The famous Tyne bridge, which proudly appears on our label, was built in 1929 and was the prototype for the sydney Harbour bridge in Australia. Good job they could'nt copy our beer though. Newcastle Brown Ale is the yen an' army after all.
Quite simply unique, the only one of it's kind.

Good example, my one thread.:rolleyes:

Can't this crap just be merged so I can ignore it easier? I try my best to not say anything, I really do, but sometimes this banal shit makes me want to puke blood.

Then puke blood and put me on ignore :rolleyes:

You're like them people who write into points of view "I watched a prog last night that I thought was disgusting"

I personally think it's really clever how the "Ugh." has so many different meanings, it's deep in it's meaning and carry's a subliminal message which I think draws people to it and can induce emotions ranging from laughter to confusion.

One can only aspire to the lofty realms of being able to post what is written on their beer can/bottle.

In the real world it would be called "verbal diarrhea", what is the internet term for such an outpouring of posting whatever enters one head?

[Jon L. Obscene]

I think the correct terminology is "Spam".
I actually thought it was quite an interesting fact myself. But then again I'm easily impressed with such snippets of information, you never know, one day it might win me a million quid :01:

Nah, that makes me sound like a zombie.

Let's see.... people post in the lounge sporadically, and the comments about the lounge being dead abound. Someone makes a bunch of posts, gets things going, and all of a sudden they've taken over? Everyone has been guilty of it at one time or another, even those complaining, so what's the big deal? If you don't want to read it, either skip past it or put people on ignore and be done with it. To some it's interesting reading, to others it's useless spam. The same could be said about every bloody post in the lounge (including this one), or anywhere else on the board for that matter.

Yeah, you guys are right. The best way to deal with an attention whore is to ignore them. Shame there isn't an option to ignore threads started by specific users, that would solve a lot of problems.

I suppose the only other thing to do is pray for some sort of industrial accident to cut the offender's hands off thus leaving him/her unable to use the internet. But that would be wrong, so I would never do that.

Why would a dictionary definition from a dubious site define what context I was using the word in? You do understand how language works? That words can carry more than one meaning, ffs I even informed you that I was using it in a different context. Getting me to read a dictionary entry won't ever change what I meant.

There is no sudden realization that I'm a better person than attention whores like yourself, that's been something I've always known. Well, at least I've made you think about some of your posts recently (in as much as you are capable of coherent thought) and kept you confined to one thread.

Good luck job-hunting btw, I understand that working in a shop proved too difficult for you (can't imagine how all those teenagers/old dears do this obviously demanding job), hopefully you'll find something that you are capable of.

Well, off I go then. To collect my wages from my highly demanding retail job and then off to study at uni, how do I do it all?:rolleyes:

Or maybe I'll go back to manual labour..........Oh wait, should I give you a google link to that?

Jonno :cool:

Erm, I do pay tax through my job. You know, the exact same type of job you found too difficult and had to quit. So really I should go into manual labour if anyone as I have a proven track record of being able to do even simple jobs whereas you balk at the pressure of one of the easiest jobs going round.

In fact, I would hazard to say that I have probably done more heavy labour jobs in my past work history than you given the fact that I would never quit a job because it was "too hard" or the boss was a big fat meany. Actually, come to think of it I'm probably more qualified to talk about heavy labour than you.

So you relax mate, you obviously need it what with being crap and all. Don't worry, my taxes will pay for your housing benefit and JSA if that paper round job doesn't pan out.

[Jon L. Obscene]

Ah good afternoon sir :)

You have more heavy labour hours than me huh? sorry mate picking up shit with a litter picker and carrying a new pad of paper to an office does'nt really count :rolleyes:

And you don't have to worry about jsa or anything, you obviously don't know much about employment law etc, you're not entitled to claim if you walk out ;) duh :rolleyes:

What kind of shop do you work in? what do you sell?........paper?.....pens?.....toilet tissue? :)

Well, you can if you're clever enough which obviously excludes you. One of my "pen-pusher" jobs was working as an advisor to people having problems getting their JSA. I have, in the past, managed to get people their benefits despite quitting* or being fired. Sometimes it takes a little effort, so not for the work-shy like yourself who pretends he once worked in heavy labour.


What kind of shop do you work in? what do you sell?........paper?.....pens?.....toilet tissue? :)


Didn't you used to work in a paper shop until the pressure got to you. What was the problem? Too much counting involved on the tills? Working out Best Before Dates gave you headaches?

Ok first if you're fired you ARE entitled to jsa, not if you walked out, and second if you helped someone get it after walking out of their own free will then you are just adding to the increasing cost of benefit spoungers, also that would be fraud.
I simply wont claim it because I make my own way in this world, I don't want help from the goverment, that way I can stay proud that I look after myself :)
So in effect you help people scam money off the tax payer? bet you're popular amoungst the workers then.

Yeah thats right, cept it was'nt the counting that gave me headaches.......it was the mouldy cheese made me wanna puke.
Also the money is a bit low for my liking, having now thought about it it's a childs wage really.


Spar, btw.

