    Actually, how would this work for my mate? He's currently living with me whilst he sorts his life out (just come out of the forces) and at the moment is unemployed through his injuries. Would the OP's idiotic idea mean that I'd have to change my network's password and refuse him access to the internet that I pay for? What would punishment would I receive if I refused and allowed him the same free access that he has at the moment?

    "Catching up"? What the f**k does that mean?

    I wouldn't even bother trying to figure out what this joker is on about, its obvious he has a bee in his pants about something or other. I would do the same if a mate of mine was out of the forces, I'd let him kip at mine and use the net till he got himself sorted would never see anyone on the streets.

    Could there ever have been a more obvious wind up thread?

    Indeed. Same tired old rhetoric from one of the resident benefit bashers, on an obvious wind up with nothing intelligent nor constructive to say really.

    And I thought baiting was against the rules.

    Fine, remove the welfare state and all the unemployed will just turn to petty, and sometimes violent crime, prostitution and live in shanty towns like we see in those countries with little or no welfare state.

    You going to allow the unemployed to set up home in your garden? :D

    Oh. Don't people say that when they've drank too much and live with regrets the next day?

    In vino veritas. I mean, quoted for truth, sorry. ;)

    They are hijacking our jobs. Simply pull the plug on their internet access. No broadband for the unemployed. Problem solved.



    I take it you've never been unemployed:rolleyes:

    Hehe, I rarely drink due to being on a fitness regime, so it's always fun watching people post while they're drunk on here. Friday and Saturday nights must be a nightmare for the mods, I bet they have extra staff on those days. :D

    Let's just hope for their sake they don't find themselves in a position whereby they have no choice but to claim a state benefit.

    OP, just last month you wrote:

    "I'm banning myself for six months.
    This will be my last thread for six months. Some of you may have read how I gambled away all my money and therefore I am self-excluding myself as part of a Gamcare process. DS can be addictive and I need to distance myself from all forms of addiction. I have just learnt that I still have a job after being suspended and now need to exercise total discipline if I am to pay off my debts."

    Which makes me wonder whether it is perhaps you who should deny yourself internet access for a little while. Better still, readers of your repeatedly inane threads should ban themselves from responding. Permanently.

    Have we established what 'hijacking a job' means yet? :confused:

    For the life of me, I can't imagine how someone goes about hijacking someone's job, with or without the aid of the interweb.

    Patronising much? Do I have to say it?

    No, not sour grapes. More like grape treading. I have a job to do. The last thing I need is someone crushing my grapes

    OP, please tell us what hijacking a job means.

    Has someone been hacking your work computer and doing all your work overnight so you have nothing to do in the morning? :confused:
