How Was Your Day?

[ScouseFox]

hahaha. "yeah boss i know you've put me in on an all day on saturday but, er, that's not really convenient to me, i've got plans to do nothing that day, sorry"

[AoWW]

 

I don't have anything to do with it, I have £185 in my bank and I don't go out ever and don't need anything.

 

I'm sure Mark wouldn't refuse a donation towards the running of this forum.

I thought what I put was reasonable and helpful.

 

Oh well I can but try. In a few years time if absent from FoxesTalk  Lamby could be found huddled up in the only office doorway in London that does not have spikes hungry,cold and wet as a result of being pissed uponand  sore after being kicked, unable to find a job because he does not have a permanent address and unable to find a flat because he does not have a job. His only option for the night would be at a night shelter sharing a room with alcoholics and drug users sleeping on an unwashed piss/semen stained mattress and having to keep awake in case anyone tries to steals his few possessions or stick an AIDS infected needle into his arm.

 

OK the above is melodramatic and OTT but it has been known to happen and I do not want it to happen to Lamby. Hope it is something to think about and be motivated to improve his situation. You can only kick someone up the ass so many times before they fall over and do not get up as it means nothing to them.

So it's a case of do what you say, not what you do then?

Once a c*nt, always one. It's in Elephant & Castle

The Coronet Theatre?

Based on your knowledge what would your constructive advice be?

 

I was not telling what to do I was suggesting. I am retired so he is virtually doing what I am doing already. But he is 40 years early which is not a career option unfortunately for him.

Loads of us have pitched in with good advice for him, I can't be bothered to repeat it. I just couldn't help but laugh at you trying to tell someone they need to get a job.

He worked for the vast majority of his life, he was out of work for a couple prior to retirement, and you think that's enough to question his work ethic, and his ability to offer advice to a young lad trying to get his first real job.

Thought you'd given up this edgy **** act when you got found out after that stupid racist post? Obviously not. Might be time to grow up pal.

I've just seen you won a gallon of beer - where's the forums cut?

You're on here often enough to know that Rincey is well short of any normal retirement age and is perfectly capable of working, but chooses not to. Much like Lamby. That's what made me chuckle. That and the idea that Lamby living his life on benefits might lead to him being stabbed with an aids infected needle. That was funny too. I'm not having a go at anyone, i just found it funny, that's all.

[Rincewind]

And I was doing the same as someone who has worked 45 years 3o plus at on place and now working in the volunteering sector.

I was attempting to motivate him to do something better and help himself to achieve his goals.

This was not about me it was about Lamby. If I can encourage someone I will despite the sneers and pisstake.

I did say what days I was at the pub. I went in on the Friday and Saturday of the black Horse Fest

[Unabomber]

Lamby why don't you just get a job in a warehouse or something?

[bovril]

I'm with lambo. **** all this grafting bollocks, life's too short.

If you can't see that Lamby and Rincey are at completely the opposite ends of the spectrum that's your problem. One has worked for 40 plus years in, by his own admission, shitty jobs, usually whatever he could do, from factory work to security. Became unemployed in later life, and again by his own admission, struggled to find work due to his body not being up to the physical nature of his old jobs and him having no office based skills and little funds to take courses to get them, but has volunteered and given back to the community (even if you don't agree with his cause, you have to admit he's trying to help others). Yes he enjoys a few beers and yes he's getting money via pension loophole, but he's hardly the scrounger you paint a picture of. The others is sitting at home on his fat arse, occasionally getting out to do a cleaning job that he often refuse hours he's offered anyway, whilst waiting for great job to land in lap despite barely any qualification and a massive hole in his CV. And when it suggested he gets a factory job or a retail job he turns his nose up, when it's suggested he uses his time to get qualifications he skoffs at it, despite admitting to having a decent wedge of disposable cash in his bank to pay for it. Instead he prefer to stay at home wanking himself into an early grave. If you can't see these are very different people, you need to look again.

I'm pretty sure Lamby is mostly trolling to be fair. The whole Lamby storyline has long been a bit farcical. Adding aids needles into the mix just adds to the ridiculousness of it all. It's funny. No need to be so serious all the time.

Your last but one post wasn't calling Lamby a troll, it was comparing his "story" to Rincey's life. Whether Lamby is a troll or not, you can't liken him to Rincey.

Yeah there's no need to be serious all the time, but then there's also no need to be a **** and then play the "banter" card, you're not Kingfox.

Thank you facecloth. I did do some training courses. Passed an IT one and a food hygiene one as well as media courses. But TBH with the estimate of 5 applicants per job who are employers going to look at first for anything that requires the above skills. There would be a further 6 months to a year induction. Would they not prefer somebody that has experience and qualifications and is likely to give a few years loyal service. I cannot guarantee that. I wish that I could. My physical side is not suitable for heavy lifting or speed on a production or warehouse. Yes I used pension credits to retire but it was either that or stay on JSA for a further 2-3 years with the possibility of the deterioration in my health or even fatal consequences.

As for Lamby he has many years ahead of him but the longer  he goes on the harder it will be for him to have the self confidence and motivation to go and do what he wants to do as a career. Call someone useless often enough and they will come to believe it.

So I'll take the part of the good cop. It is a much harder role with Lamby. I like a challenge.

 

Re the needles, I added the AIDS part but I have met someone that would not go to the Dawn Centre. One time he was there he woke up in the night and a bloke was standing over him with a needle and who knows what it contained? . There is also a video on YouTube where someone says the beds in some places are disgusting and he prefers to sleep on the streets.

Sometimes scare tactics is what is needed.
