  2. Doesn't matter if it's a scam, you're covered by paypal anyways. So either way you won't lose anything if the worst comes to the worst, other than the time taken for putting a claim in if it is a scam. If it isn't a scam then ya get a bargain!!

  3. i think i've found the solution: step one: change the dole to give rations of food etc, rather than money. i'm talking basic food for 1 person to live on per week, enough water and electricity allowance to stop them freezing to death and they can have like 1 shower a week. step 2: introduce national service as an alternative to the dole, where you get paid money etc. it will also be an alternative to prison sentences/asbo's. we can spend all the money we arent handing out free to low life's on giving our real heroes the equipment they need in the likes of afghanistan step 3: if private buisnesses dont provide enough jobs for low skilled people, then make them. put the scum to work fixing roads, maintaining the services we take for granted. means there are less pot holes and less pot fiends around. this should be compulsory after a certain length of time on the dole. the work would be paid ofc to allow people to build better lives. step 4: ban experience requirements for basic jobs, basically make it impossible to not be able to get any work at all step 5: give the police full control over any measures nessacary to control rioting. ie so the pm doesnt have to issue 'emergency powers' to allow the use of water cannons. over in ni the police wouldnt think twice about rolling out their water cannons and armoured land rovers to control a riot. step 6: anyone content to live on the dole, and who refuses to work [even when work is handed to them on a plate] will be either sent to prison or forced to join the army. result: dole scum are unable to afford car's, plasma tv's etc. those who do want to work can find work [even if its basic]. we have more peeps joining the national service to help out in afghanistan etc. those who arent in the army are making things better for the rest of us with public works. and those who flat down refuse to work are in jail. this sounds rather harsh. but this method is how germany managed to go from an economic wreck after 2 hyperinflation crisis's to a great powerful nation that managed to take on the world [again, although we dont need to take over the world]. the german autobahns were constructed under hitler's regime by using public work schemes rather than handing out free money to the 'work shy'. as a note, a mate of mine, who is just a month older than me, who does work a few hours a week in a takeaway, is on the dole. he gets

  4. There are part time jobs for young people - some of my students have them. The ones that don't aren't because they could get one, its because they never tried. The main reason is the pay. A few hours on a Saturday job isn't going to make you rich - in fact its barely enough to buy a game for your Xbox - but you still have to work hard and lose most of your Saturday. Whereas shoplifting said game takes very little time and effort. Faced with that situation, and only limited moral guidance, is it a surprise they take the easy option? Same goes for full time work too. Ask any older person and they'll say they had to start at the bottom and work up. That means minimum wage assembly line drone or cubicle dweller at first - it takes years and hard work to get the management positions and the company cars. However, too many people think they can walk in off the streets into a high earning job, and flat out refuse the low end ones. The fact is that we don't have immigrants coming into Britain and stealing our jobs, we have people coming over to fill in the jobs our own people won't lower themselves to doing.....

  8. Ha Ha! I'm always hearing people rant about how practical and user friendly lipo's and brushless systems are, but most of the time I hear lots about melted ESC's and exploding lipo's! Think I will stick to the nitro, and I have never had to take a fire extinguisher along to a bash but before people start harping on about about the merits of brushless and lipo's, I have a few helicopters that use them, and yes one did melt it's ESC and balloon the Lipo... the technology is great but you still have to be careful and know what your doing....

  10. im liking your vids,but my advice is for good/constructive feedback is stop asking for it,if people wanna comment,they will..if they like it..they will say..if they dont...im sure they will let you know.. but asking for feedback is like patting yourself on the back.you;ll find you'll get feedback weather you want it or notanyway

  13. That much is true. Because I'm happy to believe that whilst you aren't succeeding, you are trying. The fact you've had some temp work shows that. And that makes you different to a great many of the students I teach. So many pupils fail exams because they open the page, can't do the first question and give up. They don't even look at the rest which they could ace! There is a sort of culture that suggests if it isn't easy its not worth bothering. The cold hard truth is that the job market is tight - large numbers of applicants for each job, need a make a lot of applications to even get considered etc. People need to except a dozen or more rejections before they ever get considered, and thats for skilled work! Those with no qualifications will have to try harder than that. In that climate, too many give up too early.

  16. To try and add a positive here (maybe) I ordered an iPhone accessory set from china on eBay a few months back cost 1p!! With free postage, I though why not. It turned up around 3 weeks later exactly as described. How or why they do it is beyond me but all I know is not all of them are scams.

  18. Good for you hebby! Nothing boils my blood like a threat to my kids welfare but fortunately we don't get much trouble where we are in Suffolk as the kids here are soft as s**t. No 1970's crappy council estates for them! Anyway, when I hear of any bullying this makes me smile.
