Now all you have to do is once a fortnight follow the postman down the street repeatedly asking him where your giro is and why he hasn't got it.

These days you just go into your Bank branch and harass them instead.

I've never worked and I've had more fun in life than others. I upgrade my computer every 6 months and play all the latest games 15h a day. I also have 5 kids and a lovely wife

and the money just keep coming from our lovely government

In my sick dream of course.

No just redundant.

Good luck and I hope you find a job soon.

People like you I don't mind paying taxes for - it's the life-time dole scumbags that get me mad...

Well I'm elated to be able to say that I today accepted an offer of employment, in a role not dissimilar to my last one.
So with my last employments month being paid in lieu and this one starting from next week I'll actually not have suffered financially at all. My CV will not have one of those annoying gaps that will need to be explained in the future either

I'm a very relieved bunny indeed!

It's my signing on day tomorrow so I can ecstatically go in and sign off!

Thanks for the support (and laughs from those who missed the obvious jests!)

Cosimo · 18 Jan 2011 at 16:24

That is great news. Good luck with the new job.

...oh and rent and council tax is paid for.
Sorry to hear about the redundancy

Not necessarily true.

When I was out of work I got a small decrease in my rent and council tax. I couldn't afford to pay anything at all what with basics like food water and electricity coming first and fell massively behind in my rent and council tax. A year later and I'm still paying off the arrears. :mad:

When I questioned the award they said that it was right and I was still expected to pay £40 a week rent and £15 a week Council Tax. Yeah right, that's 90% of my job seekers allowance per fortnight!

Being out of work sucks unless you know how to exploit the system :/
