Dear me, the Jobcentre processing team are a shower of piss poor fuckwits.
What services have astounded you with their complete lack of accountability recently?

Alt: most annoying Christmas record? Driving through to town earlier, Wonderful Christmastime came on the radio. It made me want to rip my ears off.

Nope.
Every time I ring them to check on the progress of my claim I'm told it's with the processing team. When I asked to speak to someone there I was told I couldn't. Today I've been told that my claim has been transferred to clerical, which basically means there's been a system crash on my claim and they can't process it by computer. But they still can't look at the file and tell me what the fuck's happening.

This evening I have written a strongly worded letter of complaint, which I shall send off as soon as I can get it printed. Cunts.

They're fucking scum, serious fucking scum and I would laugh and take great delight if whoever set up the system and is in charge of the system, ever has to use it.
I don't mean have to use it in the respect that they're claiming job seakers in a big mansion not really caring of the money comes in or not, but I mean actually having to chose between end-of-shelf-life tins of tuna or some kind of heating. I've seen their incompetitants make people's lives pure and utter unadolterated hell, a torture to live. I bet they're actually resoncible for a relative percentage of suicides in the UK.

coz I fucking hate it, I hate the way it's in every shop when you are trying to find something to buy for christmas presents amongst all the toss which is manufactured each year. I hate the way it is clearly mocking my pain and impotent hatred. I hate its smug wankerish tone metaphorically dressed in its fucking christmas jumper with a mug of hot chocolate while I drag my tired bones and tatty carrier bags around fairy-light covered shops of despair, where underpaid, over-stressed shop assistants and their glazed eyes roam over the meaningless chintz and tinsel of another fucking waste of resources and the fake smiles of a modern fake ceremony to Mammon and ridiculously high expectations.

I don't need to, and wouldn't, stoop that low.

And even if I did, I wouldn't admit it.

I don't talk about my charity work.

Most annoying Christmas Song? A lot of contenders.
Mud , "Lonely This Christmas", every time its faux Elvis impersonation comes on, I want to jump up and shout "YEAH I KNOW...", cause the lead singer looks like Andy in the wheelchair from Little Britain.
Band Aid's "Do they Know it's Christmas" and both its remakes
Shakin Stevens "Merry Christmas Everyone"
"Here Comes Santa Claus", don't know the artist.
"Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt
"Winter Wonderland" by Peggy lee
As for my Xmas Faves, I've always liked-
John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Christmas(War Is Over!)
"I Believe In Father Christmas" by Greg Lake (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer)
"In Dulci Jubilo" by Mike Oldfeild
"Ring Out Solstice Bells" by Jethro Tull

He's got a good voice but you can't do that without the William Reid growl.
