Geeklawyer was moved by the tale of an 11 year old girl in the Philippines whose dire existence was a dirge of poverty hunger
deprivation and misery. So ground down was she that it drove her to suicide by hanging.
Her family lived in a shanty home without running water or electricity; she only wished for a bicycle, bag, new shoes and jobs for her parents so she could finish primary school.
Immediately prior to suicide, and probably provoking it, her family was unable to give her a measly $2 for a school project because her father was too ill to work and her mother had to work part-time in a noodle factory for a dollar a day to feed her starving kids.
Geeklawyer was so moved he toasted her memory with a £50 bottle of champagne.
Yes… waaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic… get back to your previous post on Ming the Jobless… and fix that ‘pound sign’
I was with you riiiiiiiiiiight up to the £50 quid bottle of champagne
(though I actually think you gave the money to a charity helping poor kids like this one, because, despite your IP Teeth, you are really a total softie 
)
Oh how sweet natured you are. Yes, in truth I drank myself into a stupor to numb the pain.
[…] Law says Holmes is ‘way bigger than Charon’ … excellent ephemera… Meanwhile Geeklawyer continues to cover matters of serious import, revealing a hitherto hidden social conscience. Simon […]
social conscience - you’ll be telling us you’re welsh next.
and ming is not jobless - he is appearing at a rally on dec 8th (i think) to end global warming - yes a rally will definitely do it! presumably by standing around getting cold a lot of people will then be able to absorb a huge quantity of heat which would otherwise warm the atmosphere. makes you wonder why they all had to fly to kyoto when you can do things that simply. a major libdem achievement along with ….. err anyway.
I’m sort of a libdem, at least I’ve voted for them a couple of times. But then I’ve voted conservative too. And Labour. But not the BNP, though I’d be less ashamed of admitting voting BNP than Labour.
<sniff> that brought a tear to my eye. Until I remembered that her slacker of a mother could easily make *five* dorrah a day by sucking off sailors.
You’re a disgrace sir, a disgrace. Do you not have an ounce of decency?
you used ‘voted’ and ‘libdem’ in the same sentence - an amazing achievement that not many of the population seem to want to do. and a good thing too if you ask me. bunch of useless gits who only exist to keep pi lawyers in work as they bring spurious claims for falling (or being chucked) from bandwagons.
but you must forgive me - i am very bitter today as you now have the top two hits for simply wondered on google - well above my admittedly puny (puisne?) blog. it still feels like you’ve stolen my name.
