Fgs, I've bitten my lip for as long as I could.

Redway, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Pyramid, you've been back for a very short time and quite frankly I've stayed out of this thread, despite being offended by it, because I know you'll take great pleasure in knowing you've annoyed me. Imho you started this thread to deliberately be inflammatory and piss people off, the OP is nothing but a smug gloat about how things went extraordinarily well for you. You were lucky. I'm glad you found work so quickly, I wouldn't wish unemployment on anyone, its soul destroying. For the record, in my case it HAS been very difficult to find work, for many reasons that I'm not going to drone on about. Yet I'm still trying, and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. As for the inference that if a person really wanted to work then they could, that's bull and somewhat insulting. To reiterate, I really want to work, I'd give anything not to have been made redundant, I was unlucky. And eventually things will turn around and I'll get back on my feet again, through perseverance.

give it a rest please.
