Anglersvista Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, I have worked around 6 weeks straight without a day off, often being on call too for weeks at a time. The next time i get a day off is somewhere in the new year, I will even be on call christmas day. ...again, who's the stupidest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Enoch Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Is a thankyou so much to ask for or expect??? That's the problem you see. The unemployed see it as their right to sponge off the taxpayer. ALL benefits should be scrapped. If you don't want to work, then please leave the country. And before all the lefties start jumping up and down, yes there are jobs out there ... get on your bikes and look for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 ...again, who's the stupidest? I have paid a fair whack in tax, but I prefer to work, I prefer to pay my own way, I would hate to be a sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoran Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have paid a fair whack in tax, but I prefer to work, I prefer to pay my own way, I would hate to be a sponge. So whos a sponge? Be a little more specific please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Then your a very lucky person. Maybe you should thank the unemployed for being workshy thus allowing you to hold down a job that clearly no one else wants. Or is there another reason you need to do all that overtime? To support my very soon expanding family, and make sure they are provided for, by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoran Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 To support my very soon expanding family, and make sure they are provided for, by me. Yeah, you have a job that no one else wants so have no choice but to work overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 So whos a sponge? Be a little more specific please. IMO the sponges are as follows: People who have no intention of working, People who cant be arsed to work, People who use certain disabilities (real or not) as an excuse not to work, People who churn out kids as a way not to work. IMO genuine cases for benefits are: People who have fallen on hard times (job loss, redundancy etc), and are actually looking for work, People who have a real illness/disability, People who have retired and worked for the most of their working life.

Anglersvista Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 So you have worked six weeks straight without a day off, and you don't forsee a day off in this year, even working Xmas day. But you seem to have a job that allows you to chill out and regulary post on internet forums. You must be knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it from your arrogant posts that you know exactly who those people are on here and so have no problem naming names so the rest of us unemployed sponges dont feel like your picking on us.

Bonjon Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 What about the alcoholic who does a bit of thieving and pus more into the state via alcohol duty, than he takes out. Surely you should thank him? Sorry almost missed your post, for some reason I read it as "whinge, moan, council house, whinge, moan, not enough housing, whinge, moan". I suppose your question depends upon who buys the stolen goods, if its other people on benefits then he is really just putting the same money back into the system.
