I'm eligible for fucking loads
including the laptop I'm writing this on.

Income Support
Child Tax Credit
Housing Benefit
Council Tax Benefit
Child Benefit
Legal Aid (to take the ex-girlfriend to court so I can see my son again)
Home Access Grant (free lappy and mobile dongle)
free 12-month college course in Plumbing
Discretionary Student Fund bought all my plumbing tools
And I get free swimming and go 3 or 4 times a week.

After the ex-gf cleared off last year I realised that I'd not actually be any worse off not working, so I handed my notice in. The way I look at it, I've paid in to the system for 20 years so I'm going to take everything I can out of it for a year before going back to being a number for the next 30 or so.

On the down side, I'm permanently skint, my daughter and I live on Tesco Value everything and things like Sky+, holidays, days out or even meals out are a distant memory.

Oh, and I've never seen Lost.
