encouraging people to to stay on the dole and drain the life blood of this country while the tax payers cover the costs.

Allowing the little scrotes on the streets to terrorise and destroy because the police and courts can't give them what they need...which is good a slap!


So you do see both causes after all, great stuff! Smile
It does wind me up that as taxpayers we have to pay for the dole scroungers etc, but it winds me up just as much that I paid for that million quid bonus for a banker, or that limo for an MP...its equally wrong and should equally be stopped.

The two issues and groups are not the same thing, and I don't think we are dealing with an army of clones here. Some of them are just scumbags out for a riot, others possibly have a point..sadly that point is being trodden on by the dickheads setting fire to busses. 2011 110 USW

Lets look at the quality of folk that are doing this:



Is 4 pairs of shoes (2 pairs are even the same) and a bottle of drink really worth either A. getting arrested, or B. The dignity lost when you are all over the news?.... That is right, they don't even understand the concept of dignity.



What a stand up citizen. Well dressed, hair combed, unable to keep his tounge in his mouth.... WTF- This person should have been put down at birth!!!

Glad I don't have to live in the UK.

Discipline, respect, a mindset of 'I'll work for something if I want it' - all comes with the above.

Shocked WOAH Don't send them my way!! Shocked

Joking aside- yes it will instill an air of discipline, respect, and pride in them all.

Either that or stop their benefits and let them starve.

the second option would be cheaper and probably the best one actually. The planet is too overpopulated to be carrying the like of them along. The rest of us have to work hard for our little luxuries

my wife, who i am slowly converting to Defender ownership, actually said it was a pity we did'nt have the 90 down there as the roads were built for it and we could have filled it up with wine etc to take home.

now planning a driving holiday for next year........ Thumbs Up BM52

Do I need to expand on that one? Seriously f****d off today.



ONLY today?



We seem to be continuously a tad annoyed at the banks!



Brendan


I'm even angrier at them today than I was yesterday. We better rename this a grumpy young man thread...cos thats what I'm becoming!!!


Yep I am still young and grumpy Rolling with laughter

Banks are a PITA

They have admitted they cocked up on charges! Yes what is new. Apparently they cocked up on Forex charges and are putting charges back and are going to recharge us. My guess no matter what they will charge us more!

We told manager that we were going to change banks and he did not care less!


Brendan


They Censored me off in that if you are having an kind of difficulties, they just rob you blind with charges etc and will not help you. Even when you try to pay stuff they refuse to take your money! They are very much geared towards expoliting the poorer sector of society whilst further lining their own pockets. It really is sickening.



Continuing the anti bank theme.

Pay cash into business account get charged 2%

Pay cash into personal account get charged 0%. Transfer immeadeaditely same amount from personal account into business account get charged 0%. However bank does twice the work for same outcome and zero charges.


BACS less then £10,000 into another account it will reach it same day.

BACS £10,001 into another account it will take 3 days? WHY?

Figure those two out!


Brendan

I'm with Lloyds, so they could be doing anything...
I wonder when I will get my tax money refunded, you know, the bit we all paid to keep them afloat? I wonder why we didn't do that when the Rover company was facing the axe. Oh now I remember, cos sacking loads of working men is fine, but you can't allow the rich to lose out.... Evil or Very Mad 2011 110 USW

Despite being registered with the TPS, we still get those naffing automated calls that offer to wipe out 100% of your debt or mis-sold PPI etc etc ..

Well.. tonight I'd had enough...... We record our calls at work and now the switchboard has closed down, all out of hours calls come through to me......

After the initial bit, when the phone starts ringing, skip to 1.25 otherwise you'll be waiting a minute or so.

WARNING - STRONG'ISH LANGUAGE SO BEST PLAYED WHEN NO KIDDIES OR EASILY OFFENDED'S PRESENT

At least the bloke saw the funny side of it... which kinda cheered me up.....
