Have you been up the Carfax Tower? I HAD to go up and have a look around - it wasn't that long after reading His Dark Materials trilogy, so I had a right chuffer on me

Yes, and I have done. I am applying for jobs left, right and centre and keep more records than they require. I've certainly not been 'warned' about not doing it correctly, if that's what you mean...

shut it you egg!
no worries. i think the jobcentre staff are getting a lot of pressure from the people above them to shove people into any job at all, regardless of suitability so i do feel a bit sorry for them to a small degree.Oh, ugh. Yeah, two claims might link - can't face working it out and counting weeks etc.
Tbh I would like some structure back in my life (since not working since 28/5) but also I am wondering -- if I 'take' this gig then the agency comes through with something good (i.e. thrice the money etc) then I can just quit £6ph gig and remove myself from the system, right? They're not going to make me sign a 6 month contract or anything, right?
Thanks for advice
against that however, we've had so many calls from single parents who are being bullied effectively into accepting completely unsuitable positions, 40 hours p/w even though, by law, they only need to do 16 hours so that they can fit around childcare responsibilities that it's quite depressing to listen to the tales of woe. my friend was told he should apply for a cinema usher job, 8 hours a week, even though it would mean him still claiming jsa cos they'd only disregard £5 of his "earnings"....
oh, and they're making him go to new deal, even though new deal have said that they don't have any money to send him on any training.....
Today's "Thought of the day" has just arrived by email:
wtf?
Oo yes then, you have to go! I got a bit emotional actually
Have to say, I agree with you. Certainly the most pleasantly surprised I've ever been by a so-called kid's book(s)
Heheh trust you

I am most definitely being railroaded into this - clearly a targets issue.
Hmm. It's an agency mass-meeting/interview today and actually the agency would be mad to accept me to this position, knowing I'd leave or not suggest something 'better'. I'm being snobby about it a bit but come on.
I'm going to have to go with this flow and see what happens and not stop looking for other things. I will be back to you about WTC and shit as I've calculated my bsic outgoings and my prospective income from this situation and it's -£18. Minus eighteen quid.
Hmmm. Wtf has my life come to?

Fuck you Dave!
Morning all! Terrible journey to work, cancelled trains and traffic jams.
However there was a lady on the bus with massive tits! They were quite well covered under a stripey top but their quantity could not be hidden! I'm glad she sat upstairs as I may have just stared at them

Right, I scraped together some change and I have a total of £3.27.
Do I:
a) get some lunch
b) put the money on a horse/scratchcards
c) starve myself and save the money for a pint on the way home

Lunch
and then pop into the pub on the way home and try and find someone to blag a pint off, or convince the barmaid that Old Fred left a pint in the pumps for you

I think the bad man should take some money off the kids to pay for gambling and lunch

why don't you ask in the pub and see if you can have a bar bill?

"Old Fred"
I know you enjoy my pain PM but the dancing smiles make me crack up every time!!!
You think they'd let me?
They're not here today.
If they were I would have relieved them of their pocket money already.

don't know: depends on the pub. if it's a proper free house & you're a regular you've got a chance, if it's a chain no point asking.
