Cheers Coops, It was going well until she told me how she spent in Cardiff yesterday and we haven't got a tree yet We chucked the one we have had for years after last Christmas it was starting to fall apart.

There's a really nice man, from Romania, who is homeless and he sleeps at the back of a shopping centre near Cardiff.
When I go there I do a shop in M&S for him and his two dogs (rotisserie chicken, cheese, bread, fruit, hot chololate) to keep them warm.

I wanted to offer him work in one of my businesses and he was keen - but he doesn't have any papers whatsoever. Without these he can't get a NI number or EU Passport, so I can't employ him as he has no right to work here.

It's a sad ever vicious circle.

He'll need a place of residency to get papers, if he's here illegally then he's cooked.

I believe there is a way of getting undocumented immigrants sponsored. I'm not sure how complicated it is, though.

My god, can you imagine, anyway he's not talking to me, its all very upsetting Coops.

Hope you didn't mention his bald spot.

No comment Smurph, I'm feeling rather tender at the moment.

There was a show on the homeless in Swansea not so long back. One of the men on there was given a flat, he couldn’t hack living inside and was back out on the street in a week.

A very common story. I Was in sheltered accommodation myself about 16 years ago when my drinking got out of hand. I was homeless myself, but only for a short while. There was guy who "lived" there at the same time I was there and in 18 months they maybe got him to stay there 10 times. He didn't view it as a home, he viewed it as a prison. For some homeless people, it is a very definite choice. He was my age and he died over a decade ago, on the streets, drunk and alone.

Not to bad Smurph, I get my moments though, I'd like to thank the posters who have perked me up with their support through the DM's sent, the list is endless.

Always here if you ever need someone to speak with. I may not be good at many things, I am a decent listener though

Nobody cares.. at least I'm honest like Darran
