Apparantly. Except me and STBX because he knows us and he knows we want to work, but everyone else is a workshy scrounger who breeds just in order to claim £60 million a week in benefits.

Was IBU to call the orator of this gospel an arsehole?

Sorry, that doesnt make sense. I have a part time job because a friend is helping me out but I need, and am looking for FT as is STBX.

Nope. YANBU at all. And you WBevenlessU if the orator of this amazing gospel 'truth' was your STBXH...

The orator was someone we both considered a good friend, he came to our wedding FFS! STBX is even more pissed off than me.

I think he has had a major statistics malfunction.

YWNBU to call an arsehole an arsehole.

It will be as effective as pissing into the wind...but it's worth a go.
I know the standard line is 'don't hate, educate' but you may as well try and teach a fish to walk.

Not on benefits but still bitter about these people.

oooh, a TP dominated thread! When I told STBX about it I said that I felt like going Librarian Poo but didnt because I was at work :o

True about pissing in the wind, but I feel that if I dont say anything then they assume I agree. I dont think that me saying anything with make them change their minds, but at least they will know that I dont agree with them.

Omfg, can I apologise for my reverse bigotry there.

We had to pts one of our dogs today and I'm all out of fucks to give about stupid bastards feelings but I've swung too far the other way with my 'these people' thing. Next thing I'll be trotting out the BNP justice solution 'they should be shot'

You could wind him up - lay it on thick about your plans to repopulate Tottenham to get a big house and free everything. Depends which would make you feel better?!

MrsTerryPratchett · 07/04/2013 03:29

Us TP names rock the not being a wanker Olympics. Its what we do.

You could get Big Bang on him, "do you believe that or do you want to do the maths?"

Sad Bursar so sorry. Thanks

The bigot is currently selling his house which is nice but no bigger than ours, however being in a sought after village is worth alot more. I might tell him that I heard that the local HA is looking into buying houses like his, it would keep him going for weeks!

Thankfully, I bought my house at the lowest part of the last dip (1999) so my mortgage is low and I can still pay it.
