government finally right :D

[laura_g]

My blood was boiling this mo did anyone else see that couple on GMTV who won £100,000 on a scratchcard blew it and are now wanting to claim of benefits again, but at last the council has refused it, was so annoying the bloke said he couldnt work because he suffers from frozen shoulder and the lady couldnt work because she has a bad hip what a lame excuse :wall:

[djrem]

"do you want fries with that?"

shoulder seems fine with that job. hip too.

[endlesstimes]

what a pair of mugs. Supposedly they blew the 100G's on a campavan and a car or something tossers. Surely you would invest the money?

[djrem]

i lol'd when they claimed putting it in the bank wasnt a good idea. hahha

[lew15]

you may be able to understand not putting it into property atm with the fluctuating market, however, making sound investments in land, shares or even putting it in an ISA SURELY would be a safer bet than spending it on a £40,000 car and £60,000 campervan...

they should have used £500 to hire a financial advisor and another £500 to hire me to give them a slap and tell them to work! lol....

[lew15]

Sorry, IDEA!!!!

why didn't they spend it on making their hips and shoulders better? dickheads! lol

[laura_g]

well the bloke said he has been a driver all his life but cant drive because of his shoulder yet he got a 12k car yeah ok then :homme:

[Peejous]

crazy crazy people, cant blame them for trying though lol

[danzman1991]

The UK is full of these worthless twats

[Chris]

They should have spent some of the money of some education , then they could have got a job in an office... don't need your shoulder or hip to work in an office!!

Chris :)

[endlesstimes]

People that dont work and dont have a valid reason not to f**kin piss me off when we are the ones that pay for their living grrrr i could rant allday about this lol.

[hellonpluto]

A good question that the interviewer asked "Do you feel its fair that other people should pay your rent?"

Muppet says "Yes"

What a c u next tuesday!

[Hanuman]

Tell you what I actually think these people near enuff in my mind deserve to die or be thrown into a war torn environment like iraq and left to sort them selfs out, this country is a joke, we diss imigrants which fair does is a major PROBLEM yet the ones who come here legally and work paying tax helping out the country get jip, and we have scum like these 2 claiming out money, and people who have kids claiming all the benefit.

I myself have just had a new born baby im on a measy 15k a year about average wage, and the lass is on about 11k doing a nursery job (wellllll underpaid) and we get 18bar a week help which if we didn’t live at my house with me ma would be well and TRULY in big financial trouble, when looking through tax forms you get the same amount for tax credits if your household income ranges from 20k - 60k, what a joke, you telling me a household on 60k should be getting the same amount of help as a household with 20k , so 1 house will have (someone on a nice 40k job the other 20k) 2 nice beemers and a nice luxurious lifestyle where as the other like myself will have a cheap diesel mondeo just to get from a-b safely and as cheaply as possible and having to live with my own family as we cant afford to move out its shocking….. Cant stand these people who claim my tax causing a strain on my own life, I really think a lot of people in this country really really are SCUMMY BSTDS no other way to describe them I just hope I myself never get into a conflict with any of them.

[Hanuman]

shes got a "bad hip" so she has TROUBLE with walking, so you telling me people who are actually legless (IN WHEEL CHAIRS) do not have jobs??? hes got a "frozen shoulder" yeaaaaaaaaaa ok then

[laura_g]

what fooks me off is that people probs earn more in benefits then i do in my full time 9k per annum job

[Karl]

9k!?!?!
are you serious?!
wtf you do, work 20h a week?

[laura_g]

no fooking 9 till 5 monday to friday as a trainee p.a whats even worse is that i work with the polish and then earn double then me grrr

[Peejous]

no fooking 9 till 5 monday to friday as a trainee p.a whats even worse is that i work with the polish and then earn double then me grrr

Trainee PA - best way to get promotion is to s*ck off the boss iirc.
I remember those days well.

[laura_g]

his an arse though he creeps me out and moans about everything if its not done straight away cant be bothered to put effort into a crap paying job the only good thing is that im an apprentice so have to go college

[Karl]

Id quit.
How hard is it to be a PA.
My Gf is a PA, and she does have/know alot about Law, buying and selling houses etc..
but shes on 17k p/a.

[laura_g]

well tbh they bulled about the stuff i would be doin before i started the job all i do is create information and start packs to potential clients n transfer calls, but like i said they pay for my college course so when i have completed that i will ask for a pay rise and if im not given one im out the door

[Karl]

Agreed.
whats 9k p/a?
£650 a month?

[laura_g]

yeah thats how much i get, then i have my loan and board so pretty much skint for the next 4 weeks

[Karl]

Ouch,
I think my outgoings a month come to nearly that..

