Take that as a compliment off you
BTW how is the new property?
Great mate thanks. Got a weekend of cutting grass, weeding and re-wiring, which I am loving at the mo. Gets me away of the monotony of posting insults on here
Got to say, despite my conviction that we have another 20%-30 fall to go, I am loving home ownership and wouldnt change it for the world.
Hope all is well with your pad too. Despite you being a street-urchin hugging hippy.0 -
Who cares? they should have worked harder at school. As a high rate tax payer they are not my problem; perhaps they should have thought about their futures when they embarked on a life of sitting on their @rse watching JK.
They need suck it up; it will teach them a lesson in life, that you dont get owt for nowt. Painful medicine, I am sick of workshy lazy tw@'s leeching valuable resources off this once great nation.
If the Eastern Europeans do head back, as I say, get a spade, there will be plenty of veg to dig on minimum wage.
The leech continues its crap rhetoric.
Done better at school? is getting a degree good enough?
Your issues is not my problem. Deal with it. Ppl are entitled to their benefits. Not so as far as MP's with their criminal 'expenses'.
At least joe public are not as bad as politicians.

The "there aren't any jobs anyway" excuse is frankly pathetic.
Why should anyone be allowed to get away with not working (unless they have a real disability).
Benefits and wages levels are very similar at the lower end of the scale, so a lazy scrounger getting a job just means that someone else will be unemployed until they, in turn, get a job. That sounds quite fair to me - some time working, other time on benefits.
What some posters seem to be saying is that they're happy for someone else to do the work whilst they sit on their backsides all day, every day, for their entire working life, letting the other poor sods work to pay for it. How is that fair?
LOL So the truth that there are no jobs is not good enough?

There are jobs available but many consider them a bit below them.
There are currently vacancies on various sites for:
Debt collectors
Cold call telephone canvassers
Cold call door to door canvassers
Fruit pickers
Veg packers
Cleaners
etc etc.
All the above require no particular qualifications and are open to virtualy anybody.0 -

All pay over minimum wage.
It appears that you now agree that there are jobs out there, just that they don't pay enough to make it worth it. Some people eaen a very good living in some of them jobs though.0 -

I admit nothing. These so called jobs do not pay enough to live.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

So cleaner could lead to cleaning supervisor, could lead to area manager, could lead to your own cleaning company. But then again I suspect you think it is just better to sign on and spend all day watching repeats of Jeremy Kyle whilst moaning about how unfair it all is.0 -
Cold call telephone canvassers
Cold call door to door canvassers
