Who's a silly boy then...

With the announcement today that the interest rate has been cut by another half percentage point, taking it to 1.5% - the lowest in the central banks 300 year history I have decided to do something a little silly...loose my job. Again. So for the second time in as many months I am unemployed. Today has seen a depressing little trip being made to the Tower Hamlets One Stop Shop that deals with housing benifit and tomorrow I must keep my appointment at the Job Centre. Yesterday I 'signed on', something, and I am not meaning to sound up myself, I never thought i would have to do. Thus my facrcical life continues apace. Happy New Year? Bollocks.

People have a skewd view of the unempolyed, that they lay about and rinse the benifit system. I wasn't setting a very good example yesterday when a quite pint at Indo turned into a night of drugs and booze and listening to nineties piano house classics. Though I dont think I am being entirely fair on my self as I have also been catching up with some good TV from BBC4 (iPlayer is a dream) as well as Masterchef and my guilty pleasure Top Gear. I havn't done anything like look for a job though...that is clearly a waste of time. There are none and we're all screwed. Happy New what??
