Just been in 3 more agencies - all 3 said "leave your CV alone - we'll pass it to our IT / Management consultants who should be able to help".

Hurrah!

You are showing willing ~ which is what this is all about. They will now continue to pay whatever benefits you are claiming and more importantly credit your NI contributions and thus your future pittance pension entitlements will not be harmed.

It's not very encouraging when the only "benefit" is having your stamp paid.

And then be told that you have (in my case) already paid the maximum.

Indeed. Got the Tee Shirt  tunble:


Just like every six months they call for me to be assessed ~ I ask the doctors everytime "Are we hoping for divine intervention or are you just ensuring I am still alive? ~ We all know there is no cure and death is the only way out of benefits for me"

Still, at least I'm out of the cess-pit today. Currently having a Guinness watching the ladies pass by. Some are actually very attractive. Some are ogres.

S'pose I'd better go back to the "training centre" complete with all the wannabe gangsters outside, drinking cheap cider and smoking dope, talking Patois and staring at me for speaking properly.

And the funny thing is the Security Guards let it go on and the "tutors" do likewise.

Tax-payers money well spent. Napalm the entire area (once I've left).

I have now arrived in Mallorca, hotel, food provided, pools, people, heat, sand .... and I am supposed to enjoy this.        Am thinking wistfully of gettiing home and booking a ferry - car, tent ..... heaven.  Ungrateful soul arn't I... oh no I paid.  rubschin:
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.
