  1. Agreed, but they also have to allow time for people to actively seek work. i suppose when looking at it from a different perspective, it will help in the long run, at least when you file a application form, you could now present work you have done, even if unpaid, which is going to help a lot. Where as before, if you haven't been employed for a while, unless you did voluntary work. you really had nothing but "job search" to fill in areas of no work. so although i played devils advocate in the previous posts. i do think that had this been available when i was looking for work, it would of gone a long way to helping as well.
  2. Lee if you have enough piping left over to do another water by pass once you have finished with what you need, PM me matey, ill have it off you. so i can do mine.
  3. having just read through the newer comments, I'm appalled that people who have a job at the moment, have been jobless for less then 1 week, think that its easy to get a job. I can understand the resentment to people who are just bone idle and don't want to go out and get a job as all this does is ruin areas of the community. but for people who are actively seeking work, to be told by someone already in a job "oh its easy" is nonsense. not every location is the same as regards to jobs. not everyone has the means to travel further a field and look for jobs. and not everyone can afford to get to and from a place of work during the time period of starting a job and getting paid. Sorry, but I've just had to watch my mum, who has worked since she was 15 years old. get made redundant as the company she worked for got hit hard by the credit crunch. go through all the rigmarole of signing on, only to be told that my step dad earns to much. so now is struggling to make ends meet, she is actively seeking work, but who is going to employ some one who is a few years away from retirement, in a town that frankly doesn't have any work. Visit our local jobcentre, almost all the work available is in high skilled positions, that you need 3 to 4 years worth of experience for. now my mum is of the age where it wouldn't be beneficial for her to go train in them areas, as soon as she finishes any course she would be almost knocking on retirements door. The other problem with the place i live. is we have a high rate of immigrants. home base near where i live; 85% of its work force are immigrants. If you want to create jobs for the UK, then stop outsiders coming over and filling the positions. People on the dole i don't mind, I've been there, its a hard place to be, I've had to go through all the crap associated with it. the digs from friends saying "its easy to get a job" when they are in a job, and then you go "well anything at your place of work?" only for them to turn around and reply "ill ask" then a few days later get "my place isn't employing anyone right now" - so you end up thinking to you self, we feck you then, don't say its easy to get work when there really isn't any about in the area. only way to beat it when its like that is to start up your own business like i had too. What gets my goat up though, is people who take heroin and alcoholics. they get hand outs no questions asked due to the self inflicted nature of the predicament they have got them selves into. Please if you have never been on the dole longer than 1 month, don't sit there and say its easy to find work. as although it might be for you, it isn't the same for others, no one can force a company to employ someone. even with incentives. The end of 2002 i found my self homeless thanks to wellingborough council. i lost my girlfriend, my job and where i stayed with in two weeks, it then took me 6 months of cold winter nights and days, to finally get a place to live due to how the council work, couldn't get a job as i had no address, and even if i did manage to get one, couldn't keep it that long due to being out on the street. once i had my place i set to work looking for a job, i went around every company in my little down (which really isn't that hard to do) filled in application forms, even when they said "no jobs available" i tried agencies who although they gave me odd days here and there, it wasn't a viable way to work due to having to declare it so losing any benefit i gained from having the work. it got to the point where i had 27 interviews in one week, and only 2 companies told me why i didn't get the job, one was because i didn't have a driving licence at the time. the other was due to not being suitable for the job (i new too much about the subject? work that bugger out?) instead i got a business plan together, saved a load of my cash up from the dole, got my driving licence and some savings to approach a bank with, went to 5 banks before i got accepted for a business loan. and started up my own business, fixing PC's But i tell you one thing, if it wasn't for my persistence in getting where i am today, i dont realistically know how long i would of been out of work. It was a nightmare getting someone else to employ me after being jobless for almost a year while i sorted my self out. for that year i was setting my self back up again and getting on my feet. i found out first hand what the dole is really like. and i wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy, the job center does NOT help people back into work, they pressure you into things that you either, can not do. are not suitable for, of have no experience with. they do not work to your own strengths, and people put you down the first chance they get, rather than helping you towards your goals. As much as this might seem like a good idea, i think its going to be more detrimental than helpful. people out there need better means to get training for jobs the country needs. as at the moment if you are on the dole and want to go collage, they stop your money, which if living on your own, or no form of income, isn't very helpful at all.
