    Sorry for the late reply, I've been unemployed and in a complete rut (and probably depressed at one point) and while I was lucky enough to have a family that I could have fallen back on (and did when me and the artist formerly known as Mrs Root parted ways). One of the things that MIGHT have helped was being given a job, as in "this is what you're doing" kind of thing, probably over simplifying it but with hindsight looking for a job seems a bit like a dating website (I've never been on one, not cos I'm so Goddamn beautiful, just been with the same burd for way too long) in that its easy to wait for the 'perfect' gig. 

    In Chompland I'd be giving compulsory training for the completely feckless, which would vary, whether its for low self esteem or to learn to read/write or whatever. While its maybe not feasible to guarantee everybody a job, its what we should be aspiring to. I honestly think people are happier when they're 'pulling their weight', most of us have bitched about our jobs, I don't know anyone who is truly happy working but accepting an 'underclass' and writing them off isn't fair either, whichever side of the divide you fall in to. In Chompland the living wage would be enough to motivate people to work, especially combined with the Hitleresque 'not working' diktats. What I would go with though is if the state can't find you a job then you'll get generous dole but you'll be expected to take a job as soon as one can be found for you. I'd also give people who've contributed for so many years 3 months worth of minimum wage dole if they're made redundant, that gives them 3 months to find another job that suits them, if after that they're still on the brew it would be a case of they take what they can and look to get a better gig while doing whatever job they get. Fair, maybe not but its not fair to expect society to bankroll people either, as you say, "f**k knows how to sort all that out", vote Chomp though. :lol:

    Do the dole not offer training for the "completely feckless"?

    Similarly, the families of the passengers on the plane that disappeared consistently banging on about how the Malaysian/Chinese/Aussie governments haven't found the wreckage / bodies yet. They can't just spend millions and millions of dollars indefinitely searching for something they'll probably never find.

     

    They know the person is dead do they really want a pile of putrid mush back. When it becomes obvious the person is dead they should just move on.

    I'm sick of Allan Bryant moaning about his son being missing/dead. What does he expect the police to do? Send everyone out to find a body. I think he's enjoying the limelight alittle why else would he be so reluctant to move on with his life as most people do when they lose someone.

    I've gone off drinking and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I cant find anyone to share a pint with AHAHAHA.

    Seriously though, right now I'm contemplating going out but I think I'd just rather have a cup of tea and stay in. Wtf is wrong with me? I got steaming last weekend and didn't enjoy it at all. I'm only 23 ffs.

    When I was 25 or 26 I went off the drink. You may never drink heavily again,I still have beer from Christmas in my fridge,  I can't stomach it now.

    Too obvious..in true Poirot style I have calculated that the culprit is in fact your neighbour from two doors down (looking left as you stand at your front door). Can't be arsed explaining but it is all to do with a sizeable inheritance and blood diamonds.

    Impossible 

     

    I don't have a neighbour 2 doors down.
