You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Not technically unemployed buton my last day of employment at one of my many previous jobs as an admin monkey, at a Job Centre of all places, I decided to bring my laptop in and play Whitesnake's 'Here I go again' (1982 album version) over the tannoy. Granted the only people in the place were other admin monkeys and security but it made me smile.
As for an actual unemployment story, back in the mists of 2001, fresh after finishing my degree I was unemployed for six months. On the plus side I became the KING of Tekken 3 (in a daily contest between myself and one of my friends who was in the same predicament, the title was never formalised but we both knew it was true). It was also at this time I discovered the 'Adult Channel Freeview'. This, in conjunction with the aforementioned Tekken addiction, may explain the lengthy unemployed period.
