Urban v's the Commentariat

[DrRingDing]

I've never been to a party where virtually all the people there work, paid or unpaid, for an NGO, with most having gone to the same university.

I've been to a few where virtually everyone works a 'bullshit' job and a few went to an ex-poly, though. Although not the same one.

You can take my place if you like.

You are genuinely off your tits. I hope the storm passes soon.

As ever, nothing political under any name - just deflection and a back disappearing into the distance.

My OH. Is there a problem?

I mean really. Fucking hell. I write some embarrassing shit but that...

You forced to be there/their anarchist?

(I had to explicate the pun because he's stupid)

 

[DrRingDing]

Where as you write some pretentious cryptic bollocks and haughtily dismiss anyone calling you out on it.

 

[butchersapron]

No, i write directly political stuff and defend what i say. You - you're a waft.

You're also a massive bottler.

Who's posting embarrassing shite?

Anarchist or not we live on different planets.

Go on then. How does your world differ from mine?

 

[butchersapron]

1) Shall we try and establish some things about the use of interns and the people involved in this discussion?

2) You got a problem with interns pal?

You're seven leagues down in credibility. Just walk away.

Take your medication. The Great British Bake Off will be on soon.

About ten years ago in Dublin there was a mini-wave of upper-middle class kids ODing on the Fruit of the Poppy.

Presumably a combination of it being very easy to get hold of here, combined with an "edgy" image.

Can't say anything political. You've been 10 years here under various names, never seen a political post from you.

Pretty much. I think one of the shit-for-brains Greystones lads I knew two decades - you probably know, or know of, the other, who is nicknamed 'negligent' in Dublin legal circles, I believe - was doing H.

Keep trying babes.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Hand up if you know someone who is or was an intern. I don't.

Really? Over here, the government has set up a state sponsored unpaid (well you get 50 quid a week on top of your dole) intern scheme. Which has succeeded in replacing large number of low paid jobs with unpaid ones.

And it means that the dole office tries to push people into "interning" as window cleaners, waiters, shop assistants etc etc etc. So while interns used to be something you found in art galleries or newspapers, now working for nothing is on the way to being universalised for young people. It was of course introduced by a Labour Minister.

Here's the Socialist Party's website devoted to detailing the "Jobbridge" intern scheme:

Now that's some quality gossip.

This article actualy says:



Again, i kid you not.



Are there no editors here? What are the similar things? What's the point of the second sentence?

Second sentence implies that it's a 'silly thing' to do.

Fucking atrocious article.

 

[DrRingDing]

I'm still waiting for a reply on how our worlds differ?

You can't even see it.

Spell it out to me.

Go on humour me.

No really, please explain what you mean.

What are you saying?

Totally different intern. Intern here means unpaid/paid at a lower rate experience at an elite/middling/NGO cultural institution. That sort of shit.

 

[DrRingDing]

Your shit boasts of being more w/c are frankly bollocks.
