you all disgust me with your attitudes towards single mums …….. just because we arnt part of a couple dosnt mean we are the scum of the earth!! Iam hating not being able to work , but that what i have to do till i find a job, And a private let is our only option of housing as the council would put us in a bnb for god knows how long till the house us …..and this is just not good enough for a child …myself yes i could cope but not a child! but again with landlords hating dss, wont have much luck i can see. oh and have been in a private let for 2 yrs in fife with no problems ..and a landylady who is an angel.

And of course, the now rusted and weed-overgrown baby-swing in the front garden. Do these losers get a fucking manual on Stereotypical Loser Householding?

Uh oh, I’ve dropped the F-bomb. Should I edit it out… Nah, I’ll keep it. It was well placed I felt.

These are my experience of what happens when benefit recipients move in. Did you hear that thump? Yep, that was our property values falling on their arse around here.

Reading down this thread, there’s a few of exactly the same mold have posted here. People who write this kind of way: “How much iz I guna get fuh muh numerous kidz lol and me roflmao to livez in a streetz fo free wif doze ppl who iz wurkin for a mortgage thoze foolz why wd anywun work? lolololz hahahah” I thank Sweatybollocks for saying a lot of what needed to be said about those ones.

But now we come to Neighbour #4. A single middle-aged guy, a great fellow and a good neighbour. Of the old school where you actually give a shit about keeping your building and grounds in good shape. He’s been here for many years, and he’s been a perfect neighbour. He’s had a few jobs over the years, and had a few periods of benefits. I welcome him to our building. I’d be sad if he left. I see plenty of folks posting who are polite and perfectly literate, and these must be the people like my Neighbour #4. There’s those others who I’m actualy a bit surprised are able to use a computer at all going by their failure at basic English. Ah, maybe you can post on forums from the X-Box now. That would explain them.

Anyway, there you go. Three out of four nearby neighbours I’d love to see the 20p for a police-issue bullet spent on, one who’s a brilliant, considerate and well mannered neighbour. This is what I see around me, so this is how my opinion is formed of private letting to DSS claimants.

OK, I’m done.

Its really strange, because I know you are asking for someone to come up with an insult and at this point in time, I genuinely cannot come up with anything original to throw at you. I guess I am not used to being given the option so freely and it has caught me off guard! And considering I am usually quite good in an environment where I have to think quickly and come up with fast answers, I am a little worried I am losing my touch!

Go on Nikki – just a little one to start off! It wont bother me – honest.

Bet if I was a politician you could do it!!

I really wish I could think of something to put on here, but alas, I am just not that type of person. I am sure that given time though, there are many people who will oblige and hopefully your efforts to relieve peoples frustrations will be recognised.

Good luck!

I’ve decided to run a competition to find whoever comes upwith the most original insult. I don’t care what you call me as long as it’s original, expressive and descriptive. Don’t want to be called a cunt – been called it too many times and it’s a bit boring now. Same with twat, knob, dickhead, arsehole, doe eyed limpwristed donut puncher and cocksucker.

Will make a donation to ‘Shelter’ for the most original! Go on Lisaq – you know you want to………………….Go ahead punk, make my day.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I would be awful as an elected official! I am the type of person who avoids political wranglings if I can help it, although I do end up being pulled into many discussions where I struggle to avoid them.

When I have a little bit more time I will sit and write a full response to your reply, but at the moment, I have a lot of studying I should be doing and my intention to take an hour out to relax for a while has drawn me onto here, only to get involved in more discussions!
This is part of the problems of being unemployed…
not enough to keep my mind occupied, so I end up trying to find things to do, but nearly always end up finding it hard to switch off! After all, there is only so much time you can spend watching the Simpsons on tv, before you start thinking like Homer! Doh!

It will be interesting to see if we can come up with something practical in order to sort out some of the issues we have mentioned. I certainly think it is something which needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Unfortunately it is time for me to go and do something productive again and get some more studying done.
