It's all online now, they're gradually shutting down the branches which isn't really a good idea.
I remember the days when the jobs were displayed on cards on boards :))
I never, ever got one interview from those jobs I applied for.
Are they still called jobcentres? It's a stupid name as they have no interest in doing anything to help you find a job. It's all about sticking you on pointless courses so your officially in eduction and not unemployed.

LOL ... the moment I saw the video preview I knew it was gonna be that film ... I only know about/watched it because you guys on WOS mentioned it ages ago.
Made in Britain - great film, shows what it was like in early 80's Britain.
That's how i imagine Boozy would have acted down his local jobcentre :))
Nah bag of vomit is more my style, me and a few mates of mine did that to an Italian restaurant once. The owner was a bit of a dick, and one of my mates could make himself puke on demand. He lived round the corner from the restaurant in an OK-ish part of town, and we assumed one of the customers disliked our loutish, and yobbish behavior outside the restaurant and complained.
like I said the owner was a bit of a dick, slick hair 30 something "cheap" sportscar driving twat, comes out starts telling us to go away, we were a fair distance away from his sh*tty little "tratoria" anyway, but he starts saying to my friend "I slap you boy I slap you", after trying to explain we were on a public street and a good distance away from his restaurant, and actually weren't indulging in any anti-social behavior, he starts saying to my mate "listen boy if I hit you, I hit you good! You no get back up again for a long time you hear". My friend called his bluff and said go for it, he obviously didn't, and went back inside.
The liquor market was about 6 doors down from there, and we were on OK terms with the owner, went in said "Oi sanj you got a spare carrier bag we can have mate?". Sanj was kind enough to provide the vessel, and my mate went round the corner and yakked in the bag.
It makes sense that when people are eating pizza and pasta they want to see puke splashed off the restaurant windows as they're eating.
So.....We did them a favour and enriched their dining experience.
I launched that bag at the window so hard it nearly broke, and I think we actually saw one of the people next to the window gag, and try to stop themselves from puking.
today i had a phonecall from the HR lady with our group of companies asking if i would be interested in going in to their other factory tommorow for a days unpaid trial, it may lead to 2 weeks work ...............which, could in the long term lead to another full time job if im any good at it.
Now, i said yes, but after i was speaking to a former workmate who was made redundent too and it dawned on me before i left id heard rumours if you start back with the same company you lose your redundency.
so i phoned her back and eventually she rang me back, so i asked her, she said
A: its a different company (as theres 3 companies in the group owned by the same owner, 2 in one building and 1 in the other), i was made redundent from the single company factory and gonna do a trial at one of the other companies in the other factory, they make cable couplings and fastenings etc
B: she said its going through and she wouldnt let 2 weeks work affect mi pay as i may need that after as of yet im not even getting dole.

Whatever they say just get it all in writing about the redundancy pay. Ask more questions as they might start you back at year zero.
Yes be careful, as Mat said get it in writing, not only that you are doing an unpaid trial, but that if they employ you, you will STILL get the redundancy pay, they may employ you, stop the lump sum, then fire you again, without any entitlement to ANY compensation. It may well be that you need to talk to a solicitor or an accountant, the first consultation should be free, or very cheap at least. Do not trust them to keep their word, make it legal, however if you do any unpaid work which may lead to another job, it shows you want to work and that should help to satisfy the job centre.
Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........
oh well just been told today that i wont be kept on after friday, so looks like the 2 weeks i was told on the phone is true :( doing mi box in now i dont know whether im coming or going, whether to get dole or not, :(

Kid at school: "Sir! Sir! if I like plug my r2d2 router literally into my R-50-matic like batch cable literally processor and like literally press the button like 3 times, it just like literally won't turn on?"
Mel: "Shut the **** up, can't you little **** just shut the **** up! I'm playing Zelda on mi Switch, I'm going around in circles trying to find some shock arrows or something. Get me a can of Snakebite.... NOW!"
Boy:'Good. After spent the whole day watching music videos with the new teacher, I realized I don't want to be an engineer when I grow up. I want to be a vocal in an anarcho-punk band \m/ '
To be honest i can't imagine being unemployed, it'll probably happen some day (i hope not anytime soon!). I've been in continous employment since 1999 and a lot has changed since then.

tbh i spent 18 years unemployed, and it was great, then i got a job, and its changed massively (the major change is the dole not contacting me at all, for two months since i filled in my application for dole) good bloody job i aint desperate for money Oo
