    Sorry for you there mate. Been laid off from my last 2 jobs, Northern Rock & then the council, so know exactly how you feel. Had to work part time for the last 2 years, look every week for something new but very little knocking about. Most of the time it would be a case of trading one pile of **** in for another so just figure i may as well hold my horses until something worthwhile comes along. Good luck though mate, hope something crops up fast for you.

    Aw ****, thats a ****ing bummer kidda.

    Still we are all in this together? Like **** we are.


    Keep your chin up and at least we can breath easy tonight regards the football. Scant consolation for a lost job but at least it raises a smile?

    Good luck in the job hunt matey.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Sorry to hear that and I only hope that you are not forced into signing for JSA which is basically where so called 'advisers' try to bully you into working for nothing.
