[Closed] HELP!! ANYONE!??

sorted.

Have a £5er on me . Hope you get there mate.

while we still (just about) have a welfare state that we pay taxes for, there's really no need to be sending people cash as well 🙂

As you can tell these donations are very very kind I will not do the same, not that I don't believe in your situation. I suggest when your sorted financially you either donate a similar some to say steven murray or mike aitken or perhaps donate your labour for a couple of days. what bike is it your selling gotta link

are you still dragg'ing up at work winnie?

Fiver coming your way mate - but you've got to apply for one of the jobs going at your local jobcentre:

heh. working for jcp? grim, but better than nothing...

eh steve? you pissed?

one of the few organisations with a steady stream of customers (unfortunately) at the moment - taking on circa a 1,000 a month, so the rumour goes

just re-employing the 30,000 or so they've culled over the last few years in an 'efficiency drive'

well it was never the most efficient organisation was it...

Mikey post your paypal up again as I will gladly help you out in line with other helpful bods like Zedsdead et al - ignore the glupton and his sad and bitter outlook

[i]well it was never the most efficient organisation was it... [/i]

err, no, you have a point there

Keep paying the rent. In order,t his is what you should pay first to last:

Council Tax - otherwise they will send you to jail.
Rent/Mortgage - keeping the roof over your head is pretty important
any other secured loans - again to keep the roof over your head
anything else can be renegociated with people - utility bills, credit cards,loans etc. The most important thing is to talk to them now, and not when you are in arrears. Most will allow you to delay/defer payment.

Rent is always the top priority ji.

if he has no income he won't have to pay Council Tax.

hi guys, Thanks for all the support you are giving to me. i am really thankful for all the contributions you have made towards my rent. It has helped me out alot and ill do a favour for you lot any day. 😉

I spoke to my landlord and he let me off half of the rent this month because of my situation but i have to pay it on top of next months rent too.
All i need now is a job!! FAST!!

Dont be proud, get any old job - even a McJob. You could eat free then.

mundiemeister - there is nothing sad and bitter about my outlook. My bullshit filter must just be better than most. If you look you will see that when asked about why the OP is in this position and cant get help from family there are no answers forthcoming.

Hope he enjoys his new bike that he'll now be able to afford though. 😉

Mikey_M - I hope it is a scam, because it would be a hell of a good one. 😀

geting a mcjob must be harder than ever, i read yesterday they are geting 1500 applications a day

TJ is in no place to hand out criticism to anyone on here.

Regarding the OP: Sincerely hope you sort out your situation, allot of us are feeling the pinch at the moment. Looking at your email address I assume you are 18, are you in a position to ask for help from family/friends?

Its great to see everyone getting together to help someone out, but I'd never ever assist someone I didn't know with money. If it was a lift, accommodation, some bike bits etc... then fair enough.

100

Smee - in many ways it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. You do come across as cynical and negative.

You could have just read the thread, shrugged your shoulders and not commented?

racing_ralph - That is one very generous donation 😉

desf - where would the fun have been in that though?

Smee - true
😉

-where would the fun have been in that though?

fun?!

this is the sort of fun you could be having for that sort of money:

Fun: Derek's birthday.[/url]

I can't help with a job, but have sent beer money.

Of Course, I own you now 😆

Thanks alot people for understanding my situation here. I never expected any of you to donate me money (beer money 😉 ). But i am very greatful as it has helped me out ALOT!! Your right about the mcdonalds job, i apllied there like 6 times in the past 3 days, I didnt even get invited to an interview!!

Cant thank you guys enough!! Mikey.

Go sit outside a station with a hat on the ground, you'll get more money than you will from this thread?

Seems a bit odd that people want to throw money at some kid who is behind with the rent.

In the 90's we just had to sign on and get housing benefit and try and get a job, not beg on internet forums.

😐

djglover - I can see where you are coming from. But if you read what this thread is origanally about, you'd realise that i am NOT begging for any kind of money. It was there choice to do so and i am extrememly greatful for it!! If you have nothing nice to say, then dont post anything please.

Mikey_M - I seem to remember you saying that you had been told you were overqualified for a job at McDonalds and that was a couple of weeks back.

