Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

load of bollocks the old age pension is £113 a week for millions or less then topped up to £ 130 a week min wage over £ 250 a week
those are facts not bloody fiction .

if posters do not like facts then its pointless to post .

Yep PENSIONERS bleeding the country dry.

They have loads of money, free bus passes, and get TV for nothing, I wish I could get SKY for nothing.

They get a £300 pound xmas bonus and spend it getting pissed down the pub but it should be for the gas fire.

And a £10 giro for a bottle of Whiskey.

They get PENSIONER RATES with plumbers, joiners, and Electricians.

In fish shops they can get smaller portions at cheaper prices.

They get their hair cut for next to nothing.

Theyhave special clubs and pay nowt and get a big dinner every day with a big pudding aswel.

They get free tea and coffee in the Hospitals and free prescriptions.

Make no wonder this country is skint its the pensioners robbing us blind that are doing it, they caused the deficit and the recession.

Gf you havn't been feeding her indoors the banana skins by any chance , if so stop doing it ,i tried it they will wear you out .

Aye gf, pensioners eh? Shoot the bastards! God help you if you grow old. Clueless doesn't cover it.

LOL Jimmy she got fed up waiting while I was bollocking sorry arguing with TANKER. Shes gone off down the gym sulking.

Bloody pensioners, root of all problems in this country.

Chris Chris even you can see through my post above surely.......if not make no wonder you watch Everton....... snore.

This is amazing during my time with the DSS only a few over 45 worked for them. A complete change now. Must be because they are paying pensioner rates.


Young? Unemployed? Don’t Expect A Job At The DWP

mcvey1“I have always said that I will do everything I can to help equip young people with the skills they need to get their foot on the ladder – everything I can to encourage employers to open their doors to young people – and everything I can to support the youth of today to get on in life.” Esther McVey responding to employment statistics February 2014

Despite endless government initiatives aimed at bringing down youth unemployment, just 1% of staff at the DWP are under 25 in a workforce that numbers almost 100,000.

The shocking admission comes in the department’s annual equality report which also shows that only 4.3% of DWP workers are between the ages of 25 and 29. These figures come despite the Employment Minister Esther McVey repeatedly trying to tell us that young unemployed people are on of her ‘key concerns’. Turns out she’s far more concerned about forcing young people to work in Poundland for no pay then she is about using her department to actually give people a real job.

Whilst anyone under 25 who wants to work at the Jobcentre should probably spend some time experimenting with drugs for a while first, these are damning statistics for a government that pretends to care about youth unemployment. The truth is that just like every other grasping employer, the DWP has no interest in providing any genuine help for young people to get started in a career. Why would they, when they can staff their offices with young people on unpaid ‘work experience’ instead of actually paying them wages.

LOL he he....ohh so true......

Whilst anyone under 25 who wants to work at the Jobcentre should probably spend some time experimenting with drugs for a while first,

you're relatively young sticky, for it's only comparatively recently that the benefits of age + experience have been recognised ...... older people also don't need maternity/paternity leave and may also be very happy to work part time if that's what suits the employer ..... they are also less likely to flit from job to job

True but I still think young people who havent worked should be a priority. Proper jobs not workfare.

ps, surely you could see my p take post on TANKER above, I just got fed up of answering his questions and him not answering any of my questions so i thought ohh sod it be as ignorant as him.

Looks like a Malaysian 777 has been shot down with missile over Ukraine/Russian bordet. It had 295 people on board; all dead.

Whos in the frame Hays???? Ruskys

TANKER

Do you mean the Winter Allowence or the heating benefit ?

Pro-Russian paramilitary , the ones that shot down the Urkranian helicopter, i would say

Ohhhhhhhhhh sounds serious.

Maybe Russians. It is suggested that the rebels don't have the capability as it was at 33,000 feet.

The Russians wouldn't do it...what possible gain?

Maybe a mistaken plane?

Unlikely to be a mistake, if you have those sort of missiles, you normally have the kit with which to use them.