Have you not stopped to consider you could be earning 12k+ a year flipping burgers?!

[Mark51]

does no-one feel sorry for them?

tbh some people have no concept of money and these two are a prime example of this. they were given a chance for a better life but have wasted it on luxary's that they didnt really need.
they couldnt afford to buy a house with the money (they did say this) but my thoughts are that they had alot of money even if they used £60k as a deposit on a small house and then used their money that they would spend on rent to make up the extra payments on the mortgage.

[laura_g]

yeah i have loads of my mates work at asda and that and earn loads its just i think the job i got now is a stepping stone to a much better job in the future just gotta live in poverty at the moment and hope for better in the future

[Karl]

does no-one feel sorry for them?



How can you feel sorry for someone who has just wasted a golden opportunity of 100k!?

[Peejous]

I know what i'd do with 100k

"100k on red please"
"and the winner is....... black"
"boo :("

[laura_g]

if i had 100k i would buy a run down place and do it up then sell it

[Mark51]

yeah i have loads of my mates work at asda and that and earn loads its just i think the job i got now is a stepping stone to a much better job in the future just gotta live in poverty at the moment and hope for better in the future

i took a big pay cut for a job that had better prospects. i went from been on £17k to £12k for a year and now im on nearly three times as much now

How can you feel sorry for someone who has just wasted a golden opportunity of 100k!?

not at all mate. i just think they seemed like a pair of people that didnt have a clue about money and thats proabaly becasue they come from a back ground that has never had cash to spare

[Karl]

Someone that gets given 100k and has no clue how to invest etc if they are poor,
deserves to be poor forever.

Are they that dumb?

[Peejous]

pair of people that didnt have a clue about money

Common sense would tell you to put it in the bank though! You'd think if they've never had money, and then all of a sudden they get some they would look after it like it was Jesus!

[laura_g]

i took a big pay cut for a job that had better prospects. i went from been on £17k to £12k for a year and now im on nearly three times as much now

thats what im sort of hopin for when i have my nvq

[Mark51]

im not trying to defend them, by a long way but you cant just brand them as idiots as there is always two sides to every story

[Karl]

PA's dont get paid 30k p/a Laura.

[AdamW]

9k a year....shit son.

Bet your life is rocking

[Karl]

im not trying to defend them, by a long way but you cant just brand them as idiots as there is always two sides to every story

..I think its fair to tarnish these people as idiots.
Never had any money.
All of a sudden 100k drops into their laps.
They spend it on shit.
Theyre broke again.

[laura_g]

PA's dont get paid 30k p/a Laura.

lol well the boss is an idiot so who knows

[Robb]

Soulless is your Mrs working to be a solicitor or legal executive or whatever?

Mine sounds like shes doing something similar (sexretary) but on 18k+.

[Hanuman]

dnt be so stupid...

they were obviously quite happy living off the benefits they were originally on and happy with there lifestyle... they got 100k cash in hand so they used it as a BONUS, aware that once it had ran out they would go back to the orignal plan of life BE SCUM AND LIVE OFF PEOPLES TAX WHEN THEY DONT NEED IT< but with luxiries.

however i cannot see how they spent 100k ? they bought a second hand mondeo for 16k? how second hand was that 5months or something? and a motorhome where the fk is the rest of the money gone. even if she had no legs she could get a wheel chair and get a job in MILLLLLIONS of places, so could he they are just scum do not try defend em theres no way about it

they aint stupid they know what they are doing,

[Karl]

Then I am outdone Robb.
and yes, she is the same as your chick, just obviously lacks a little in the boob dept. compared to yours.

[laura_g]

at the end of the day they knew the money wouldnt last they could of even paid to get there frozen shoulder and hip repaired lol, but they blew all the dosh that even us working people couldnt even have and now they want to sponge of us again

[Mark51]

i did say that i wasnt trying to defend them, by a long way. which i actually said but was trying to create more of a two sided arguement rather than a thread full of "they are scammers" "they need to get a job" "cant believe they have done that" etc....

i dont suggest other people are stupid for their posts and i would expect other people not to do i either

[laura_g]

if they had a geniune reason why they couldnt work then yeah i would have sympathy but they havent so i dont, fairplay to your comment though mark :)

[Hanuman]

lol it was a dont be "daft" type thing mate.... not an actual (meaning harm - if you actually can) by saying "stupid"

[Zach]

and bought a second-hand Ford Mondeo second hand for £16,000.

ORLY?


Cant believe people like this, but meh, thats the UK for you..
