Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Fact of the day #2: people living on the poverty line are happier than people living further away from it.

Further away from it in which direction?

Either!

Put another way: the closer you are to the poverty line, the happier you are.

Fact for the day: according to this website: http://www.globalrichlist.com/ you're already in the top 1% if you're earning more than 26k

Huh, I put my annual salary, which is approx £4000 (yes really, I work in a sweet shop part time, and yes, I live on that) and apparently I'm in the top 14% of richest people in the world. Shocking.

if thats global, you are very well off...

in SA rand thats over R40 000. which is a LOT compared to the rest of africa.

scoot.. can you get me a quarter of wee nippies?

^ I don't understand the words you just said.

More importantly, some more excellent Christwire trolling

At least people who live in tropics don't need to waste money on exotic holidays. Even the poorest fucks in the UK will take a 250% APR loan from Provident or an emergency one from DSS if they're on a dole to fly Easyjet to Sharm El-Sheikh or Barbados.

it's not a very clear-cut way of showing the wealth standard, for you, £4000 is cutting below the belt especially with food, rents, water, etc.

whether in other part of the world, food for example are ridiculously cheap as low as 15p for a good meal.

True. I had the same standard of live when on £500 a month in Poland in the 90s (it was a wage from TV plus a freelance stuff, I also had a mortgage) I had here on £25k.
Only the food was better and cheaper. I spent most money on records, booze and tings.

Staple Polish and English food are broadly equivalent in terms of general shittiness.

In fact... Polish food is fucking gross. My grandma used to serve up some PROPER shite.

It's not about the food - it's about the organic ingredients, numpty.
Besides, what can be more shite than a fucking steak pie?

You don't deserve that passport, traitor. I bet you can't even say a prayer to Matka Boska.

I've never even been mate... And my Grandma was Swiss.

Plastic Pole.

Don't worry. My grandma was from Flanders.
