On the bench - keep warchest to pay salary or splunk it all on dividendand claim JSA?

[fullyautomatix]

Nah. Its more than £6500 aint it? Are you sure this applies to contrib based JSA too?

Still trying to justify trying to grab some JSA ?

As an IT professional, the sheer prospect of barging through Stella drinking plebs first thing in the morning and asking for 50 quid to survive is enough to make me eat my own eye balls.

DO you not have any dignity left ?

Most of them would be motivated to work if offered £400 per day to change tapes and post on t'internet.

I like the way PC gets all worked up when he feels people are having a go at him for claiming, but is more than happy to look down his nose and cast aspersions at the good people of the South Wales Valleys.

It's one of his more charming traits.

Perhaps I'm being unfair. I guess everyone needs someone to look down on, in the way that street meths drinkers look down on glue sniffers and glue sniffers look down on furniture polish sniffers.

I guess the difference is between one person looking down on others and them not knowing about it versus one person getting abuse from a load of others every time they post on a forum. Still, as long as everyone else feels good about themselves I guess that's fine.
After all, when someone makes a post about "My kid gets picked on at school because they're a bit different" everyone rushes in with "Good, they deserve it", so it's fair enough.

I hear what you're saying, but PC does it just to stir things up so he can act all hard done by in the fallout.

Why else do you think he repeatedly posts about claiming JSA when he knows the response he'll get?

FFS. Who do you think you are - the Queen?

Spend 6 months on the bench, find out your warchest has run out and you can't pay the mortgage or feed the kids. Then when you swallow your pride and decide your not all that that they'll say sorry you should have signed on 6 months ago we can't help you with mortgage etc for 6 months.

BTW. You do know you dont have to go in and say please can I have £50 dont you? Sign a bit of paper, takes 5 mins every 2 weeks. £144 per fortnight.

But you are right about the plebs outside.

Most of which are friends of mine lol. Still a bunch of lazy ****ers mind ;-)

To be honest, I look down on a lost of posters on here and think I'm glad I'm not as much of a self-righteous bellend as some of these.
