I'd start a crowd funder to make sure he can continue to pay his Dr and stay signed off!

Good idea, if Doctors can't be trusted to determine who is unwell, can we really trust a registrar to have correctly noted a date of birth? Maybe a minister could just declare all those of State pension age to actually be ten years younger, and dig us out of the pension hole.I really can't be arsed with all this, but do you really think your NI contributions were 'invested to pay your pension ?'
What do you think paid for the NHS, Police, emergency services, public services, benefits, education and every other aspect of living in the UK when you were growing up ?
The very simple fact is that even though you've now buggered off to Malta, your living costs are being paid by teenagers, all those various Gen whatever their names are these days (I can't keep up), and young families trying to make ends meet in Britain. Unless you're going to claim that you don't take a state pension paid for by all those people on a weekly basis.
The simple fact is that if you do, you are on benefits
So I am guessing it's only fair that you should have a detailed check to see if your a valid benfitee or a scrounger

To be fair, I would probably be a slight improvement!! For starters I don't blame everyone else for my own f**k ups. Then there's obviously my charming personality. If the job was offered to me, I'd have to look at the accommodation 1st. I don't want people snitching on me if I have parties when there's a lockdown. To be honest I'd decline as I'd miss walking my dog over the South Downs too much and I'd worry that my cats would get run over on a busy London road.

I just had an overwhelming feeling of deep disappointment that you got a word wrong from such an iconic track!! It's The Prodigy, they were one of the very few groups that successfully crossed loads of genres. They crossed punk, hardcore rave, techno and pop. No excuse for not knowing the right words.

I think subconsciously, in my slackadasicality, I wanted to wind someone up. It certainly wasn't you.
Bought that CD the day it came out.
Thanks for posting the track. Keith was mocked for being 'posh' but he was real. And a bit damaged.
Incidentally that 'hey hey hey' first appeared on a track by the Art of Noise.
Michael Cain told me that not a lot of people know that.
(Incidentally you are one of my NSC pals who has the insight to not pick fights with me when they aren't...quite sure....WTF I'm going on about....and so just let it ride. That's called* maturity and insight. I salute you
*And not really giving a f***. The greatest gift of all

Nope, no excuses for not putting the correct words however you are trying to frame it. Twisted works as well as wicked.I think subconsciously, in my slackadasicality, I wanted to wind someone up. It certainly wasn't you.

I have it on vinyl but it's not technically mine, actually its in no way mine, I hid it in a vinyl split. I feel guilty, I've confessed to Jnr that I hid it, I've now confessed to NSC. It's not kept for monetary value, it's kept to play.
Actually this tangent has led us back to this 'sick note' culture that Rishi wants to eliminate.
Something tells me that Keith Flint didn't need to claim benefits before he hung himself, but would be on the front line of 'benefit reforms' if he didn't have a penny behind him. He may have claimed benefits, I don't know. I'm just guessing that he probably had some cash coming in that didn't mean he had to go and fight to get an appointment at a job centre.
People of today eh! They should be shrugging things off and getting on with it, rather than being so workshy that they hang themselves!

The other way if looking at that is that companies have over 50% of their employees subsidised because they don't pay them enough.

Glad you at least apologised because those other posts are completely unacceptable. Please don’t repeat that behaviour.
Well, there’s an additional problem that NHS surgeries can no longer afford to employ doctors. Appointments are being taken by unqualified Physician Associates. There are qualified GPs who can’t get NHS jobs despite wanting them, and many others f***ing off to Canada, New Zealand or Australia for better pay.
Maybe have his heart of stone transplanted with a human one?
