    Who said anything about buying him drinks all night?. He gets one or two off people he knows and who he has conned. He told me about the phone I didn't assume. And no I have no intention of giving him a penny. I don't know how he has managed to get away with claiming JSA for so long either save for when he has been sanctioned. I suspect he is doing the volunteer work so he can get his jsa. I pay tax and insurance like everyone on here and think his attitude is terrible. He models himself on Che Guevara but even he had a work ethic.

    There are people on these boards who claim benefits. Theres a whole section of the board dedicated to benefits.

    You dont get JSA just because you do voluntary work, it does not exempt you from having to look for work.

    Annandale I have never claimed any benefit including jsa so I don't know the drill surrounding entitlement. Even at sixth form I had a job as a domestic at the local uni for 25 hours a week. This was before the NMW was made statutory. The longest my lazy cousin has held a job for is 11 months. His last one in 1996 was as a concierge at a college a very cushy job but no it was too much for him and he was only 33 then!. He even has the cheek to say he can't afford a funeral policy.

    I got a text from my lazy sod of a cousin earlier. He said ta very much for not contributing so he can have a nice Christmas. My reply isn't repeatable on here. Even the phone he text me on was supplied to him by the jobcentre, a cheap PAYG so his advisor can let him know of job alerts. He is pathetic.

    How mean of the Jobcentre ...surely they should have issued him with an i-pad - or a laptop at least :-( :D

    Or doctor, revolutionary, politician and banker, depending on your perspective.
    None of which I suspect applies to the OPs supposed relative.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It surprises me the OP doesn't send these threads in to MSE as the dilemma of the week?

    He's even failed at that, Che died at the age of 39.

    Yesterday (saturday). Lazy cousin phoned me and said he needed to come to mine. My reply was your is Sheffield I'm many miles in Suffolk. He said my aunt is pressing him to get employment before its too late for him. He says it's mine and his sisters fault putting ideas in his mums head. His sister won't take him so I have to (his words). My answer is unrepeatable on here. Made it clear I won't be housing him. My aunt also wants more than £5 a week off him now he also says its my fault.
