Posted August 12, 2009 iPod Nano 8GB. £105 That's all my Jobseeker's Allowance for this week gone in one go. But some people have spent it on worse: Heroin, Cocaine and a Bjork CD, for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There should surely be systems in place to stop JSA being spent on non-essentials or things unrelated to helping you get a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 12, 2009 One way ticket 12th October = £600.01 A year in Sydney, fucking priceless Amazing!! You must be really exited. Got any idea what you're going to do out there exactly? lol - that is actually disgusting. Agreed. It's also an embarrassment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Villan, you disgusting, embarrassing fuck! *readies pitchfork* C'mon. What's wrong with a little luxury? You think I LIKE being on the dole? Do I fuck! It's a miserable, patronising experience that makes any good person (and me) want to find a job as quickly as possible and GTFO of there and start earning money. I wasn't going to buy an iPod until I actually had a job. But, y'know, fuck it. I don't care. I just tell myself that my JSA comes from Birmingham City supporters and people who voted for the BNP and I feel completely alright about it.

It's not really meant to help you get a job, it's meant to be used to survive while you're looking for one.

Posted August 12, 2009 Exactly...survive. We all survived before iPods were made. One of the reasons why I did get on the dole was because I needed to start giving my parents housekeeping money. If I didn't give them that cash every 2 weeks, they'd kill me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2009 While it is against the system I think I would do the same in the Villans position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) You all would. Unless you actually had a family to look after rather than just yourself. :awesome: Being on the dole is shit. And shit like an iPod makes you feel a little bit better about it. £50 a week is a lot when it comes to merely going out looking for a job and, for me, the only costly thing about looking for a job is the bus fair. That's not going to cost me £50 a week now, is it?. So all o' y'all can shut yer noises and tell me what you bought with the money you earned from your job. So you can take comfort that you actually got a job and not stuck on the dole like me and the other poor bastards (and Dan Dare). Ca-bloody-piche?

Posted August 13, 2009 So spending money that you're getting because you can't get a job on something you would spend the money on if you had a job is a bad thing? People just complain about everything don't they... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I pretty much agree with this but I don't trust my own argument so I think both me and the Villan are wrong. Oh what a post-modern nightmare.

Posted August 13, 2009 Villian you asked for a reaction when you said ''I used my JSA'', you could have just said ''I bought an iPod''. It doesn't sit right with people that you're spending taxpayers money on buying an iPod; I really don't think you have justification to moan about people reacting.

Posted August 13, 2009 Also bringing up Bjork is actually ridiculous. Really unfair, and uninformed. Asking for a reaction, and you deserve everything that came your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't sit right with people that you're spending taxpayers money on buying an iPod; I really don't think you have justification to moan about people reacting. I just realised I pay emergency tax which I hate. So I have basically brought Villan his Ipod in like a month. Screw it I would have still did what he did haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know the Bjork reference, I'm assuming it's an in-joke. Regardless, lighten the fuck up. So he's on JSA? Big deal, so are a lot of people, and I bet a lot of them are spending it on things they don't need. JSA is rightfully his and when he does get a job he'll pay it back with the tax he'll be paying for the rest of his life, so he can spend it on whatever the fuck he fucking wants. Disgusting, lol. Fuck off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
