casually say "Aren't you a solicitor/guard?" when you serve them?

Well at the start you claimed you were doing voluntary work.

Now unless you don't know the meaning of the word voluntary you were fibbing!

No you just were not forthcoming with all the facts, you have a grudge against solicitors guards and people who work in the courts.
Get over it, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

The King of Moo

I'm sure the guards are working undercover trying to catch the Red Ribbon serial killer.

With all due respect OP, you really don't know what are these "moochers" circumstances. They may be struggling to pay a mortgage and keep a roof over their heads. Their spouses/partners may have lost their jobs. They may be in arrears. Guards, court clerks, and solicitors could be in dire straits depending on these circumstances, despite outwardly appearing to have good incomes.

This hasn't gone as expected at all, has it four18?

Did you get free legal aid when you "got into trouble in court"?
