How easy is it for a 15 year old to get a job these days though?
FWIW our 5 year old girl is being an absolute tool at the moment!
Tbf mate, he's likely to have had his N.I number come through (or very soon), unless he's only just turned 15 (in say September). You have a point but I'm there are enough places if willing to look/search/hunt. Obviously KP and waiting type jobs can tie you over and will take on employees under school leaving age. Even Tesco do I think too (with N.I card). What makes it a little more difficult now is the change in school leaving age. Obviously if you have a job, apprenticeship or FE lined up at 16 then you don't have to stay on. If not you have to stay on until 18 and/or you may choose to as an alternative to a college. |

Been like it for the last few year mate. It starts of with something like; Super Savings Saturday Sanctimonious Sunday Unbelievable Cyber Monday Twitter Promo Tuesday Ash Wednesday Rebooted Thoughtless Consumerism Thursday Black Friday Lets Do It Again Saturday Sacrificial Sunday Manic Monday Torturing Tuesday Wallets Empty Wednesday... Yes, a load of old bollocks. Unless you happen to be after a discounted blender that will wash your bits at the same time like a Bidet. It's called a Blidet  |

Pricks at the supermarket - Sorry this is my Victor Meldrew moment, you run up and down the checkouts until you find a till with one customer with about 10 items, Result !,
they then amble through talking to the till operator about any old shit they can think of, then waste a few more minutes attempting to pack their bag, next hurdle is the payment, more time wasted whilst they ferret for their purse, finally having found it can't find a coupon they think they have, then can't remember which purse they put their loyalty card in, fucking hell, by now I'm hopping from one foot to the other, then they insist on counting out all of their loose change - only to find out they are 2p short and then have to go back to their purse to get out another note. Does this only happen to me ?, seems like I draw the short straw every time !. Fucking supermarkets, I hate them !.

Happens to me all the time. Banks is another, every time I go in there is some git going through their life history and shit. Just give them a form or get them to do it online.

Cunts that are come to a conclusion far too quickly, without thinking it through.

Fucking supermarkets, I hate them !.
I remember a time before supermarkets.... life was a lot more gentle, we didn't have much but shared what we had. The shop a key part of the community...think Wilf Castle's bread shop, and Eric Lane's pork butchers. Arguably gave STFC our best ever years.

Avoid Publix in the USA. They have bag packers who offer to take your bags to the car. These staff members will continue in this role even if there is a queue and another till is free to open up. |

I was woken up this morning by a tooth that was giving me rather a lot of pain. I can still feel it now even though the pain has subsided somewhat. I'm hoping it'll be alright but deep down I know I am really just preventing the inevitable.
I'm going to have to have it pulled at some point. I am not looking forward to this.
