  1. Lionel Messi's NOTW Interview

    On a Sunday I usually get a copy of the News of the Screws as well as the Observer purely for the actually impressive football coverage, and today the supplement has an "exclusive" interview with Lionel Messi. Good, I thought. During the interview, something came up that i've certainly not...
  2. Best Toasted Sandwich Filling

    One of the perks of being unemployed at the moment is, at lunch, which does tend to be my first meal of the day, I have a license to go nuts and experiment with the Toasted Sandwich Maker I have that served me so well at Uni... It's been great to me in the past, but today it exceeded itself in...
  3. Recession? Immigration? No, Women's Football!!

    The country is in a deep recession, masses remain unemployed, the National Health Service is understaffed and immigration is spiralling out of control. Forget all of that, The FA are not doing what they're told! Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe took precious time out of his schedule of claiming...
  4. ESB's Broadcast: The Madness of King Sol

    I didn't know whether to post this in the current thread or to start a new one, so feel free to merge it if you'd like... Amidst the madness at Meadow Lane, with foreign investment, Sven Goran Eriksson turning up unannounced and a host of shock signings being unveiled, someone has most...

    Would you do this cos you wanted the day off work?

    Silly git.... Man hurt himself to 'avoid work' An Aberdeen hotel cleaner who attacked himself with a boulder and a razor to avoid going to work has been fined £100 for wasting police time. Steven Reid, 23, claimed he had been assaulted, but later admitted faking the attack because he wanted a...

    Home Brew

    Being long term unemployed I have a lot of time on my hands and am trying to use it wisely by making homebrew for self consumption . The wine has got off to a cracking start with only problem being getting my supply and demand right (currently making two gallon a week = 12 bottles). The next...

    Being Unemployed is boring.......

    When I first lost my job at the start of December, I thought a couple of weeks off might be very nice, relax a bit over xmas, think about where I am and where I want to go, things like that. Begining my ninth week of sitting at home, it is starting to wear a bit thin. I seem to have developed...

    The government have revealed plans to force unemployed people to do community work: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7516551.stm Any thoughts? I quite enjoyed the following broad brush judgemental quote:

    New ideas for TV shows

    Our five-a-side game at Mile End was one player short tonight so someone suggested having a reality TV show to find an extra player. Part of me found this so funny it needed sharing, part of it is undoubtedly self-indulgent but a big part of me is hopeful of getting more ideas from the good...

    Teacher Jobs - Not having much luck at the mo :(

    Been looking everywhere all day on the net for a position as an ICT teacher in either the Southend/Basildon/Castle Point area, and have found bugger all. If there are some teachers (or anyone who can help!) on here who know the best places to look (either on the net/newspapers etc, or in...

    Would you support this policy?

    Times are slow in the world of mortgage broking at the moment. We did however have a call today from a potential customer who called up on the off chance. This customer basically told Anna in the office that she was claiming full unemployment benefit as she was unable to find work. As she had...

    New forum idea.

    How about a 'would you give her one?' forum for those who wish to underline their heterosexuality by discussing the relative merits of sleeping with model X, actress Y or pop star Z? Or, if you feel that strongly about your opinion why not write a letter to Nuts magazine? I know we don't...

    Good for nothing layabout sponging scum !

    All the unemployed should be shot or made to do continuous community service to clean up the rubbish and graffiti in the town, especially lazy bastards like Blues R Best. They should be made to start at 7am, 6 days a week and wear electronic tags with a home curfew from 6pm. Lazy dossers. I...

    Reserves Match Report - SUFC 3 LTFC 1

    Was it the unseasonally warm weather or was it the fact that I'd only recently found out that STHs get into reserves games for nothing ? It matters not. The important thing is that after 33 years of patiently and quietly watching the best team in the world I finally broke my duck to watch my...

  18. Mockney Bin-men

    I posted on here about the mockney binmen who'd stuck a sign on the front of their dustcart the day after the Wet Sham game showing the score. Somebody very kindly posted a link to a council website where I could make a complaint - so I did! I received a letter from them yesterday to say that...
