You gonna tell dum-dum to get rid of that ridiculous sig, then? Commenting on something which he's far too young to remember anything about. The horrors that woman wreaked and the number of primary industries she destroyed that [iprovided[/i the work she wanted people to "get off their bums" and find...

You've obviously just found a batch of irony images and are busting to use them.

Suns out.

How did 'just' become 'judge' in my last post?! I'm not even using a phone. Weird(o).

Because you wrote the wrong word perchance?

Long way off though innit?

The odd 'there' instead of 'their' or 'could of been' might slip through, but completely the wrong wool?



Worrying.

Even for you, that is a terrible (but strangely funnier for that) gag.

Much appriciated thanks.

Thanks.

No that is straight up.
If you partner works then 6 months is all you are entitled to going on you contributions paid.
As as example I was in work for 20 years none stop apart from a previous 3 month period when I was unemployed and all I was entitled to was 6 months JSA.
To say I was astounded by that fact is an understatement.

We are in a similar situation. I work, so Mr Worm, as a joiner, gets nothing when he's out of work, building stuff (with the exception of jobs for out of town contractors) being thin on the ground over the last couple of years. Despite the fact that we have both worked all our lives paying the relevant duties he cannot claim anything. Would he qualify for JSA or is it means tested like Income Support?

What is really galling is that he cannot get aid for re-training so he can qualify as a lecturer to pass on his skills or, indeed, any other training course which would help him get an alternative job, because he isn't in receipt of benefits. It's really difficult to run a household on one income - there's no way we could afford to pay for re-training privately. Something wrong with the way benefits are distributed in this country, for sure.

He 'should' be entitled to 6 months.
It goes an your national insurance number

Hey San

Do you go to the game today ??? C GS has being acting all intelligent again not lol, back in Castle Hill in the morning at 10 am after been on 8000mg of Antibiotics a day including Pencillin looks like my knee has finally settled down so should be better next week. Mind you after the events of this week am so looking forward to our next home game, even got asked to pull on my boots yesterday ....... For Beveley of course.....

Nah, been down at the in laws, can't make it next week either as I've had tickets for something else since last year.

Good luck with the knee, hope it's sorted.

Just an update about my problems with my JSA.
I recived a telephone call today by what must have been a very junior office worker (She sounded awfully young) with a very quiet and meek phone voice who told me that 'she' had posted my letter this moring.
It seems that kicking major butt DOES get stuff done after all.

I would have liked to have ripped into whoever telephoned me but TBH if I had ripped into her I would have felt like I had attacked a puppy with a house brick, Clearly that was why the JSA office gave her the job of telephoning me.
I did chuckle to myself when I put the phone down thinking about the look on her face when she got told 'Telephone this guy will you he is irate and he may not tear into you'

"Ear y'are duck, jus' ring't very irate Mr Anakin Skywalker, now more commonly known as Darth Vader..."

I can imagine she jumped with joy.

Speaking of Masterchef, how amazing does Thailand look? Food looks good too.

Think I'll pass on the things with cockroaches in them. Would love a stroll round the street food stalls. Can't stand that Andrew, teacher's favourite despite all his mistakes and the experts not always liking his food.

Is Andrew the curly pig faced one? I'm not keen on the voice which describes each dish. I'd like to think she's a cross between Lillian & Mimi from shameless, but I bet she isn't.

I like the young one with the goaty sum of the dishes he does look really nice the curly pig face over complicates things I think

He's the one, spot on description, he really thinks he's going to win. All technique, no soul.
The Voice is annoying, did you see the Masterchef Professional, the usually 'hard man' sounding Sean Pertwee used the same creepy style?

I'm about to indulge in some Indian cuisine from a glass coffee table in my lounge, I've even found a Tiger beer.

Whats that.....starts with a fizz,then goes flat?

Homemade?

Sorry.
The food, not the table or the beer.

Not tonight Wharfey, I've tried a few times. Dumette likes her Korma but I can't get a Phall right. There's a shop halfway down Prinny Ave that have all you'd need but their advice, whilst being spot on for Korma was rubbish with the Phall.

Half the problem, maybe, is that I'm not marinating the chicken for several days.

Eve up early?

You've missed the Featherstone thread.

I have a bottle of Infinity sauce at home, get the base right and just whack some of that in. And some Chilli Jam, and jobs a good un! Your own version of a phal, but they all differ anyway.
