UK employment: Firms 'report optimism over jobs'

The puppet master has been caught out a few times using the 'jimmy puppet'. His building knowledge clearly comes from google, he is always online almost as though he is an IT worker sat on a PC not a carpenter working on building sites, he has rudimentary knowledge of the Northwest almost as though he is a Southern IT worker sat on a PC mocking the northerners, he makes ill conceived statements about single mums that he has to retract in shame when Single Sue pulls him up about it and when I ask him what he, a supposedly single and childless man, is doing watching single mum's dropping kids off at schools.
All in all I feel the puppetmaster should cut his losses with jimmy and move on, but the master seems strangely attached to Jim, even to the point of trying to defend the lifestyle that he initially created as an obvious parody.
Bonkers. :rotfl:0 -

Anyway, today, Chris Grayling about unemployment numbers: "Signs of stabilization in these figures".
This is the turning point, guys and girls.
It's leveling off now. Of course still high, but things can only get better. :T

You certainly are.
You have just come up with all that out of your own mind.
You are quite welcome to bring the p3adophile accusation back up renovation man.
Ill concieved statements, behave yourself, there are plenty of slappers around here and plenty of knob eds who settle for a slapper.
Why have i got a rudimentary knowledge of the north west, what are you basing this on ?
Always online ?
It was the DIY comment that set you off wasnt it, dont worry ive fixed lots of peoples fcuk ups in the past, its usually the diy enthusiasts missus who rings me to sort out her fellas latest bodge.
Big oldham construction firm laying off around your way isnt there ? bet you cant find that on the internet, you know who i mean.
Its pretty obvious to me that you have not renovated anything, see i can do it too.0 -

Me neither.
Its all in your head.
You come up with a thought and decide its 100% true and accurate.
Its not just me you do it to.
Im currently living down south, working in IT and researching the north west in my spare time so that i can lie about the NW in my spare time on an online forum. Proper little columbo you aint ya:rotfl:
What part of my backstory is not adding up for you ? let me know and i can do some more research and put the finishing touches to it.
Is it the part were i mentioned a while back that building firms were trying their best to phase out paye employment and put all trades onto subbying, i did say that this was going to cause more deaths on site and what are we seeing in the news today.
In the last ucatt magazine i got through the door it also said that the government were looking at the option of removing health and safety rights for self employed sub contractors, not paye employees, just subbys, this will save the construction firms an absolute fortune.
I can see the way the building game is going because i see it with my own eyes everyday, everybody subbying with no rights is the main goal for all the big construction firms as when the crash came it put a lot of firms under because they could not afford to pay redundancies.
Id post a link to the news story on building site deaths rising but i have not got a clue how to post a link as im a bit 5hit with computers.
I can play the saw though.
Its quite obvious to me that you live in an over 55s complex and work as a lollipop lady, i deduced this from the information that you have provided on this forum.0 -

Hey Jimmy,
Online early today, mate...
Scaffolders didn't show up again?
Or they came but without planks?
Your story is wearing thin.
