Thanks for the good luck wishes, guys

But it seems that I have lost my touch
Even though I cunningly stashed an onion in my pocket (to help with the flood of tears), it was to no avail.

It seems that we live in an age where a person can go to work, earn a decent wage, and still not be able to afford to live - even in the most modest of terms.
Of course, my petrol bill has gone up by £20 a month, and then there's the 'poll tax' (why the fuck we all pay that is beyond me ) which has risen by £120pa - all of which is not recompensed with higher wages

I mean, here I am...I don't drink, I don't go out to the pub, I haven't got expensive tastes in clothes (still having to wear the school uniform, it's that long since I bought any new clothes), I eat like an Ethopian (on a good day), and don't have Sky, holidays, or anything else that seemingly everyone else around me can indulge in...and I still can't survive!
WTF!

After I have paid all my bills, I am left with £30 a month to myself!
Out of which I have to buy any 'incidentals' - like bread and milk and such

So what is the point of going to work, when all I'm doing is paying it all to someone else (ie, the council, the tax man)??

Of course, it doesn't help when the bank sends you a letter telling you that 'there are insufficient funds in your account to pay x...please rectify the situation.....by the way, you have been charged £30 for this letter, plus you will incurr a standard administration fee of £45 for going over your agreed overdraft limit..so you gotta find an extra £75 on top of the already stretched budget that you are working from!'

Gee, thanks for telling me something that I already knew, and thanks for charging me even more money for the service of such!

I just don't get it.

Then, I see society's lazy bastards all around me, living the life of Riley on benefits that I AM PAYING FOR, who have Sky, the latest fashions, and are able to piss it up down the fucking pub every night of the fucking week!

Hmmm... we do live in a fair society, don't we?



AND..I can't even afford to have a smoke to chill out!!!

I'm kinda hoping that the bailiffs come round today...cos then I can break their stupid fucking necks, and tell em to piss off...which, believe me, I will!

I'm off to have a cup of tea...one of the last luxuries that I, a contributor to the welfare of this country, can afford to do...just about!