  4. It might lower your chance of a sale a bit, but id keep to UK buyers only. its a car and not something you can just throw in the post.
  5. I thought so too, the guys anointment's were a nice touch as well, because he explains what hes feeling and everything
  6. lol i know what you mean matey, that is one sexy looking motor. the road one wasn't the best in the box, but i still wouldn't kick it out of the garage if it farted. anyway get some more tissues.... hmm looks like a new one might be coming out / or already out. http://car-images-wallpapers.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-lancia-stratos-hd-photos-galleries.html
  7. lovely car, but not the best one in the lancia range. give me the stratos anyday :D
  8. personally, i think they should create more jobs. its ok getting long term unemployed into "unpaid" work, but why not just get more jobs that pay work so people can go work. It also would help if there was an incentive for companies to employ long term unemployed. a friend of mine was off sick due to a back problem, now its sorted out he is having problems getting work due to being out of work so long.
  9. yeah sorry about that MSN experience, i have to admit, it would of been better with the webcam working....
  10. yeah but even you admit its a bit strange going for a hours drive and finding the rad cold?
  11. just pricing it all up at the moment, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, should i replace the idler pulleys? may as well do that while the front of the engine is apart for the water pump.
  12. never mind over reaction just there, can get a OEM from zcenter for 20 notes lol
  13. Thanks, for some reason i questioned my self about it, even knowing all too well that its closed. even scoured over jeffTTs threads and saw a few closed just to make sure but still that niggly feeling. i suppose I'm going to get my arm chewed off for a Genuine Nissan part lol
  14. Right i have my thermostat from my car in front of me, now i know it should be fully closed when cold, but its not, but i have a niggly feeling about it so just would like someone to confirm it lol Fully closed = good Almost closed but not quite = bad
  15. The original video was edited to have lasers shot at the cats at the time they spasmed and fell over. admittedly its funny the first time you watch until you realise that the two cats in the video that people are taking the piss out off died. the owner was trying to make people aware of the disorder her cats where suffering. not for some little scroat to edit it and add the lasers and be the subject of amusement. When jaikai first put the thread up, the title was different and it was showing the video of the one with the lasers in it. Personally me and jaikai both believe that it would be disrespectful to keep the original content. so instead he changed it for the original.
  16. You do know that with excessive use of liquid gasket you run the risk of squeezing it into the tube when tightening and then blocking the flow? you should only use a small amount, and why are you using liquid sealant with a cardboard gasket? should be one or the other.
  17. Candy apple red on a Zed at JAE this year. looked better in person than my crappy photos.
  18. Crazy to think what us humans are capable off. one of the most beautiful man made objects is also one of the most deadliest. the birth of a miniature sun that dies out almost as soon as its born.
  19. gotta do me own first before i do someone elses lol
  20. i love the extreme weather one, when the lighting starts. especially the bloke going "if i die tell my family i love them" then gets the close hit lol
  21. Happy birthday you old fart lol :happybday:
  22. havent seen this one in years, still makes me laugh [YOUTUBE]qWDiJ_JNlNE[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]pLqV4eJYomw[/YOUTUBE] This is fecking epic [YOUTUBE]grAU34ATEms[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]Zu-GDrrUTxo[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]rU7iYYpSrlo[/YOUTUBE]
  23. Fancy a night out daz? Welcome to the club B4VEN300 :D photobucket is your friend for photo posting. or there is the attachments tab in the reply box. but you have to make sure you fit the criteria for it or it will fail, just under 2 meg for a Jpeg image.
  24. not technically stealing, if they didn't charge for it. you cant place the blame on the customer, its not the customers job to inform them that they failed to charge for an item. its there job to make sure they are charging for the correct items. all Richard has to do is turn around and say, sorry all i see what the cost, wasn't looking at what you charged me for. (although then they might try adding things onto his next bill lol)
