    There might be a sexy worker there, who knows.

    You stated, what else have I got to do?

    Well lets see, how about Job seeking because how the hell can I apply for jobs when I am on work placement 9am to 5pm?

    It doesn't really matter, does it; you will never hold down a proper job in your life.

    Why would the system care about job applications any longer?

    I am out of my house for about 11 hours a day. I still find time to job search and apply for jobs. Welcome to the real world.

    Good for you !!

    What do you want? a medal?

    It is. However naming a work placement and starting a moan groan thread possibly isn't the best idea.

    I don't think the placement would give a hoot either way to be honest, sure they'll be well used to people who would rather be elsewhere.

    I remember in the 40's there was a little fellow with a tash doing what he felt was right for society.

    If that is the case why has your original post been deleted presumably by MSE moderators

    You know all that about GG after only just joining with a total of two posts? Really? Whoever you normally post as must be too aware of how cowardly a thing this is. I don't think anyone would disagree that he needs a reality check, or that he doesn't make any real effort to obtain work (or anything else). But it is one thing if the powers that be find his comments - he's invited that by posting far too many details. But ratting him out in order to get him sanctioned? Who made that your job? That really is low. And yes, bullying.

    Completely agree with marybelle01. Good to see the MSE moderators take action on this one.

    I understand that in some sections of society, not "grassing" a cheat is seen as te morally right thing to do.

    To the rest of us, the opposite is true. If someone is cheating the system, it's the right thing to report it.
