It's GC once it's achieved the noteriaty of the infamous Glasscock, not after it's been posted once yesterday.
If it's been posted twice then it's been posted twice... oh... wow... Doesn't mean everyone's seen it.
Even GC isn't that bad, I mean, often a lot of stuff on /links gets ignored anyway, so pushing an old link off the bottom of the board won't really be too much of a shame, and if it were really good it'd be on the popular page, anyway, no?

It's not all cut and dried tho, a friend of mine has a Mum entering dementia and a Dad becoming chair bound,
and they're needing so much care now he's thinking to give up his work to care for them full time, but if he does that then he will only get £60 a week maximum (prolly more like £40) benefit help for doing so, which isn't enough for him to live on, so, with his parents consent, they are trying to claim disability benefits for THEM which they will then give to HIM to support him as their carer, however there will come a point soon when his Mum will too far gone to legally give consent to anything anymore, and it's possible someone will then see what they're doing as 'fraud'.
BTW, his parents have worked and payed their taxes their entire lives and retired late at 70 because they loved their jobs, his Mum needs 24/7 attention now so as soon as his Father is completely lame, that's it, either they must sell their home and give up all their property there-in to go into a home, or 'de-fraud' the benefits system to get by a bit longer, but it all depends how you look at it.
These things are not always as simple as they seem.
BTW, did you know it can cost a grand in legal fees to get Power Of Attorney? 'Cos we didn't...

There are many people out there who claim to offer free CVs for people but when you actually look at the sites they are most definitely NOT free, which frankly pisses me off.
In the spirit of stupidly providing something for nothing I have created a site that will actually produce a free CV - and you can then decide if you want to pay for it.
It isn't the prettiest site, nor the prettiest CV, but it contains all the required information (you'd be amazed how many people forget to put phone numbers on a CV!).
