Guest MattP Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 If you want to visit the station and have your say on air (internet only) I am sure you would be most welcome. I get a lot of stick because of speaking for the underdog which in GB 2013 I should not have to. Nah, look at the Cricketers, Olympians last year (we cheered on the ones in wheelchairs wo wanted to achieve), the tennis, the cycling, we've become a nation of winners now. The losing mentality is thankfully long gone, you'll need to keep sticking up for the underdog. I'll tune into the radio station show though, you could be the new Chappers and Dave. "Philpott and Ken on your JSA day" "Philpott and Duddle we'll give you a cuddle" "Ken and Mick campaign for a lift"

Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 Maybe employers are not allowed to discriminate but if you are the employer of 10 young office girls would you employ someone that needs constant attention and taken to the loo or a young girl like the others? With so many going after each job employers can be more selective and give no experience as the reason for not setting someone on. They get by this by this with the line no experience necessary or full training given but we all know they'd prefer someone that can do the job on day one and likely to be with them for many years free from illness retirement or death.
Guest MattP Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 It's self righteous, self pitying statements like that that's the reason you get stick. Absolutely pathetic. A wincing excuse of a human being at times.
Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 Have you got a ramp? We can accommodate the disabled as Andy Morris uses a wheelchair himself Are you saying that as an employer that had 50 applicants for a job you would pick the one that did not fit your requirements? Strange.

Zingari Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Where have I said that? Ahh that old trick ! Pretending you've got sporadic amnesia to get on sick benefits eh? We ain't falling for that one Matt!!

Ross-Kemp Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 You could walk/wheel yourself into a telesales job tomorrow if you wanted it. The reason, that there are 2.5 million people unemployed is because te majority of those people are bone idle, good for nothing lazy bastards. There are jobs available, you just have to be willing to work for a shit wage to start off with. People in this country want everything handed to them on a plate, a job will not fall into your lap that pays you £30k + per year. I swept streets for the council for 13 months in all weather conditions, it was shit, 1 week I'd have a full set of shifts, the other I'd have 1 or 2, the office bosses were wankers and the money was shit (I don't have anything against street cleaners, this country would be 3ft deep in rubbish if it wasn't for them) but I did it, now I have a job I love, in a fantastic company earning good money. You put hard work in, you get a good living out of it, if that makes me a tool, so be it.
Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 I've edited the post that was quoted. It did not come out the way I wanted it to. Basically we all get the information from different sources. When I go into Apex on a Tuesday to a meeting there is a list of potential stories on a chalk board. In the week before I have seen none on here but the stories are reports and surveys and press releases from various organisations that deal with the issues listed. I only retell them. I am not keen being told they are false or leftist when they come from people experiencing life in the thick of it. Sometimes a I never knew that would be nice as I have said myself in the past. But The majority on here are OK. Others might be doing a wind up. If so I along with you.
Guest MattP Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Come to think of it I've remembered an old story where we got a mate into City on the "I'm disabled" line. We were boozing heavily in the day for a nightgame and one of the lads was on crutches, can't remember why but three of us had tickets and he didnt, after about ten pints he wanted to come so I said we'll go ticket office on way. Huge queue when we got there so thought fcuk this, opened the envelope gave him the name and address ticket stub and said we'd back him up Went into L1 (before season tickets obviously) and the bloke doesnt let him in obviously, starts showing his crutches yelling "i'm disabled I dont need this" and us three are all saying we have purchased them fron the front and are we fcuk going back now two minutes before kick off" Bloke just let him through after this, actually got into the ground with a piece of cardboard.
ADK Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Wow, some of the attitudes in this thread are pretty shocking. Hope none of the people here who are so opinionated ever find themselves incapacitated.
Zingari Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 Say summat TPH We still like your opinion on stuff !
Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 The one doing the show talked about the Event at the De Montfort at the week end Simon Says. He said he had no problems the security people helped him get in and he had a good time. Facilities for disabled good. I also remember my neighbour who was in the flat below. She was in a wheelchair a lot of the time (but hated it) and had a rare bone wasting disease. Anyway she was a huge Bob Dylan fan. Went to almost all his concerts even in Germany.She used to smuggle cameras into the concerts hidden in the steel tubing of the wheelchair. Even had the security carry the chair to the front. This was a few years ago. She gave the sob story and got away with it. Strange thing was she was an ex-sister at a hospital and was a little racist at times and I am sure she would be anti-scrounger too.

You put hard work in, you get a good living out of it, if that makes me a tool, so be it. Do you have proof for any of those generalisations? Agree that there are some Jeremy Kyle fodder amongst benefit claimants, but the number is far less than most ideologues would have you believe. As for hard work - what about it? Hypothetical situation - Man spends 20 years working his hands to the bone in a job or variety of jobs, doesn't take much holiday because he can't afford to. Drops dead of a heart attack in his early forties. What value did he get out of his life? Where did hard work get him? The Protestant Work Ethic is possibly the worst lie ever fed by a religious text to a population. Life isn't logical, and you don't 'get out what you put in' - not many times, anyway. I've seen too many people (including some I know) end up shafted after having believed that to believe it myself.

I'm finding this hard to believe considering the bastard show has now been running for nearly ten years and shows no sign of slowing up. Agree with you on the protestant work ethic mind.

Who do they think works hardest , poor Asian/Africans or rich Americans ?

Just when you think your life is shite, you take a look and feel so much better!
johnny the fox Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 sad to see eddie kidds mrs has been jailed for knocking him about... dear oh dear..

Just when you think your life is shite, you take a look and feel so much better! There was a lad from Leicester on there a week or two ago in a red check shirt - went on with his Mum as he didn't like her boyfriend. He was a bloody mentalist! I hope he's sorted his life out, the shit.
Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 I never watch it. What would the point be in getting polite, considerate hard working couple on. Jeremy would have no one to hold to account and get the audience to shout out disgusting lazy bastard scroungers then for someone to post on here in the greatest Cvnt thread did yer see those pair I'm paying for them.

We never shouted that at you!
I am Rod Hull Posted 1 August 2013 Posted 1 August 2013 We never shouted that at you! MattP, I think you should think about changing your member title, having "na na na Ali Ali Cook" with a Mick Philpott avatar looks a bit sick
Rincewind Posted 1 August 2013 Author Posted 1 August 2013 Call me thick but Mick Philpot? I know there was a City player once called but dont think he was a Mick. I'll Google him name doesnt ring a bell ATM. Why do you want a picture of him as an avatar?