I smell shite.

Smee - i did get an interview for that job. im not on about a few weeks ago. im on about the last 3 days, ive applied 6 times and had no interviews or anything. I was replying to Flatback.

Ach come on Smee...back off the guy.

He didn't make any of us give hime the money did he...?

You haven't chosen to give him anything...which is cool, that's fine...but where is all of your persistant bullying getting you, and what is your interest in this matter ?

Brack - it isn't bullying, i'm just not buying the story, that's all.

Good luck to the guy.

It might be an essay.

And we've all been alerted now to the fact that 'you' think its a scam...which is good that you are looking out for us.

But seriously mate...you will die young, or live long and unhappy if you carry on so bitter!

Who is bitter?

brack - Member

But seriously mate...you will die young,

Too late for that methinks

why are you all giving this guy money????? I agree he was willing to sell something and didn't start this topic by begging for money, so why oh why are all of you "throwing" money at him????
I am skint , i have a HUGE overdraft, a mortage to pay, a kid to feed,clothe and keep warm!! i am struggling to keep two jobs going so i have just enough money at the end of each week!!!!
are you all going to send me money???? i would not dream of taking it!!! it is no better than sitting on my arse or sending out begging letters!!!!!!!!!

There are some real tools on this forum. If Mikey is having a tough time and hasn't asked anyone for money yet people are prepared to give him some then that is their choice. Smee, we get your point now. Well done. Chazza - people are sending him money because they want to. I am like you - skint and big debts too. I wouldn't beg for money either. Mikey also hasn't begged. People may actually be donating due to something called goodwill. Maybe they are just happy to do it. Some people are just happy to help out in a small way. I read this thread and actually thought it was nice to see there is still goodwill in the world. Then a few self righteous types had to ruin it. It is possible to have threads on this forum that don't involve conflict you know. Mikey, good luck chap. Been in your situation and know only too well how it feels. Things will pick up.

I read this thread and actually thought it was nice to see there is still goodwill in the world.

It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside !! Just like special brew !! Not that I've resorted to that level of unemployment yet 😉

Yep, "McDonalds" ......... the Daily Mail readers, great anti-recession safety valve !

What should you do if there is a down-turn in the economy and you lose your job ?
Claim unemployment benefit so that you can still feed yourself ?

No ! no ! no ! .......... Everybody should form an orderly queue, trot down to McDonalds, go straight to their jobs counter, and get themselves a job !

It's so easy really - why can't you wet nurse, nanny-state-lovin' guardian readers, not see that ?

.

Smee - in many ways it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. You do come across as cynical and negative.

Ah, but that's because he's the............................yep, one and only : [b]"TROLLING ZOO-FIGHTER" ![/b]

Also donated. Hope you make the rent, and good luck with the job hunt.

actually it's been worth my £1 just to flush out the miserable bitter troglodytes that inhabit the darker recesses of this madhouse....!

"TROLLING ZOO-FIGHTER" !

😆

* awaits someone with this as their login name to wade into this thread*

Hi guys, You lot seriously shouldnt be argueing over me on this thread. I mean c'mon, theres no need for it. I am very greatful for what you guys have done for me and it has got me half way out of a big hole im in!!

seriously, you should claim housing benefit. what will you do if you still don't have a job next month? phone your local council tomorrow.

bump

Mikey..

Did you used to live in York??

And work in a well known bike shop??

this thread is quite extraordinary.

It would be very sweet if we had not subsequently come to believe that Mikey was not a deserving cause. I have given larger sums to homeless alcoholics, so I'm not going to lose any sleep either way.

And the thread gave us the expression "TROLLING ZOO-FIGHTER". So it's all good really. 🙂

This thread should be framed and put on the wall, so that those who donated can never forget what happened here 😉

off his facebook....

I seem to remember getting more than a little stick for saying this was a con.

No apologies needed though.

I remember reading this thread a while ago and thinking how very kind people were being, but no way am i gonna help. What is the latest development? was it a con?

Ahahahahaaha!!! this is the same lad who ripped everyone off on that other thread. I salute your ability to con all these people, but you sir are a ****. Singletrackworld a forum for mugs.

