    A bored man.


    Bring in just over 33k per year on benefits so have no real reason or way of getting a job (unless it paid over 33k),
    yet as the fun and novelty of getting loads of money for doing nothing wore off, and i started gettiing extremely bored of lazing around my apartment doing nothing much all day for months and months i had to try finding new avenues to gloat about it to keep feeding my ''addication to outrage''. :o

    As with all trolls, best to ignore him. He's still trying to get a rise out of people.

    What can i say, being unemployed is boring.

    As claiming lots of money in benefits is boring and pointless unless you can gloat about it! :D


    Thats what people on this webiste fail to understand about ''trolls'', and what motivates them.

    Its just like there would be no enjoyment in being rich and earning a 6figure salary if you wern't able to buy a huge mansion and drive aaround in a ferrari to show everyone how rich you are compared to them.

    So with benefits, theres no fun or enjoyment in getting a few £400+ free money ever week for doing nothing while other people have to work away in dirty tiring jobs to earn just half of that,
    unless you can go onto a platform and mock/gloat at them about how easy you get it compared to them! :)


    I fully and totally agree with that Mr Cardew.

    Still not quite smart enough not to keep getting your posting names mixed up though :D

    And I dont think anybody really cares to be honest as the general consensus is you make pretty much everything up anyway, and those who do get 'outraged' get put straight that you're just making stuff up pretty quickly and then they lose interest too.

    Still if it keeps you in kleenex, blow yourself away! :D

    Is this a wind up?

    Whether they bill you monthly or quarterly is matterless (as is whether you have a ppm or not). If you wish to pay them monthly then there is nothing stopping you from doing so (unless you just prefer to "work the system")!

    Some energy co.s may be incompetent, inefficient, rude, lazy or whatever you wish to believe of them BUT it's not unreasonable to expect you to pay for the energy you chose to have them supply is it?

    Yes

    Some people have such boring tedious lives.

    Sometimes wonder it was a shame they were born ;)

    As you wish to pay monthly instead of quarterly you will either have to clear your outstanding debit or pay on a monthly dd to clear the debt.

    Also Energy Smart monthly billing only started with bg last winter so upto then they used to bill all customers quarterly. its within their terms and conditions that you should clear all bills within a timely fashion and they can add late payment fees if you don't pay. so by not paying within 3mths may cost you more.

    maybe you should check the terms and conditions of stuff...
