    What's wrong with that?

    Nothing. :)
  • I assume grammar is not one of your strengths.

    As a former journalist, I can assure you it is. :D

    I assume grammar is not one of your strengths.

    And this from the person who wrote:

    "Aw brah you speak sense! I can only hope for this here maiden it all works out this one time.
    Although if the circumstances happened in which she has no details for the man, da OP should rest safe..."


    and

    "So much grammar fail. ;)"

    and

    "Would any of you like if it suddenly your boss said you had to work overnight shifts?

    The job centre can't even force people to apply for night work, so I think j this is a good grievience and exactly why we still need unions :-)"


    I assume spelling and proof reading aren't your particular strongpoints?

    It is about time they reduced this overly generous benefit though I wish they reduced it correctly so unemployed got affected too. The overall cap isn't going to matter if you live in cheap accommodation and that means they only pay £70 a week. I suppose people have to decide if they need a new car, an overseas holiday, expensive weddings or not now. What a tough life.

    Some unemployed will be affected by the tax credit changes. Depends on the type of income they have and the amount.

    Trust me these people have it worked out to a T. Whether it's rental income, carers, ESA, PHI it won't go above the limit.
  • I dunno, never been picked up in any of my publications.

    Interesting you expended effort to make the above post though. Guessing you're another minimum wage dweller. Well, the Tories have good news for poor, underachievers such as yourself. The gravy train is over and people like me will no longer subsidise you.
    The Guardian by any chance? :p

    And why only parents who have 330,000 children?
    Oh and I'm also a troll, so of course I write this way.

    Whereas you, you are poor. And probably Aspergic. And probably wear tracksuit bottoms despite being so fat the government gives you free money.

    I have never known anybody be so wrong on so many assumptions. In fact, you haven't got a single assumption correct.

    And you have followed the trail we have seen so often on this forum, where those newcomers who don't like what they read resort to personal attacks and innuendo, and then finally disappear up their own ar******.

    You give the impression of being fairly well off in the above post, yet here we find you asking how to get around the deprivation of capital rules so that you can keep winding in the benefits.

    Strange.

  • What type of post is likely to get backs up on here?..

    Also I can't believe you trawl through my troll-posts. Seriously, when you're on your death bed, do you think you'll look back on this as a good use of your time?

    I bet the laptop you're posting from cost 4k from Brighthouse :D:D:D

    You just keep proving that I hit the right notes in my earlier posts about you.
    Also I'm not a newcomer, frendo. Although nice - you try to pull the "I'm an established member" card on an internet forum. You must have a fantastic existence in the real world, if that's the kind of straw you feel the need to clutch at.

    So sorry. You've been a member all of two months.

  • With this incarnation, yes.

    Guessing you worked at a local paper. Probably in charge in the personal ads.

    In my teens, yes. That's the first thing you've got right. What are you going to do when you grow up?

    Unfortunately there are too many self righteous people on the forum. Ignore the trolls, the rude ignorant people who fail to see things from a different prospective. As i said earlier keyboard warriors:beer:
