    certainly are. they even work when you have no signal.

    mind you. this person is basically a full on troll. She often claims to have no money (not even £1.20 for the bus) but tells stories of money she has spent on tattoos, Wiis + games, alcohol, wanting to buy a digital camera. She asks what theme park is best, which are also quite expensive to get to and get in.

    Then she had a 'trapped nerve' in her leg which made her disabled and couldn't even walk, yet then asks what kick boxing is like.

    Then she asks about the likes of crisis loans and JSA. She claims also to not be able to apply for a job as she can't afford a stamp.

    And now she wants a mobile contract.

    Then there are ridiculous trollings like: water makes me ill, how much electricity does my treadmill use, has anyone had anything lanced, has anyone had mumps twice, has anyone had a finger infection, sinus infection, salt cravings.

    There's probably more on MSE but this is just from TSR.


    and you are someone who clearly doesnt read, we didnt have money till our JSA was sorted

    Even someone like me can supposedly claim DLA. IMO it does seem wrong 'cos it's not like I need extra money.

    Tinks why not get a PAYG phone on Vodafone then you can buy a freedom pack. For £10 a month you get 300 texts and 100 minutes.