Ah the good old Spar shop, burst onto our roads and into our garages.
So you just put stuff on shelves and take money? yeah I thought about a job in a managed shop like that but I preffered one where I could decided what to price stuff at and make descisions that will make a higher profit etc :)

If a person has been forced into a position where they have no choice to leave then I see no reason for them not to be allowed to claim benefits. In fact the JSA sees it pretty much this way as well. Unfortunately, with your narrow mindedness you only see things in black and white so are unable to comprehend that there are people who leave jobs for differing reasons. Remember, they're not all work shy like you.

In fact, given what I've read about your situation (the countless threads that bore sane people rigid) I would be fairly confident of getting you onto benefits. And I bet you'd take it as well, this not getting help from the government is a sad macho thing insecure blokes say. You'd snap that money up in a heartbeat.

The scam thing is a bit low considering you claim to be a builder. The biggest scam/scum artists of all time.


Yeah thats right, cept it was'nt the counting that gave me headaches.......it was the mouldy cheese made me wanna puke.
Also the money is a bit low for my liking, having now thought about it it's a childs wage really.

It certainly is a child's wage. But is an ideal job for teenagers to get experience, for students to help them through uni and for older people to supplement the main income of the household. Exactly why were you working for pittance all this time?:unsure:

As you have aptly proven yourself incapable of working at even the basic level of retail I think it would be unwise for you to think about pursuing a career in shop management. I mean, your business sense isn't up to much if you can be ripped off so easily. Personally, I like the basic nature of my job because I have more pressing concerns with my studies.

I have a uniform but my boss is quite understanding about my need to not wear it.

No actually I would'nt, not because I'm macho or any such crap, but because I don't want anyone to pay my bills and feed me, I'm independant.
If I had a family it might be different, but as I am I will look after myself :)
I also know I could fight for a claim, I also know I could look into unfair dissmissal, but I don't want to.


The scam thing is a bit low considering you claim to be a builder. The biggest scam/scum artists of all time.

Ah I see, so you watch an awful lot of tv then.
Sorry mate, I've never scammed anyone, I've always been honest and most of the time saved people money by telling them about jobs they do not need doing or can be fixed rather than replaced.
Try getting your facts right before making wild acusations ;)


It certainly is a child's wage. But is an ideal job for teenagers to get experience, for students to help them through uni and for older people to supplement the main income of the household. Exactly why were you working for pittance all this time?:unsure:

I worked for a pittance because I enjoyed my job, I looked forward to going to work. To me if I enjoy the job I don't mind working for £6 per hour :)
I prefer happiness over financial gain while possible.


As you have aptly proven yourself incapable of working at even the basic level of retail I think it would be unwise for you to think about pursuing a career in shop management. I mean, your business sense isn't up to much if you can be ripped off so easily. Personally, I like the basic nature of my job because I have more pressing concerns with my studies.

Erm......did I say I was pursuing a career in management? what I was actually saying is the job I done was that of a manager, I left cos I fell out with my boss, and he fucked the place up, takings down by more than half compared to when me and another staff member were running it. no other reason.


I have a uniform but my boss is quite understanding about my need to not wear it.

Awww you should wear it, you'd look cute in a little red pinny with a name tag
"Hello I'm Cheese and I'll be your checkout assistant today"
It's all to add that personal touch :)

Ah so you did'nt read this bit of my post then?


and second if you helped someone get it after walking out of their own free will

:rolleyes:
What you're talking about amounts to unfair dissmissal.


In fact, given what I've read about your situation (the countless threads that bore sane people rigid) I would be fairly confident of getting you onto benefits. And I bet you'd take it as well, this not getting help from the government is a sad macho thing insecure blokes say. You'd snap that money up in a heartbeat.

No actually I would'nt, not because I'm macho or any such crap, but because I don't want anyone to pay my bills and feed me, I'm independant.
If I had a family it might be different, but as I am I will look after myself :)
I also know I could fight for a claim, I also know I could look into unfair dissmissal, but I don't want to.


The scam thing is a bit low considering you claim to be a builder. The biggest scam/scum artists of all time.

Ah I see, so you watch an awful lot of tv then.

After having read that nonsense I can now safely say that:

- You know nothing of employment law. Which shouldn't trouble you too much with a life of unemployment beckoning. However you stunning lack of knowledge of the benefits system will lead to a life of sleeping rough, drinking white cider and smelling badly. So you've had some practise on the last two things, eh?

- You think being obtuse is a good discussion tactic.

- That you have trouble remembering your own lies. Suddenly you were the manager of this little shop you claim to have worked in? Come on, admit it, you're exaggerating your role aren't you? Yes, you are.

- You have a thing for men in uniforms.

So someone who walks out of their own free will is entitled to benefits?
I think I could prove you wrong there :)

I'll thank you to note I am a reletively normal shape :)


- That you have trouble remembering your own lies. Suddenly you were the manager of this little shop you claim to have worked in? Come on, admit it, you're exaggerating your role aren't you? Yes, you are.

Lets see, I used to program the tils, order the goods, negotiate deals with suppliers, work out hours/wages for staff, make paper bills for customers who have not paid and chase them up, organize the refit of the shop......no I don't think I'm exagerating at all actually :)


- You have a thing for men in uniforms.

