    Yeah I was in Tesco buying a few beers the other day and a nicely dressed girl around my age or maybe a year or two older than me (I'm 18), comes up to me and says "Sorry would you have a spare 5er on you?" of course I look at her as if she has about 20 heads and she just goes "sorry it's just that I need wine?".........."What?! I don't care if you need wine - earn your own 5er!"
    That just has me thinking of the Simpsons: "Come on, my last paycheck bounced. My children need wine!"

    I for one, am delighted that beggar spent his begged money on fine clothes, good grooming and elocution lessons rather than tatty heroine or the like..

    It has actually been proven by study on Brainiac (old tv show on sky one) that a well dressed person is more likely to recieve money, i.e., lost my wallet, can i have a few euro to get the bus/coffee etc, than a person who is dressed "like a skanger"

    I was once in bus aurus in dublin, and a seemingly respectable woman(well dressed, well spoken) told me she had lost her purse and could I give her 2 euro to make up the rest of her bus fare. I gave it to her. then I watched as she asked about 10 more people the same question. I told the foreign security guard to kick her out but he pretended he had no english.

    Filling station last week in Naas.

    Man approached me (Irish lad, well dressed) sorry, do you speak English?
    Says me, I do yeah?
    /produces some kinda i.d (with no photo) and says he needs a few euro for petrol to get him home to waterford.
    I say I'm at work mate, don't carry cash when I'm working.
    He asks if I've any loose change even? I say nope.

    Watch him do this to about a dozen more people in the space of ten mins.


    Then watch him drive off, in the Dublin direction.

    :confused:

    Cute hoors have just got cuter it seems.

    I dont know, id feel a bit of a loser doing that, but some people have no dignity I suppose.

    I was approached by a guy in a suit one day asking "Would I care to donate a Euro to you?" in a posh accent.

    You should have taken the euro from him :)

    I got this as well, from an itinerant. He says he and his family were stranded and needed some petrol money to get home. I looked at his 2012 Ford Transit van and just laughed and walked off
