Talking Big Issue seller in town today.....

How bl00dy annoying was she?

Foreign pursuasion (not that this matters, but I have to set the scene).....

Her accent was VERY annoying.....

"Beeeg EEEEESSSHHHHHHHHHHHoooooooooo"........


Sounded like she'd been fitted with a dump valve!!

No wonder nobody went near her. The "sshhhh" sound was causing dogs to whimper!!!

Another reason for not buying that awful rag.

didn't sound like she had a load of snot in her nose

Sounded more like the automatic doors in Star Trek, but with a pneumatic ram attached!!

I find the way to deal with them is if they ask you directly, just say no think you, but good luck. The ones in Northampton seem to appreciate that and wish you a good day.

Obviously we have a better class of homeless person here!

We have an asian chappy selling them in Tellins who adapts the tunes of famous songs and sings Beeeg Eeeeshuuu to the tune
I wont buy off him because he just seems TOO happy I do buy of the ones who look like they'll spend my cash on smack for some reason though

I make a point of giving these guys a couple of quid to put in their pockets when I see them.

Some of the things that have happened to me in my life, I always think, "there but for the grace of God........."

At least theyre trying rather than sitting next to the cash machine looking sorry for themselves.

Give them a break.

As Al says, I dont give money to the homeless usually but if someone is selling the big issue I will give them some change but let them keep the mag)
