Living Outside London

i accidentally drove to Hastings once when we were trying to find our way to Brighton from London (don't ask!) its was so nice, we just kept driving hoping to get out of there!! Don't you get extra money from the government for actually choosing Hastings? You do realise to get extra dole, you can invite us down to stay with you and make it feel a bit like London?

Even if the government did give me extra money for living in Hastings, I can guarantee they'd find some clause in my claim which meant it had to be taken straight away again.

Just A Question

Dear Diary,
Just a question. If you're on the dole, and somebody else (like me, partly) is paying for you to stay in a flat and do nothing, do you have the right to complain about the view?

Sincerely
Peter Humphreys


Yes.

Sandwich

i was going to go to Hastings - but now won't, i did go to Sandwhich once and it was dull and smelt of piss.
keep the site up

cheers,
Liam

P.S. One of the messages on your board referred to it being "exlat" - what the fuck is that all about. its a great site but people who abbreviate shit like that annoy me more than England does.


I don't think 'exlat' is an abbreviation. I think the person who wrote it was just incredibly thick and was incapable of spelling 'excellent'.

The Dole
As someone who supports and advocates for "The Dole," I find your plight very interesting. How did you lose your job?
Jacy

It just kind of slipped away. (I didn't really notice until it wasn't there anymore).

Sceptic
Duncan,
I will be reading your diary for two reasons -
1. Hopefully it'll be quite funny
2. To see if I can be convinced there is is a worse place to live in England than the petro-chemical wonderland that is Middlesbrough.
Good Luck
Andy Harrison

Convincing you (or anyone) that there's a worse place to live than Middlesbrough is going to be a hard task, but I'll give it my best shot.

Fakery
Dear Sirs,

I really must protest at the sheer audacity of the bounder and cad Duncan Donaldo. For he is not what he seems. Duncan Donaldo is a fraudster who has been conning the unsuspecting public into thinking he's a poor fellow down on his luck when really he's a member of the aristocracy and lives in a rather big pile on the Isle of Dogs.

This is the real reason he chooses not to reveal his true identity - the scoundrel. Would you seriously believe a man living on the dole could wear tope coloured slacks?

He has led a very unsavoury life and his reputation is somewhat tarnished - but more of that later. I must away for a supper.

Yours,

Terry Bulfib


er... what are you talking about exactly?

Fake Dole-ite
"I've just come back from signing on at Hastings Jobcentre, my weekly
ritual. " This story is fake just like all the charactors that run seethru. You only sign every 2 weeks, not every week. Unlucky.

MrDonkDankChad (from seethru talk)

PS. and if you don't put this in your guestbook, you've just proved my point and I'll post it on talk.
Wrong. Because the Nat King Cole continually keep failing to send me my giros I have to 'sign on' a little more often than your regular dole-ite.

[no subject]
Duncan Donaldo!

I writhe and wriggle in excitement and anticipation for more news from Hastings. We're ALL caught in the poverty trap- we're working, right?? Until this hideous year is over and and I have ...well...improved something, I have unruly and incoherant rants and ravings kept to a maximum.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I've been to Hastings!

cheers from sunny Norway

Here's hoping you score a success. Here's hoping EVERYBODY scores a success.
