    Can you object to taking a job on moral or political grounds without losing benefits?

    Not sure...

    probably not, although I would imagine that you could do so on religious grounds so why not political/moral

    I believe so

    A vegetarian, for instance, cannot lose benefits for turning down a job in a butchers or meat processing plant.

    Er, just a minute, I think I got that information from Coronation Street, when Spider was looking for a job, so it could be complete ballacks.

    RE: Not sure...

    There's a vacancy at a council that I suspect is corrupt, working alongside someone who it has been suggested has threatened people with violence to silence them - wouldn't really want to have to work there.

    Yes it is.

    The full play list of their album is:

    1. Care to say more about what you wanna turn down?
    2. My cooker won't work
    3. Dry dog food, or tinned?
    4. My bed sheets are a bit mucky
    5. I bet that you look good on the till at Tesco's
    6. Mouldy bread
    7. Jingy Jing
    8. I left a message on your phone
    9. My cooker doesn't work (Radio Aire re-mix)
    10. I might have chicken for tea
    11. Mum is popping round later
    12. Something to do with being from Rotherham
    13. Shoes

    They have just released a limited edition of 'Mouldy Bread' on a picture disc.

    Fantastic.

    I didn't know Babsa was an Arctic Monkey.
     
  10. Gue

    Guest Guest

    Yep.

    The entire album is about Babsa's life.

    Their initial concept EP called 'Suicidal Internet Pillock' wasn't much of a success.
    It included a joint venture with the Newsam, sorry, Nolan Sisters.

    We've had one coming to our firm for a job interview and I think he deliberately came 1 hour late and stank to high heaven of piss and B.O., at the end of the interview he asked for us to stamp his card or whatever. His CV showewd that he'd had about 1 years work in about 13 years.

    So the moral is stink to high heaven and come late to the interview. You won't have to worry about morals then.

    RE: Yep.

    Are there songs about flat tyres, eating deep-fried Mars Bars and wearing leather to attract other men?
     
  14. Gue

    Guest Guest

    Yes there are.

    And one called 'Guess how many motorbikes I have'.
    On the new album there is a live bonus track entitled 'Watching Mum & Dad when the bed squeaks'.

    I'd actually copied their lyrics to do a parody. But found I had neither the inclination or ability to do it.
     
  17. Gue

    Guest Guest

    Me too.

    But I found I lacked the wit or the sideboard to do it.

    Apathetic Arctic Ape's.
