The TPU UK Clubhouse

Benefits are a good thing and help many people out, please don't be blinded by the media and politics who make it out as though everyone is playing the system, they do not it is a small minority of people, though of course the politicians can bring it up whenever they feel the need as it draws attention from other issues.

Some numbers, the DWP spends about 120 billion a year, 17 billion goes on JSA/income support and housing benefit, the rest is for pensions (67 billion) and other benefits which include disability etc, of the 17 billions that goes to work related benefits less than a billion of that is actually thought to be by wrongful claimants. So as much as we do pay for the people who abuse the system, that is not where the majority of our hard earned tax goes, again the media and politicians would have you believe so.

All of this is with a total spend of 650 billion.... food for thought perhaps.

I think you should change your mentality, I have no problem with foreigners who come here and work hard for a living as do 99% of people, I DO have a problem with the foreigners who come here to work the system and don't work, claim benefits for a big family and take council houses, as I have the same problem with brits doing the same.

 

Politics, boo! Why did we stop talking about the prudy gurls and Tatty pimping out his daughters?



I was actually born in Worcester but I've grown up and lived in Herefordshire my whole life. I've strived not to have the stupid Herefordian accident and pronounce my letters and words correctly and to better myself where and when I can.

 

I need to be added please, i did request it on one of the pages a long while back but must have got missed

 

Danny ere. If i have anything of small value laying around AFTER xmas, i'll join tatty in the give away

 

Indeed politics BOOO!

Let's talk about something much more British ... hmmm ... favourite beer or ale?

 

It was like watching the sporting equivalent of Eurovision.

Tactical and cynical block-voting that leaves the British contender languishing at the bottom despite having one of the technically better packages.

 

Because it was fixed?

 

Football can suck my a-hole! It's not the game it used to be & it's already immensely popular here in the UK so having it elsewhere in the world to me, is a great idea.

 

Maybe a link to a Google Maps map with people pinned on it? Might work.

 

They can stick it up their a** for all I care, FIFA is a corrupt organisation and I am glad the BBC stuck to their guns and aired panorama when they did, not that I think that changed the outcome, we didn't line the officials pockets thats why we didn't get it, it went to the highest bidder.

 

I got a few items that can be used for a give away at the end of Xmas. - if there are any girls here i'd probably give away something more too

 

Being a native New Zealander, rugby is my game anyway.

 

Offering to give away your virginity to any female on TPU. Thats so nice of you

 

being an Englander we pretty fail at every sport -

-We suck at football. whens the last time England won the world cup

-We suck at Tennis - Tim henman totally failed to compete

-We suck at crickit - India/Pakistan always beats us

- F1 racing - what the fuck happend to lewis hamilton after he won in 2008?? he doesnt 'try' anymore

is there any sport we can play that we dont suck in? I know we are fairly good at rugby

 

Wellingborough, Northants to be precise Tatty Chav central and a great location for Jeremy Kyle's research team by all accounts

 

Jessica Ennis does alright ...

 

England
Australia
New Zealand
South Africa
West Indies
Pakistan
India
Sri Lanka
Bangladesh

 

And given that NZ is currently at the bottom of that list in terms of ranking ... lets just move along from the subject of cricket.

Rugby though ...
