Schedule Changes

And this new job is...?

[Viv 14]

Heard a mate got a job after a LONG time unemployed. so, in your face, people who say everybody loves benefits. they actually don't and there are those who consistently try. so, TWO PLUS YEARS of benefits, and he has got a job in student loans, glasgow, in their call centre.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

Yeah, the ones who do try hard are the people the incompetent t***s at the Jobcentre usually target for more thorough checking... at least in my experience, while other 'career dole dossers' walk in, actually say "Yeah I've done nothing this week, gimme my money" and GET IT. I've watched that happen and my complaint that they weren't cut etc was ignored. Less paperwork if they 'dont catch' people, which is bloody wrong. Plenty of those out there who try hard but they often get screwed over because of the lazy f***wits that also exist.

[Viv 14]

Have to agree. There are so many flaws. I have often thought a job centre should have "technology days" where they teach people skills they are missing out on through being out of the workplace, and being out of touch, then they are expected to step right back in there with no training, or anything.

My mate, who has also to do scanning of documents, finds he does not know how to scan, so someone is having to show him this. Unemployed too long = out of touch.

I got 7 A's 2 B's and 2 C's in my GCSE's. Was gutted with one of the C's as it was in a subject I want to do for A level but the school are gonna see what they can do and I might be able to take it anyway

Have to agree. It is fascinating the amount of peeps that go round + round the system for years. Of course, they get the rest a bad name.

If you ARE genuinely applying for things, you shouldn't be hassled, yet the more conscentious people DO get all the hassle.

Heard a suggestion about reducing benefits. However, I should think that would only make some people commit more crimes to work out the difference. Ya know. Such a mess.

What rocks in my life? This little piece of news, that's what:

and based on Hooligan's Island, probably the best Live Show. Rik and Ade have been tweeting about this for about 2 weeks now, stuff along the lines of "Writing today with this bastard" (from Ade, with a photo of Rik).

Also, new The Thick Of It starting soon.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

Damn, can no longer edit previous post, but just found out how 'soon' new The Thick Of It is starting... 8th September, 9.45...:woo: now the tough decision, to do a marathon of them on the DVDs I have, or on Netflix? :?:

[Viv 14]

Looks as though i MAY get into countryside on my bike after all today. the weather forecasters have moved all the heavy rain to monday. to be replaced with light showers. Must be great to get away with so much incompetence.

Sounds awesome either way!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

Must be great to get away with so much incompetence.

and I suppose you have a 100% record of predicting things in the future. Fact is that climate change is making weather patterns less and less like they ever were in history in similar circumstances, which is bound to make the weather harder to predict. Get over it and move on.

[Viv 14]

I shan't get over it. There were quite LITERALLY four (I repeat FOUR) different forecasters for the same day = today. Seriously, get back to meterology school.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

then let's see YOU have a go Viv... we know you lie down when rain is coming so you should have a good start there.

[Viv 14]

I couldn't do any worse. Quite literally. Today is predicted SUN for afternoon. Looking at the sky it appears more grey cloud, with a chance of some showers ...

The BBC have sun forecast

Scottish TV have more showers developing

The Met Office tell me heavy rain for the whole day (already inaccurate)

The BBC main weather site have heavy showers developing for around 1600 hours, even though there TV channel forecasts bright sun.

And you wonder why people get pissed off.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

New The Thick Of It Trailer released, along with a title for it.

:woo:

[Viv 14]

Wound up unexpectedly in the countryside yesterday... Nice bit o sun where there were supposed to be heavy showers.

Also, me and a local farmer have an ongoing mystery. There is a grassy bit where I sit - all flattened, then we have discovered another two? Yet I am the ONLY person to be seen in this area. The farm thinks it may be DEER seeking a hiding place to sleep.

PLUS, should be getting on the kids' flumes later on. They have brand new water jets, and I can hardly wait.

[Nik B. 10]

...why does Viv always write her posts as though they're appearing in the sun?

:doubt:

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

Aspirations of working for them... judging by her headline writing, I suggest that she actually is an undercover Scum 'journo'.

[Viv 14]

I suggest that she actually is an undercover Scum 'journo'.

So I've finally been sussed then. :-(

[R94N 10]

Sometimes I LIKE to ADD random words in CAPITAL LETTERS to my sentences AS WELL.

[Viv 14]

The WEATHER !! Again!! There are, once again, FIVE different forecasts. I am working like lightning this morning, coz I want to go out on my bike. The Met Office tell me I won't be out on my bike past 4 pm, so am having to race to be in the countryside no later than 1 pm.

F* Saturdays.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz 11]

Your world must be something like the reverse of this

Also, thought you weren't listening to the MET Office, seeing as they, in your own words, 'always f***ing get it wrong'...

Also you got confused in threads again, surely your ranting should go in the Sucks thread?

[Nik B. 10]

One week to Uni!

:woohoo:

[Viv 14]

Good luck. Hopefully you will still be on here. anyhow, had a great day. followed advice of the met office and got out the countryside just in time before it chucked it down. Rest of the afternoon was brilliant..... Sunny, good music and nice company. Good scenery. also, when it did start raining, had a really random conversation about food for cows ... Cost of buying v cost of making. great day, and i love the met office again. plus, i think i am quite well prepared for a meeting on monday, with lots of stuff to ask about.
