    Bloody good idea if you ask me.

    Looks good that Blobbs

    This great country of ours (that once ruled the waves would you believe....) is just getting around to proposal withdrawing job seekers allowance for those who are in receipt of it but are............wait for it.............not seeking a job.........

    That's 13 years of Labour government for you

    interesting point about those Forestry workers though, stone-heads the lots of them i hear
    fail to prepare

    Come off it Blobs you'll be wanting them to stop drinking alcohol and keep out of Bookies next.There's a great many who's living is dependent on the unemployed squandering their benefit money so lay off it'll only make the dole queue longer.Besides the UK has got the Human Rights Act to contend with and I sure there is a lawyer somewhere ready to argue that withholding benefit for any reason as flippant as drugs or booze is at odds with it.

    unemployed who fail drugs test to be executed in town centres on a Sunday morning- now that would be a great post
    Dum Spiro Spero

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....
    It is an utmost proudness of myself to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire.

    No, no, NO!

    Not on a Sunday morning ffs, that would mean getting up early to go and watch, after a potentially heavy Saturday night.

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?
