Oooft
The inferiority complex that he displays is off the charts, pal. We all know people in well paid jobs donât brag about it. Just like intelligent people donât brag about it, or people that come from money and so on and so forth - As always, itâs people that donât possess something that scream loudest about things they have had a small window into⌠It must be horrible to be insecure.

Do I? Youâve ruined my Christmas snowflake.
Great to see that in the season of goodwill we can uphold some bit of sanity around here
@iron_mike All I said, quite correctly, was that Ireland is not alone in these types of crises and that posters should not be making us out to be, as some screaming fannys were.
I also correctly pointed out that we have always had crisis after crisis in different areas and that itâs impossible to solve them all.
I asked for a bit of perspective from people. I stated everything should be done for people in need of help.
And out come the screaming fannys in their indignation. The same type of cunts that make a donation to charity and make sure everyone knows about it.

Thousands queue for food parcels in Dublin city centre
Number of people receiving food from Capuchin Centre will âprobably go over 3,000â
About 3,000 people, including elderly people and children, queue for Christmas food parcels at the Capuchin Centre in Dublin
Danny, an elderly man from Fairview in Dublin, will share his food parcel on Christmas Day with a neighbour who also lives alone.
âHe has a bad hip so he couldnât come here today. Iâll share mine with him,â he smiles.
Danny, who doesnât want to give his surname, is one of more than 3,000 people queueing for Christmas food parcels at the Capuchin Centre in Dublin on Thursday.
The queue, which includes elderly people and young children, began about 6am. By 9.30am it stretches from the door of the centreâs Bow Street entrance down the street, around the corner and along May Lane reaching Church Street.
Br Kevin Crowley, who runs the centre, believes the queue is âbigger than last yearâ. A number of gardaĂ, present because of the numbers, are in good humour and chatting with those queueing.
Danny explains he is on a disability pension and lives in a two-room flat, for which he pays âŹ150 a week. He is âluckyâ with his landlady who is good to him. The maximum he is permitted to pay, however, is âŹ109 a week to qualify for his âŹ74 a week rent allowance.
âI could apply for a higher rent allowance, but Iâd have to tell them how much rent Iâm really paying, and if I didnât get the increase they [Department of Social Protection] could tell me I have to leave the flat. I canât take that risk. It is a struggle.
âI come here most Wednesdays for a food parcel and that helps.â
Last Christmas the centre gave out about 2,500 Christmas parcels.
âBut this year I think it will probably go over 3,000,â says Br Kevin. âIt is shocking, but I am not surprised. What is really appalling to see is the number of children coming here, mothers with children.
âThe Government may say thereâs a recovery, but there is no recovery for the poor.â
As we speak, several people queuing call over to Br Kevin, thanking him and wishing him a merry Christmas. Two members of the public approach with donations.
Each person queuing has a ticket entitling them to two blue plastic bags of food â one of non-perishables including tea, sugar, cereals, tinned fish, tinned beans, custard, chocolates and biscuits, and one of such perishables as milk, cheese, a chicken and butter.
âWe have been giving out tickets to people since last Wednesday, who come to the centre,â explains Br Kevin.
Inside, blue bags are stacked in their thousands against walls for distribution. Among those who has just collected two bags of food is Mandy Cotter, who has travelled from Balbriggan with her baby girl.
âI was queuing about an hour. Iâm on lone parents and Iâm doing a course, so it is a struggle and if I didnât get this I would be very short. This will get us through.â
Joan Ayiro, a single mother, has come in from Tallaght. âI have one son. I am in college in the city and it is difficult. I am so grateful to get this help.â
Two other mothers, both homeless and in emergency accommodation in the Summerhill area, do not want to give their names. They will spend Christmas Day in their accommodation and want to make âat least Christmas Day specialâ for their children.
âExtremely importantâ
They have cooking facilities and say the food parcels are âextremely importantâ as it means they can get âdecent little presentsâ for their children.
âIâm not really looking forward to Christmas,â says one, explaining it is her second in emergency accommodation. âIt is just amazing to me that the Irish people are so generous and want to do something about homelessness, but itâs the Government who wonât take a stand.â
The centre will serve breakfast and lunch on Christmas Eve as usual, closing Christmas Day and reopening for breakfast and lunch on St Stephenâs Day.
âWe can do this because of the generosity of people and the volunteers,â says Br Kevin.
The centreâs annual running cost is âŹ3.3 million, of which âŹ450,000 comes from the Government.
