1162652 2010-12-17 06:07:00 Just shoot him. Jesus, what arrogance saying he can't live on a grand a week. My father used to feed our family of five and a dog on just $600 a week, and that's before the monthly mortgage payment.

Was that after you lived in a paper bag in the middle of the road by any chance?

1162654 2010-12-17 06:18:00 Same here when I was a child in the 40's... it got so bad once, the dog disappeared and never came home......:p

Yes, when I was a child in the 40's, we had the crusts of week old bread for breakfast, then we walked 20 miles in bare feet on a gravel road to school. At lunchtime we were allowed to smell a rag that had been used to clean the dipstick of the headmaster's car. Finally, for dinner, we had gruel made from our father's old socks that had been boiled for a week on the coal range. And if we complained we got a hiding.

And Hotchin can't get by on $1,000 a week!!!

1162655 2010-12-17 06:37:00 I am lucky that houses are still affordable on a single income down here. My income just covers my mortgage & essentials, then I use the rent money from my flatmate for maintenance & entertainment.

If I was living somewhere more expensive then $1000 per week probably wouldn't be enough.

Well spotted.

1162659 2010-12-17 09:33:00 I could personally survive very well on $1000 per week. When your income drops you have to make do with what you have and lower your life style.

Maybe he needs to get budgeting advise from an old age pensioner or someone on the Dole.

It's a joke . Go find a clip of that Monty Pyhton thing, it was hilarious .

They go on about their living conditions, each getting worse and worse until I think the paper bag in the road won . Or not .
