Daggers Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I see that renowned cheesecake hater Webbo is throwing his weight about again.....http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/80559-football-chants/ He's like a special constable at a car boot sale, checking VEDs and tyre tread depth on the sly.
Zingari Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 But on a serious note - I attempted to be on job seekers allowance last year and its an absolute farce. I was seeking a job for upwards of 6 months or so, happily declaring every now and then I'd done some part time work here and there as and when I could get it. This part time work was the only income I had coming in. As some of you may know this was working behind the bar at the Emirates and at Wembley. Most of the time the money I earned barely covered my travel to and from the job but I kept going in the hope that it led to something permanent (which was offered to me at the same time as my current full time job). During this time I was filling out endless forms and getting a bus for half an hour every week at my own cost and was not seeing a single penny of job seekers allowance. I was continually, week in week out trudging to this ankle braceleted, soul sapping, hell hole hat in hand desperate for any job I could get my hands on. I was getting no help whatsoever and was still not getting any money from them. The hideous job guarding hobgoblins behind the power desks, specifically designed to make you feel like Oliver, cannot fathom that people without money can't afford cars and as such can't travel to exotic places like Hitchin and Basildon at will. They can't fathom that just because I worked behind a desk at Nissan, that I am not qualified to be a car mechanic. They can't fathom that because I took French at GCSE level I'm not qualified to be Jacques Chirac's interpretor for his state visit. They cannot utilise common sense. After 6 months I got the job I'm currently in and 3 months later received a cheque for about £200 quid. Apparently this was backdated jobseekers allowance. I didn't bother to complain about the paltry sum or about the fact that a quarter of that was spent travelling to and from the fecking place. It was all too ridiculous and I wanted that horrendous chapter of my life behind me. In my opinion if anyone would rather take the money every week from the jobseekers rather than getting themselves a job I say fair play to them. And after all of that, I'm still indifferent towards cheesecake. You're not fooling anyone with this sob story , it's just the sort of stuff you lying robbing scumbags would say .
Webbo Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I see that renowned cheesecake hater Webbo is throwing his weight about again..... http://www.foxestalk...ootball-chants/ I'll tell you something else. Banoffee pie is fecking delicious.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 i am unemployed, but i like cheesecake, so i make my mum buy it for me. Lazy sod. Make your own out of old biscuits, discarded primula and berries off roadside verges!
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 If there's one thing I know it's this... Cheesecake beats Torte any day of the week. We don't use the bad word round here.
21st Century Fox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 We don't use the bad word round here. Someone's got to raise these sensitive issues around here. We need to hear both sides of the story from the Cheesecake Socialist and the Torte'ries.

I think the problem is more to do with the people who dont even bother to want a Job and would prefer to just live off of the benefits. At least thats where the problem is for me.
The Doctor Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Well as I said this was pitched by BBC radio 2 as someone who was genuinely hard done to. This was the best example of someone being hard done to they could find. Is this example is as bad as it gets, then everybody else is also being given too much. you can never have too much cheesecake. Especially if it's a summer fruits cheesecake Oh, and I'm loving the logic there - poor choice of person to display = everyone is stealing ma tax monay!

Jon the Hat Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I love cheesecake. But I love Key Lime Pie more. don't be ridiculous.
21st Century Fox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I love cheesecake. But I love Key Lime Pie more. Are we talking Key Lime with cream top or meringue top?
Guest Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Are we talking Key Lime with cream top or meringue top? Proper Key Lime Pie doesn't need a top.
21st Century Fox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Proper Key Lime Pie doesn't need a top. You passed the test.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 i've just had spotted dick in your mouth or elsewhere?
Guest BlueBrett Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 i know cheeky aren't i?! like a treacle tart myself
Daggers Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Key Lime Pie isn't even a fvcking pie for fvck sake. And as for meringue - it's made with the Devil's own condom contents.
dave the caveman Posted 19 March 2012 Author Posted 19 March 2012 you can never have too much cheesecake. Especially if it's a summer fruits cheesecake Oh, and I'm loving the logic there - poor choice of person to display = everyone is stealing ma tax monay! My local tesco often have this cheesecake on offer at the dangerously low price of £1, which is great on the wallet, not so great on the belly I wonder if i'm the only person who mixes the biscuit base and the rest of the cheesecake together before eating. Gives a marginal improvement in texture imho. Oh, and if you're going to mock my logic at least display some yourself, otherwise I might think you are suggesting that poor choice of person to display = obviously everyone else is beautifully innocent and she was just that one in a million
dave the caveman Posted 19 March 2012 Author Posted 19 March 2012 I was...out...getting...my own...week...hole...in....desperate...places like...a car mechanic. After 6 months I got the...backdated...fecking...ridiculous and...horrendous...behind. In my opinion if anyone would rather take the money every week from the jobseekers rather than getting themselves a job I say fair play to them. And after all of that, I'm still indifferent towards cheesecake. I sympathise with genuine JSA claimers, but I suspect a lot of them are not trying too hard to find work, or maybe they don't know how to find work and need help. My 'beef' is more with other benefits like housing benefit which are like goldmines.
FoxyPV Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Cheesecake uses beef gelatine and I'm yet to find a decent veggie one I do love a bit of cheesecake though. The balance between cake and biscuit base has to be right or it's ruined.
