edited: because i didnt put it quite well first time

Rebel millionaire is on Ch4 in my local area, it should be good for a laugh

one example is this lad was bragging he was on the sick, he had a gold braclet i could not even carry and he was on a motocross bike which had no numberplate.

How can he afford what must be £1000+ worth of gold on his arm, all Whilst bragging on TV he is on the sick...

Joke.

oh sorry...

anyway this lad was bragging he was on the sick, he had a gold braclet i could not even carry and he was on a motocross bike which had no numberplate.

The joke is, he does not look sick to me, and how can he afford what must be £1000+ worth of gold on his arm, all Whislt bragging on TV he is on the sick...

thats what i find the joke.

edit - i was typing quickly so you could turn it on to ch4 quickly, so i guess i didnt put my point across very well SORRY

its a bit like on the blob but the other end

it means pulling a sick day, phoning in sick when there is nothing wrong with you!

I thought it was a good comeback actually, at least it didn't go totally ignored

Fraudulently being on benefits due to a claimed illness that is of such a severity that you are unable to work. In the Ali-G film, Ali claimed to have a sprained scratching finger.

EDIT: It can also mean, as already posted, taking a single day off work 'sick' when you are not - although I'd call that taking a sicky. As described, I would presume that my definition is more likely to be correct for this particular example.

well close.. it must be the northern lingo

I think quite a few people do it round here.

It basically means being on long term illness benefit (not sure what its called)

Quite a lot of people do it to avoid getting a job, its like signing on but you dont have to go to the dole office you just get money thrown at you :rolleyes:

well i judged it in the first 10 mins which showed the people playing up for the camera..

I did not know any of those good deed's happened in this area and i can say i am truly shocked. Well done to the unsung hero's in this area :eek:

2 out of the 3 good causes really did deserve it, the other i am unsure about :confused:

------
btw i recorded the prog, would i be allowed to show the guy on the motobike that i thought was a joke, or would this be against copyright and get me in trouble.
