    Maybe a parent who's flipped by having their kids home and wants to escape life by hiding in a £350 ill fitting raincoat in a bank that likes to say yes but didn't say yes, well not immediately and not till after they in their polyester uniform passed out in shock at a less than £16000 bank balance, once the copious amount of excess chocolate has left their veins I'm sure normal service will resume.

    Actually thinking about maybe no one bought them an Easter egg and this is revenge.....

    Let's not forget the experience of diamonds outside the UK. For a 22 year old [in 2016], having been involved in the set up and training of technology introduced in the UK from 2003 outside the UK takes some doing.

    How many successful jobs can anyone have held in a short period of 4 years since they became an adult? Why would a 22 year old jump from implementing C&P abroad to managing a UK charity shop to working with unwell people (not necessarily in this order) - just randomly listing extracts from diamonds' posts. diamonds also had time to get thorough education in mental health (however that may be defined). An absolute genius, definitely worth a medal.

    I never said I was 22 in 2016, the halfax thread states my approx age - your incorrect trolling not gathering facts from my posts equals incorrect assumption. A jump ? I was bedridden with disability and forced to give up work, having been on my knees I paid it forward to others in the same position when I started getting better. Again many incorrect assumptions by trolling posts and not reading and filling blanks in with fantasy:rotfl:
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    My bank balance savings the trolls above will tell you from other posts is £5000, chocolate ? I wish dairy, soya... make me ill for days bedridden, the though is nice though. MMMMMMMM chocolat, Asda has great Free From choc cake bags for £1.60 though, minus the egg and add 3 tablespoons of gram flour and 3 of milk alternative is a fantastic experience though ;)

    It's insecurity that makes people do things like this. There's a lot of bragging in Diamonds posts.

    PRIDE actually against everything, I'm here, and its cosmic :A

    I'm sure the OP will report it if they feel the need to.

    However, your experience is nothing like the OP's. You can't really compare the two.

    I started in the service industry part time at 16, worked my way up to project manager at 21. Where bad customer servîce exists it must be rooted out. Customers reporting such is the most cost & effective way of companies doing such :)

    I'm trying to figure out what you can actually be earning and therefore banking 78% of. Forgive me if I get anything wrong, I've only read through the thread once.
    You haven't got a job which is why you're now claiming HB. You're entitled to but don't claim ESA/PIP because you don't feel, I don't know, that you deserve it yet? You're a full time carer for a parent? but you're not claiming Carer's Allowance. So what are you living on?

    And just in reference to some other comments not everyone suffers from mental health. Everyone has a mental health just like everyone has a physical health. It's just that some have a good mental health and others suffer from poor mental health.
    Also, as a sufferer of mental health problems I do make jokes about it and make light of the situation. But that's just me.
    And again just being nit picky but it's not autism Aspergers. It's one or the other. Aspergers is on the less severe side of the autism spectrum. It's an autism spectrum disorder, it is not the same as autism, which is more severe. If you would like to you can read some papers by Simon Baron-Cohen who I believe was involved with the creation of the Autism Spectrum.
    I got an education into mental health through books before I started suffering from it and got my education through the university of life too.

    I'm regretting getting involved in this thread.

    The guy is a judgemental, hypocritical, fantasist.

    All damned out of his own mouth.

    Quality trolling if that's what it is; if not guy's a buffoon.

    Night all :)

    True, and good point. :)

    Sometimes it's a bit difficult to ignore some of this type of stuff though!

    Hope I don't dream about that coat :eek:

    You should be proud of yourself that you got involved, as diamonds got on to a dangerous path of deceiving people. There was/is no obvious way in which such deceptions could take place but there is plenty of reason to suspect some form of deception might be planned.
