My youngest son is out of work and he gets paid £180 per month...he gets no other benefits because he lives with me....even though he is 23 that is all he gets...after 6 months he will get kicked off the dole and get absolutely nothing....thats a fact...unbelievable but true thats why we've so many homeless people on the streets in our cities selling The Big Issue..... This is why Im not particularly sympathetic regarding people striking and moaning about paycuts...at least they get to keep their good jobs for life. What a comfortable position to be in....I wish I was in their shoes.
Now I have to push you on this one...can you give me figures please...people on unemployment benefit in this country get £180 per MONTH....and thats a fact....it would seem your admin workers earn more than our teachers...and you wonder why there is a need for pay cuts?? Its not rocket science to work out why your country is on its knees!
All I hear is public sector workers saying they are underpaid and overworked.....for once put yourself in the shoes of the unemployed, especially those with children, at Christmas time, with a mortgage to pay and no job prospects...now thats something to be getting upset about..I dont hear anyone speaking up on their behalf.....
I dont understand what all the fuss is about....here are the facts as I understand them.....feel free to put me right if I am wrong, Im sure you all will lol....the country has been overpaying the public sector workers for years... once upon a time it could afford to do so...it cant afford to do so any longer...the figures are there in black and white for all to see.......imo it has to make cuts to balance the books for the good of everyone and to save jobs.....if the private sector workers have accepted it then I dont understand why the public sector workers dont follow suit....
Not having a swipe at anyone but if I took 16 sick days in a year I'd be sacked......unless of course I handed in a GP sick note....I only get 16 days annual holiday at work...
Hi Ciaran...Im just home now and Id like to thank you for organising such a great night...it was sooooooooooooooo good to meet everyone (old and new friends) and thanks to them all for making it such a good night....I had a ball!!

Its a thankless task organising a night out Ciaran...I know cos Im the organiser for my works Christmas night out this year....you can never please everyone and you will always get some flak......whatever, I hope to say hello to you tomorrow night ..... and thanks for making the effort to arrange it in the first place.
Aw come on Clo...youre taking this personally and all it is is just people voicing their differing opinions and letting off steam.....we are all living in hard times at the moment....all of us and people are venting their frustrations it doesnt make them bad......please at least sleep on it and if you feel the same tomorrow then fair enough.....but you know Id love to see you
Aw come on Clo you promised.....you cant withdraw from situations because there happens to be people there with a different point of view from yours.... Just come...even if its just to clip my ear for my cheek
