I usually just turn the light off and drink 4 pints, but a bag on the head works for me.

Of course it is lovey. So is unemployment.

Her first tattoo was an 18th birthday present from her mum, sounds like a very classy family.

Okay... JCP person was a tad harsh in what he/she said... but let's face it, looking like THAT (piercings et all) does reduce your employment chances somewhat.

I think that might be the point of the piercings.

The job centre might require people dress appropriately for interview and make an effort (or lose benefits) but what can they do about tattoos and a face full of metal?

Good on the Job Centre employee, he said it how he saw it, and he's right. Get over it love.

Crikey. Public sector employee in basic common sense shocker.

Looking at the picture it's hard to believe she's only 23.

I think the job centre employee made a mistake here.

Think about it.. with carrier bags these days being so thin, and having holes to prevent aspyhyxiation i think at least 4 or 5 of them would be needed to gain the proper effect.

He was quite right though. She'd fail any interview at the first test - does it look human! Silly bint.

23 - duck off, 43 if she's a day.

People can make their own lifestyle choices, that one is hers and fair enough.
However, she can't be surprised by the reaction.

[Superhoop]

23?

Is that her weight in good old fashioned stones?

[deevlash]

He was just telling her the truth, she looks ridiculous.

[Project C]

Perhaps she should see if any tattoo places need someone - to scare the kids who want one.

Maybe she could get a job as an Amy Winehouse lookalike.

I thought it was Amy Winehouse!?

Yet I bet she's successfully claiming benefits without a problem.

could always remove the pirceings and put retainers in, cover with a pit of concealer and make up, and wear s long sleeved top. its not like she has tattoos on her face.

nice to see she is wearing a S.O.P.H.I.E. wristband.
