the Lunar Scorpion and her ongoing struggle

[MyCult]

Get in Lunar!

Give it some.

Admin edit: seeing as Lunar has given her blessing for this thread to go ahead, I thought it best to reference the original comments here so that newcomers know what on earth the topic is! Please click here to read the message Lunar posted which caused such controversy! Remember to post you responses in this thread, however.

Can anyone complain about the awful inequalities of life in this thread or is it purely reserved for Lunar? If Lunar is entitled to something I'm not I may have something to say!

Or not, depends whether I can be bothered to get out of bed to reply, really. Though even if I did reply, you probably wouldn't read it, cos I've not replied to many posts before and you might not take it seriously and that would be yet another forum failure for me. Probably just easier not to bother and wait under the blankets for someone to ask me to post. Although, I can't actually see my laptop from here, but am sure they'll knock on my bedroom door when they've found the perfect thread for me to reply to. Maybe they'll bring me a free pizza too!

You may think I'm just being lazy, but I'm really just finding things just a bit too difficult at the moment. I have first hand experience of those bloody scrounging pensioners. My Dad walks around MY house Lording it over me with his pension money, flashing his roll of pound coins every chance he gets. Although he's not laughing when I take some of it off him on rent day as he's not entitled to housing benefit while he's with me. Better those poor folks who just don't feel like working get that money, bless their dirty little cotton socks.

If only he'd claimed benefits since he was 15, instead of working 12 hour days for over 50 years. Maybe then he'd know the system a bit better, then I wouldn't have to work either and we could sit at home in our dressing gowns watchin Jeremy Kyle and drinking cups of tea. Maybe one day...

I'm sure MyCult doesn't mean any offence - I think it was just an attempt to avoid derailing this thread any further

That being said, if you're not happy with it I'm perfectly happy to lock the thread!

I was taking the Piss a bit here to be honist. I really don't agree with some off the things Scorpion says but you do have to admit no1 starts people ranting like Lunar and her twisted logic.

No, it's fine - I did genuinely find it mildly amusing!

I do apologise for posting a response which, in hindsight, was bound to provoke a response from the grumpy workers out there.

Unfortunately for them, it is not my problem that they have the money and no time and I have little money and the time to actually try to do something about issues that concern me (and hopefully they concern other people, but what do I know... I'm obviously caught up in my own little isolated world, so out of touch with the rest of society).

i like the way you have completely disregarded genuine and heart-felt advice from other forumites, some of whom have bared their soul and revealed troubles easily on par with your own, and chalked it all up to "grumpy workers"

i am not a grumpy worker.. my job is a piece of piss - i sit here on the internet all day and get paid handsomely for it.. my boss has just made me a cup of tea (with chocolate homewheat) and i've got the radio on.. i am not bragging or trying to rub your nose in it.. i am simply providing evidence that your "grumpy workers" "argument" is nonsense..

it is insulting to all the forumites who have replied in support of you that you should be so flippant with their offer of help.. and you wonder why there is animosity towards you?

i am sorry that a lot of my responses in your threads seem to be negative - i do realise that is the case and i try to keep tabs on it - but your obvious intention to go throughout life trying to "be ill enough" is frustrating in the extreme

I'm am not grumpy either.

Yesterday I was sat in my pants eating Dotitos slowly realising what a fooking legend I am.

I work from home and I work hard, but grumpy? b**ch Please!
My job is cool as fook and my life is full. Next week I'm going to dress up as a different member of the A Team everyday and see how it effects my performance.

Un-hinged maybe, Grumpy! Ha!

Got any vacancies?

 

[db]

Got any vacancies?

no, they've got a "hiring freeze" on at the moment.. probably cos they've spent all their money hiring idiots like me lol..

in all serious, though; i'm exaggerating slightly to prove a point.. what i put is true (although since making the post i have finished my tea, so may have to make the next cup myself) but as mycult says i also work hard.. it doesn't make me grumpy, though.. i might not like getting up early in the morning and dragging myself to work every day, but i would be a lot more miserable if i didn't have to do it..

FPMSL @ mycult.... you really are a legend.... good work dirtybobby too, skill points all round.....

I've just spent an hour on the A500 because some people have the audacity to bounce motor vehicles off each other when I need to go to work, I have a client who needs several things ASAP all with the same level of importance, and I've not had a day off since April.

Yes, I'm a grumpy worker! But at least I have the satisfaction of knowing what I have I have earned, and that what I earn I can treat myself with. Its annoying as hell that a quarter of my hard earned cash gets taken off me immediately, then about a third of whats left goes on rent, then a further food goes on bills and food, but at least what is left I have earned and can do with as I please.

EDIT: And that was in reply to post 10 of dirtybobbys, THATS how busy I am here!

+1 skill for still finding time to post on the forum!

I like the way that you all seem to think you know best about what would be good for me, despite most of you not knowing me at all. It all sounds very similar to "pull yourself together" to me... (Rhetorical) Question: Would you tell someone with cancer to heal themselves?

I understand that you may be trying to help me, but the best way for you to help me would be to get on with your own lives instead of commenting on your partly informed perceptions of mine. I am (in the main) doing the best I can, and I am still wondering exactly what you are hoping to achieve with your collective negativity.

If I am going to get I job, I will do it for myself and not because someone else thinks I should have one. I really am sick of the "get a job"/"you should work" comments, I've heard it all before many times - in fact, I have an adviser at the jobcentre who's job it is to help me back into work so I don't need your 'encouragement' in that respect, thank you very much.

your obvious intention to go throughout life trying to "be ill enough" is frustrating in the extreme

Just to try and make this clear: I am NOT trying to be "ill enough", I am trying to be well. Unfortunately, in the meantime, I need food and things to stay alive - and as I don't currently have a job (and don't wish to break the law) I have to be able to claim benefits and this means proving that I am ill, or proving that I am applying for jobs - which is very distressing for me (in fact, while I was on jobseekers, an adviser at the jobcentre who shall remain anonymous said that I should be on sickness benefits). Just because I don't have green skin or walk funny or behave in a way that is likely to raise suspicion when in company doesn't mean that there isn't anything wrong.
