don't people have work to go to!

12 Oct 2004

I am just about to go on a late shift, noticed loads of people on here, was wondering what people do, do people log on at work, or are all the benefit scroungers sex maniacs?

12 Oct 2004

usually log on at work just to see what's happening, but today I've got an exam in 3 hours and 50 mins. :eeek: :uhoh:

12 Oct 2004

I only work part time and the rest of the time i'm on here or having sex!

12 Oct 2004

Well i am trying to get me house work done !.........this is my tea brack! rolleyes

12 Oct 2004

Not on benefits and never have been and I take exception to the insinuation that if we're not at work right now, then we must be scroungers evil

I am lucky in that I work the hours to suit myself - which is mostly afternoons. However, if Jon earned enough for me to pack up work or if we won the lottery, I wouldn't work at all - just sit at my pc all day pervin on here wink

Some of us work weekends and have days off in the week !!! I also resent the insinuation that if I'm not at work then I must be a scrounger. I probably work more hours than you do !!! :shock: :shock: :shock: rolleyes

Some of us are 'housewives' lol (although I don't particularly like that term) Looing after house and kids can be a full time job...
btw.. I used to be on benefits.. and I certainly wouldn't have classed myself as a 'scrounger'.. everyones circumstances are very different!!!

12 Oct 2004

Off sick,anyone shift this cloud of my head and I'll willingly go into work.

12 Oct 2004

12 Oct 2004

Cafettiere of coffee, chocolate cake, feet up and radio on - All I need now is some customers lol
Seriously though it isn't always quiet and I worked somewhere in the region of 49 hours last week with 3 days off

12 Oct 2004

yep and some of us are on a holiday from work, so go off on your late shift and have fun myself i'm off down the pub in a while , ah it's a hard life

12 Oct 2004

Also off sick (just incase anyone hadn't noticed). Also work part time. Also work weekends so have day off in the week. When I am working, that is.

12 Oct 2004

Flavio 12000,surely you've noticed that the 9-5 Monday-Friday thing is a tad old hat for a lot of us is a quick peek at the Forum for me before I scoot off to do an 8 hour shift.I was here so much yesterday because I had a rare day off that wasn't full of STUFF to older I get the busier I seem to be,I'm sure many will be familiar with that feeling!

12 Oct 2004

I've just got back from a riding lesson.
I've taken a week off work to do all (some of) those "little" jobs I can't do from 200 miles away.
(but dividing my time between being on here or having riding lessons)
Isn't choice a wonderful thing. I choose to see the people here as pals, regardles of their employment status!
And I agree, Libra-Love. Nice Avatar wink

erm . . . . best stick one down on the scroungers! :lol2:
technically, i'd say i've been off sick, but the dole don't really accept that particular sick note, so statistically, i'm a scrounger. ;)

Never had any state benefits in my life.
But
I'm a pensioner - but before you all switch me off - I was in a motorbike accident while on duty and I was offered my pension early. I retired at the age of 41. I am fully recovered and I don't regret one minute of my freedom.
A free life is truly wonderful.

After several years of being 'home-maker' to ungrateful 'bread-winner', I chose to go on benefits to be a Full Time Mother. While that may be seen as 'scrounging', just remember all the quality time I've spent with my child when in 20 years time she comes up with a cure for cancer or world peace, or maybe even a new snazzy logo for Asda...
... Anyway! I'm now a full time student. My profile says "Professional Tax Dodger" 'cos I know how so many under-educated people hate students :twisted: but also, remember that one day, all this money I've 'scrounged' I WILL be paying back AND with my posh degree (First with Honours, obviously!) there's a great possibilty I will be in a higher tax bracket than you, so will be paying a helluva lot more out for the same services.
Nowwho's the scrounger? Eh? Eh?
*** end of rant ***
BTW, I'm off sick today.
