RE: Advice Needed: Renting room out – should I accept DSS?

If someone looking for a place to stay short term or live can only pay using benefits, then regardless of their circumstances, by some peoples admmission they would be turned away.

RE: Advice Needed: Renting room out – should I accept DSS?

e.g:

My dad. Long story so, here`s the short version:

He`s was left for his best friend by my step-mother. She took him for EVERYTHING. He ended up losing his business (stress) and homeless as the their house was sold.
So, he was out of work and without a job.
He managed to (eventually, another story...) claim benefit but, had to spend 2 months through Christmas one year in a bedsit living on the complimentry English breakfast every morning as he had no digs (i live 200 miles away & he "didn`t want to impose or take my money
... :/ ).
Due to his age (50+) and living in a coastal town it was extremely difficult to find a job. No job = no house, no address = no job.
So, is he scum because for a fair period he had to claim dole and housing benefit? :¦

RE: anyone know when you have to stop paying child support

I`m one of the those lucky "absent" fathers who fall into that grey area called "i give a sh*t".

I contribute to everything my daughter needs/wants - on top of the cost of new clothes, c.d`s etc, and i have to pay the CSA for the privalige :¦

While i appreciate what the CSA stands for, they`re uselss and have been the bane of my life for years, and as she wants to further her education, will be for 3 more years.

RE: anyone know when you have to stop paying child support

For as long as she is in full-time education up to 19.

RE: Does anyone live in a caravan?

My Dad lived in one for a while, loads of hidden charges and taxes plus there is a difference in residential and seasonal. Seasonal (basically meant he was homeless for 6 weeks of every year) and residential has all the hassle (council tax, etc) of a "real house".

Oh, and the drama on site was like walking into a Eastenders/Coronation St script.


Sorry. :/

RE: Smacking Children

Coincidentally, i had a similar discussion on this subject at home with my nan at the weekend, she being all for smacking. We argued our points for a while then my nan came out with, oblivious of irony or humour "....... well my mum broke my ankle when i was little.....did`nt do me any harm." I could`nt help but laugh at her logic.

I`m un-decided whether there should be a law on this, but, imho the debate on if smacking ( be it a wee tap on the fingers or with a baseball bat) is a necessary or un-necessary evil - then as a parent i have to say no it is`nt.

RE: Smacking Children

again, take no notice xfilesgirly.

I`ve spent the last 15yrs doing my best to employ your methods. I can honestly say that my daughter has (so far) grown up to be a respectful and considerate person who knows where the line stops, and all without me having to resort to "smacking" her.


She`s far from being an angel sometimes, but a little patience and thought goes a long way.

Try it.

RE: parenting probs

If all he seems to have is music, buy him a guitar - maybe he`ll join a band.

Instant friends and purpose.

Don`t question the type of music though - that`d only be YOUR problem.
Did`nt have the best of times myself at that age. Some people need help finding their own direction, not forcing into someone else`s.

RE: Where`s the strangest place you ever had sex!

An apple orchid, in the snow. `Kin freezin, but the sight of cute little rosy red cheeks made it worthwhile.

RE: Micheal Jackson documentary- Your Views

"He says he has not had plastic surgery- COME ON DO YOU THINK WE`RE THAT STUPID?"

actually he did`nt, he said he`d only had 2 operations on his nose. (which i don`t believe by the way)

Just don`t think that all the people who watched that show really listened to what was being said and what was being implied.