Smee - Member

A point of information : I am not the original author of the term "trolling zoo-fighter".

Although I make no apology for using it, as it is a truly excellent description.

Sadly I can't remember who originally coined the term, which is a shame as they clearly deserve credit for it.

Ah, a [i]search[/i] reveals that the original author of the term 'trolling zoo-fighter' is crikey.

Well done that man ..... *applause*

Then I salute crikey also. 🙂

am i missing something but i bought something off him 3 weeks ago and it hasnt showed up at my house. he told me he was involved in a motorbike accident and he had broken multipul bones in his body. he is the biggest con artist on here , hes ripped off many people on here and i'm affraid hes pulling another con. he is nothing but pond life, stay well clear
if i ever get in contact with hgim i will knock him into next week. tosser

do you have his address?

mmm scammer me thinks...

See [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/come-in-mikey_m-your-time-is-up?replies=20 ]this[/url] and the Lee, Big Dutch .... thread

Oh dear another problematic thread on STW.

Folks I guess we just have to observe the Karma working on this person.

So whoever you are ripping people off remember this: [b]"As You Sow, So You Reap."[/b] Now sit back and watch your negative karma ripen.

Anyone from Leicester know him?

Mugs the lot of you, who sent this fool money

joey deacon: who is this in the pic?

I did. Only a couple of quid or so but it's more the principle. Next time someone who actually needs the money asks I'm less likely to help them out. Doubt Mike Mcmahon of Leicester gives a f*ck tho. Cos it's becoming apparent that he's a lying little c*nt.

[url=

That, from what I can gather, is the lovely Chelsey (who I do believe is trying to resolve the situation - so don't mean any offence to her at all), and her darling boyfriend Mike.

What a stupid haircut!

Mugs the lot of you, who sent this fool money

I didn't send him any money but I would dispute the "mug" charge. Giving a guy with a hard luck story a quid hardly makes you a mug.

OK maybe he was telling a pack of lies,`but so what ? Giving one quid is hardly going cause any problems, and he [i]might[/i] have been telling the truth.

Most people were fully aware of this as this post typifies :

andy_hamgreen - Member

you may be scamming us but there's another quid - make sure you pass something on if you get the chance

cheers

The people who donated aren't 'mugs', they are simply people with a sense of compassion who were prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. And donating a quid hardly warrants a deep analysis of it's 'scamming potential'.

The real loser in this story is the scammer, and the real winners are those who showed compassion.

IMHO

Mugs.

I was one of the "mugs" who donated, only a pound, and would again, just so he could afford his hair cut;-)

GG, I bet they feel like mugs. In my book, that probably makes them mugs.

Smug is an anagram of mugs 🙂

Well put Gus.

As previously, I have occasionally given folding money to smelly men who claimed that if they could just get into a hostel for the night to get a shower and a shave they had a job interview tomorrow and they were sure to get the job and could get their lives started over. Presumably they were lying and spent it on the strongest cider that quantity of money could buy, but you never know.

And I agree, stupid haricut, chubby girlfriend. 🙂

That's a bit harsh BD. At least his girlfriend appears to be an actual person, rather than a "real doll" that gets carried around on the back of his preposterous utility bike. 😉

same boat here, but 350 quid behind on rent....benefits are kind and are sorting rent out from when i first claimed which gives 45 to live on a week, just don't ride like spaz and break bones so you can't do work when it's offered to you..

Oh and guys, no donations to bail me out please, it's my shit....etc..

You are allowed to refer to my wife as resembling a "real doll" once I have stolen a quantity of your money Mr_A, but I do not regard it as very fair given that I have not yet done so. 🙂

No offence intended. Just pointing out that just because someone is an asshat, it doesn't necessarily assist matters to be rude about people connected with them.

Agree about the shit haircut though. His mum needs to get the pudding bowl out.

BigDummy -

Thanx for that!!
Even if Mike hasn't sent those items off on time. I have sent them off myself now + there really is NO need for you to talk about me like that. I have tried my hardest to help send them items off. If you haven't got anything nice to say about people, please don't say it!!

Chelsey.

Stick with it Chelsey. Remember, most of the nerds on here have never had a girlfriend....
