Farmer walks into the bedroom with and sheep under his arm and says this is the pig i have to sleep with...his wife says i think you find thats a sheep and the farmer replies i think you find i was talking to the sleep

A lady friend of mine said if I could tell her what the mixture of metal oxides and silicon dioxide produced when smelting ore to separate the metal fraction from the unwanted fraction was called, she'd give me a blow-job and let me take her up the arse.

Slag.

Where'bouts in this emerald isle are you heading?

Probably to the nearest Guinness serving establishment 

£50 for a 40 hour week? no, make people work for there benefit er maybe, Patrick i don't know exactly where you live or what job prospects are like there but in London and maybe some other cities in the UK but im talking about London, there is absolutely no excuse to be out of work for 2 years or even a year, these are the type of lazy bastards that piss people off, i think if someone is out of work for a year in London and it doesn't look like they have been putting in any effort then yes make them work for this pittance and im sure they will find it so soul destroying they might just take a job, you say that just the job-seekers benefit but they will end up with more ie housing and council tax benefit which adds up to much much more. I read that housing benefit comes in at 21 Billion a year, absolutely amazing and totally unacceptable, unfortunately everyone gets tarred with the same benefit scrounging brush and its not fair, i hope you find something soon mate i really do.

[-you can boot them and get another two, nearly free!]

Ok lads, I've been unemployed for far too long (some prospects on the horizon thankfully, can't wait!) -nearly 2 years at this point IIRC. I do a bit of freelance work now and again if I can get it. Anyway, these "malingering fuck heads" do you think they should be made to do a full time job for the £45/£50 a week that we people on Jobseekers are getting?

I wonder now, Muz, you have your own business, wouldn't you love to get some of your hard earned taxes back in the form of a "worker" that you don't have to pay directly and will be expected to work full time? ...I bet it would help you out immensly, improving productivity and with no overall hit to your salary budget. -Sure, they might not be the most enthusiastic, but they're cheap, right? Then, when they've done the job long enough to earn your respect, and mabet a full wage, -you can boot them and get another two, nearly free! ISN'T BUREAUCRACY GREAT!!??

Now imagine all those handy "workers" were being farmed out to big businesses ala Tesco, B&Q, etc whilst smaller, more local businesses were being ignored when they need help the most. And the friendly government statistics and propaganda department can put down that X amount of people aren't unemployed! Hey isn't that some creative accounting?

Now, no need to imagine, because it's happening right now. Is this ok with you? Just because of how many "dole dossers" you are getting? Are you so pissed off with these so called youth, that you are willing to sell countless younger generations to what might as well be government prostitution? So be careful what you wish for.

Excuse me if I sound like a bitter malingering fuck head, but when I get told to go for an "interview" at B&Q and the guy tells me there are no actual real jobs going and that I can work for them for free, under the slim chance that they create some openings in the future that I might possibly may be considered for, I get a bit worked up. Tone probably knows what I'm talking about. Fuck sake, I'm not working for less than minmum wage, sorry. Might as well be State-Corporate run slavery at £2 an hour. FUCK THAT.

Living on £45 a week, I can barely do it, and only because I've got people to help me out now and then. I've even had to move back in with me old folks. I can't even imagine how you managed to cope for 6 months Tone. So the idea that there are people living the high life on this type of benefit just doesn't add up for me. Unemployment is no fucking water slide ride imo.

It's all a scam, and businesses like yours Muz seem to be losing out, as are innocent people at the bottom, and yet more hate and unrest is generated.

...Besides, all the cool scroungers fake a mental disorder and get DLA.

Anyway, in a sense I'm lucky as I haven't got anyone depending on me. So make of that what you will.

You probably think I don't fall into the category of spuck youse are on about, but I'm not far from it guys. And I'm so bloody sick of being made to feel that I should be grateful for the kind generous pitance you all seem to think you're paying for.

This is one depressing thread, and I feel sorry for us all.

So I have two questions:
1.) Do you think £50 a week for a 40 hour week is ok?

2.) Do you think people, who are on jobseekers (not any other benefit) should be made to "work" for it?

Have a good trip Jim, I'm sure there will be some nice caches over there (and fishing too)
