    Then you are wasting your time in college. Seriously, you can't work out how to get a grant?

    A load of my friends are on the dole. Most of them have degrees as well, they all live with their parents though, and it's pretty cushy if you don't have to pay rent or food bills. One of them is only getting 40 euro a week for some reason, that's become what i like to call his '50 bag seekers allowance.'

    I get to line up and sign on every month, but all I get to show for it are the stamps.

    I don't have enough of them to get the dole.

    It must have taken ages for you to conduct a vox pop for 300 people? Did you get to sign on in the end?

    No saying "in their vagina" is more of an insult moaning like a girl and all that, sand in the jap is just painful

    I may be signing on soon as we got news today that we are closing for good. So unless something happens in terms of a new job in the next ten days, then it will be a case of signing on whilst trying to find the new job.
