I got stopped one day by someone collecting money for the homeless. I asked her was any of the money goting to lthe local area. No was the answer it was for the heroine addicts in Dublin. She said

"now, €5 a week is not a lot of money."

I pointed out that it was in fact €260 a year which is not much less than a weekly minimum wage and that she was insulting me by asking for so much.

And how much heroine can you get in Dublin for €5?

 

[Gearoid]

Exactly, if they got rid of these workers they could afford to give them one last hit.

I got three heroines for a fiver.

Wonder Woman
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Sue Storm.

I think it was money well spent.

That reminds me of 'The Commitments'.

Beat me to it An C, I was going to remark that the Dublin girls must be heroines if they give it away for a fiver!
