and the fuckers across the road roll around in £50 quid notes watching their big tv and eating convenience food.

we don't even have a house, we have to live in a shelter made out of startrite shoe boxes and empty hummous tubs

Live in a shelter made out of startrite shoe boxes....you don't know how lucky you are.

We have to EAT shoeboxes. And we have to get them off freecycle. Unlike you jammy gits.

HuckingFell · 16/04/2011 20:50

At least your shelter has startrite shoe boxes. Ours is made of Shoezone bags.

Gravel? Lucky bastards.

I hadn't got to the gravel bit yet.

We have to eat mud. And none of yer organic mud either. We have to lick it from the wheels of the stretch limos that the benefit scrounging neighbours run.

You are lucky Envy I had to knit my Teepee using organic lentils and recycled copies of the Grauniad.The dcs scavenge at the local recycling depot to furnish the house and we are into being Fregans to supply all of our dietary needs...

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah
