good League of Gentleman ref there

personally, I know there is a birth registrar. Calling your child Adolf Hitler probably isn't allowed in law.

But someone, somewhere needs to stop parents delving into scrabble bags of letters and calling their children QIUSRVBA;IF


Eg, Skylar/Skyler is awful. But I've seen it as Skyla. Just to make it even more special.

EG Jackson as a first name, but now its Jaxon.


I genuinely believe the reason the stupid cover themselves in tat's (gothic script naturally) of their children's names: is its the only damn way they can remember how to spell them.

That remind's me (and again I wish I was joking) I'm off.

I need to call "Ocean" back.


maybe she's full of seamen ?

Or to quote the Macc Lads, has Morecambe on her side.

"Ocean". FFS.

Skylar, also from 'Good Will Hunting'.

Shanade, obviously struggled with Sinead and how to pronounce it

I enjoy reading your insights into a whole different world Austinsmirk but surely you must breaching some scumclient confidentiality agreements with your tales, or

1. The names have been changed to protect the not so innocent.
2. You're so far up the food chain you can't be touched.
3. Your now so despondent you want to get discovered, disciplined and fired.
4. You've gone all Colonel Kurtz, split from the whole fking programme
and are now waging your own private war from the inside.

My OH is a nurse and apparently the dole pole brigade illness of choice is fibromyalgia as it's easier to get a car.

Warning council link but appropriate given talk of 'depression' and mental illness.

I have quite a few symptoms of it, but actually it has no impact on my life other than being a tad uncomfortable at times. I might mention it to my GP at some point if I remember to. I can't believe they give that level of stuff out. I was genuinely shocked when I was given a shopping list of courses I could apply for in relation to MH. And I can access the courses at any point from now on as I've been 'in the system.'
I read a quote somewhere by a genuine Fibromyalgia sufferer that it's far easier to fake being well for her than telling people she's ill with that illness thanks to the malingerers and the reputation the illness now has.

Shame his idol's not Billy Bunter, might be a more achievable outcome. And £370 a week JSA!! That can't be right, that must be a monthly figure. If not then I don't know why I'm bothering trying to pay my own way.

You wouldn't take that home on £10 an hour working full time, surely that can't be right?!

Article says its JSA and DSA, although chances are he's just trolling.

I suspect you're right, a Troll in every sense of the word.

Have spent a fair old while chuckling at this thread... now got to a point where I think, objectively, by someones definition we're all council.....
But had never considered Zafira's as non mobility benefit chariot of choice.... until the recent classified cited... scrap....

Lo and behold en route home this evening....(lousy pic I know but only had a second or two!)

Knackered Zafira? - check
Mismatched doors? check
Front bumper hanging off? check
No brake lights? check
Inmates plus sized? check

Full house! :-)

A quick google tells me at most he will receive approx £100- £150 a week combined JSA & DLA

That's worth £850 all day long! I wonder if it's on the FatBuss Facebook page or whatever it was called.

Is it just me, but I really cannot get over how stTY those fence panels are. Surely if you spent money on all that, you'd at least make sure the fence panels looked nice. Paint them at least!!!

That to me is truly council. Akin to a really nice snazzy set of low profile alloys on a vauxhall zafira.....
