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.

What a useless lot you are!

If you can't tell me how to claim some benefits on here, do you know another site that can?

Tanker is correct. But you can claim pension credit, housing benefit and council tax reduction if your total income is low enough.

Exec - we did at least try to help you with your door knob!

Are you encouraging Mauel to have more children.

God forbid!

Anybody can claim any benefit they want.

Wether they qualify for it is a different thing, but approx £13 billion of Benefits go unclaimed every year according to last audited figures.

To claim any benefit go here..........

breaking News,

POOR PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK....

Tory Peer says.

Pathetic and OUT OF TOUCH.

i have no idea of the context ..... though the comment is accurate, i'm afraid it is pretty much applicable across all social strata nowadays especially when it comes to eating on tight budget

That's wrong --------- some of them are to lazy to cook , funny how poor people are grossly overweight ? easy to buy junk food , got no time to cook they are unempolyed

The Coalition is withholding billions that could be used to support the NHS 8/12/2014

It seems we owe thanks to Labour’s former deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, for discovering a revealing accounting measure by the Coalition Government, meaning Chancellor George Osborne has yet again failed to cover his a**e.

According to Mr Prescott, figures from the House of Lords Library show the government spent £106 billion from National Insurance (NI) contributions last year – the benefit system received £85 billion and the NHS got £21 billion.

But he was “stunned” to find the Government last year held back nearly £30 billion.

“National ­Insurance money can only be used for the NHS or benefits,” Mr Prescott was quoted as saying. “So since he can’t spend it on anything else and chooses not to fund ­hospitals, the Chancellor lets it sit there.”

Mr Prescott recommended that the surplus should be used to help shore up a buckling NHS – but it seems clear that there is enough, not only to clear the health service’s debt but also to reverse all the devastating changes to the benefit system as well.

Let us hope a future Labour government remembers how to do the right thing.

Doesnt look like fatty Pickles needs to rely on Food Banks.

BREAKING NEWS...Tory Peer forced to apologise after claiming people are hungry because the poor can't cook

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/local/darlington/11652277.Tory_Peer_forced_to_apologise_after_claiming_people_are_hungry_because_the_poor_can_t_cook/

people in general certainly buy very badly indeed; you only need to look at their trollies to see loads of fizzy drinks, biscuits, cakes, crisps, chocolate and other sweets etc

however, most people haven't a clue how to make things stretch, make highly nutritious and cheap soups, to cook/eat cheap cuts let alone know about the nutritional value of pulses (protein) or even pasta (just carbs)

it wouldn't even dawn on most to make their own biscuits or cakes - if you really deem those a necessity - which are generally very easy and of course cost a fraction of what they do in a packet

If you and your wife are working a 50 hour week or more, how on earth do you find the time to prat about like you suggest Cyners?