Yes thats true :D especially white coats :shifty:

I single-handedly run my shop doing 26 hour shifts 8 times a week. I do the wages, the ordering, stock rotation, banking, security and make the pasties. All this and we don't have a kettle.

I accrue one minute of holiday time for every decade I work and if I take time off sick I am put down (in an ol'yella type way). I have a name badge but no shirt so I have to pierce the pin through my chest.

This would be of my own free will, just as if I stayed at the job because I liked doing it.

Given the circumstances, should I deem that sexual favours to a miwltf was entirely unacceptable, then I would be entitled to benefit.

If you had been hired as a gigolo to the manager's mother then maybe you'd be in trouble. You'd also be living in Holland, most likely the fictional depiction in Rob Scheider's European Gigolo.

I am glad we don't have universal healthcare.

If you are able bodied and don't want to work (or not at least are trying to get work), you should rot.

Yeah need another edit mate, cos the bit in brackets still does'nt work with that sentence.
I think what you mean is "those who wont work should rot. Those who are looking for work are different and ok"

I left long before my college started. 9 months roughly. I just told the JSA I had decided to change my career prospects. Within weeks I was able to claim benefits. So there we have an example of someone leaving a job of their own free will and being able to claim benefits.

Another example would be if an employer was asking you to do extra hours or less hours, you could leave then and be able to claim benefits. Known people who have done that, signed on until they get a new (and better) job.


I especially like the way you're now just avoiding questions and points to simply take teh piss, big congratulations to you :01:

Junno, I shoot down all your points with ease. You're just too obtuse to accept that, if you had made any valid points I would accept them. Unfortunately for you you have neither the intelligence nor the imagination to come up with anything other than intentionally misunderstanding my own posts.

What imaginary book is this?

And how am I "scamming the system" when I went in there in all honesty and told them my plans? Methinks you don't understand the system at all, we have ample evidence elsewhere that you don't understand simple things like how holiday time is accrued or proper business arrangements for doing building work, how is this any different?


And just cos you've proved you have scammed the system does'nt change the actual rule/law it states in the book.

All in all, this comment just shows up your black and white view of the world and your lack of knowledge on the subject. The rules are a lot more complicated than merely "If you leave your job of your own free will you cannot claim benefits".

I'm quite glad you're chickening out of this debate because I really don't won't to be repeating myself and making you look any greater the fool.

I'll actually semi conceed to the jsa argument.

It's likely you'll be turned down for full jsa......


Hardship provision

You may be able to get a reduced amount of JSA under the hardship provision. You can do this if your JSA cannot be paid under the normal rules for any of the following reasons:

* you are not available for work
* you are not actively seeking work
* you do not have a Jobseeker's Agreement
* there is a doubt about whether any of these apply to you
* you unreasonably make yourself unemployed. For example, you leave your job voluntarily without good reason, you lose a job because of misconduct or you turn down a job offer

But you can possibly claim a smaller amount on Hardship basis.

You have provided just a snippet of information from a booklet or somesuch designed to help those claiming support. The actual rules governing this are much more complicated and lenghty, so it neither supports what I say, debunks it or half-supports it.

In fact, the leaflets that I have seen that kind of information in (with the bullet points) actually have a disclaimer saying that the information provided is only for reference.

I know for a fact, through my experience of working for a advice agency akin to the Citizen's Advice Bureau that you can claim full JSA after leaving a job of your own free will. Based on circumstances sure, but far, far more lenient than you seem to imply it is. You could just say you were unhappy with your previous employment.

In fact in two years of working there I can't recall doing more than a handful of hardship provision forms.

btw what is your experience of the JSA system if you claim you'd never use the benefits system?

[manker]

have a disclaimer saying that the information provided is only for reference.Well, Jonno did refer to it.


The above is a classic example of how to win an imaginary pwnage point by taking one part of a post completely out of context. Experts at this stupid tactic include Billy Dean, Riodeleo, whypikonme and UKResident.

[Jon L. Obscene]

I never said I've never claimed, I said I refuse to claim.

I claimed once years ago, I had been in full time employment for 5 years but aparently I was'nt entitled to anything because I left of my own free will.

Thats my experience.
Granted it would seem the laws have change.

But you cannot deny that if you leave work of free will you have less chance of claiming jsa, so my argument does have validity.

Anyway, I said I semi conceed.

Jonno :cool:

Jonno, you're confusing 'free will' with 'no good reason'.

@Manker.... No I'm not, I had good reason when I left and tried to claim, they said I left of my own free will reguardless. Because I did'nt report it or follow up on the reasons I left I had no claim for jsa. Hence me saying about the rules have changed.

The thing with the JSA is that they do get things wrong, they are not experts on the system because it is so complicated. If the job-centres across the country are anything like Plymouth's then the level of competence of the workers on the front desk/line is very low (remember that's the job no-one wants to do within the benefits agency, I pity them. The general public is revolting). It hasn't changed much in 5 years, I reckon you were fobbed off and if you had done some research with an agency like the one I worked for there may have been a way to start a claim. But that's pure conjecture on my part, reading your latest post I get the feeling there was more going on than you are revealing.
