To have give loon tramp man £20 and a pack of baccy just so he'd stop bothering people?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

If this post works it means my dongle works (woohoo)

But really as I sat having a coffee/ fag outside the train station I just felt sad/ annoyed as he passed from person to person.

(and to those that know me / care yes my boy was there...and he gave the baccie...hehehe)

YANBU, it's your money so up to you what you do with, tho s'pose it may encourage him to beg for larger sums of money.

I've got a dongle it's shit. What network are you on ?

Well apart from your use of the word 'Loon' no, I don't think you are being unreasonable.

Was it Old Holborn or Golden Virginia?

Was your hot Argentinian lovely?
Was it all Brief Encounter???

Its your money to do what you want with, but i dont like your use of the word loon.

There for the grace of God say I, i mean you dont know whats round the corner do you?

Good for you for giving him some money.

YANBU Sounds like your hearts in the right place, nor am I phased by the word loon, I know the sort of whack job you mean.

Well i beg to differ,i just dont like the word loon.

Kerrymumbles - there for the grace of God go you so lets just hope that you or your kids or any of your loved ones become that 'loon' who irritates the 'general public' .

Redbindippers - would love you to expand on the term 'whack job' You couldn't possibly be referring to someone with mental health issues or learning disbilities as a whack job. Could you ?

Haven't we been here before?

I had the same issue with someone refering to their 'mental' kids on here, but everyone seemed to think it was ok

Good for you, I don't like it when people say they wont give homeless people cash because they'd only spend it on drink, it smacks of the victorian idea that you have to be 'deserving' in order to qualify for compassion.

I'm sure not everyone on MN posted or saw the thread you're talking about OurLady.

so he was a "loon" so you gave a bird money

It's a kind thing to do- but maybe a bit like paying those pirates a big ransom for the Chandlers? Nobody will be able to sail a yacht at main line stations now without being accosted. Or something.

"Loon tramp man" is maybe not the best term either. I am struggling for another though. Bum?

They are all some mother's son.

How much do you know about homeless people Kerrymumbles ? Apart from what you read in the Daily Wail of course? I find that if I'm as ignorant about an issue as you are, then it's actually quite empowering to educate myself. You should try it some time. The knowledge may come in useful in the future. Particularly if you or your child ever fall fall foul of alcohol, drugs or being a lazy arsed bastard of course.

You know Kerry, if they were just lazy arse bastards, I'm sure they could be lazy arse bastards in the comfort of house paid for by the state, watching lazy arse bastard daytime telly

I hope to God I'm never put in that position, but if I am I would inmagine drink and drugs would be one way to make it slightly less fucking terrifying.

Oh heck the novelty of finally being a mumsnetter is well and truly wearing off and I thought being called a violent man beater was bad !!

Oh and summat out of shameless

Aww - Brownsnow - hun - I can understand why you're leaving. It must be strange to be on a forum where narrow minded, ignorant prejudices are challenged. Do you need a hug hun ?

Sassy I am hoping there'sa dont missing from your post about KM's kids? yes?

I think what you did was kind. We can hope that he spent it on a hot meal etc and others can speculate that he spent it on drugs.

There is not enough compassion in this life.
