[Deleted User]

[Deleted User]

[Deleted User]

Actually I do.

Its an old Leeds saying for someone on the dole. As in....

"Get the pan cracking. I'm off to get the Giro"

(Could only afford a cooked brekkie on Giro day, see)

[Deleted User]

Right. I'm getting a job as a 'Saturday Girl' & will single-handedly sabotage the system.
Oi! Stop sniggering!

Technically I'm not a crim (not actually been convicted of anyhting yet, despite my best efforts)
Pikey ?
Pan-cracker - Well, suppose I do get a student loan (incidentally I work p/t so haven't taken most of it out).

Got nuffink to be ashamed of. Alas history of anti-authoritarian 'troublemaking' probably won't endear me to Govt. when I finally graduate & try & work for the NHS.

Me? Easily wound up? You mean I don't radiate an air of calm peacefulness across every thread?

[Deleted User]

not that I've noticed :-)

I've read that in 10 years time everyone will be required to have an ID card. Apparently they are going to cost £85 each.
Charging for something that you are legally required to have. It's another bloody stealth tax!
We are living in an ever increasingly totalitarian state. Remember Big Brother (aka Tony Blair)is watching you.
This is pretty scary stuff. Don't have nightmares!

It seems that Mr Blunkett wants a private life now - it's amazing how the authoritarian types want their liberties but don't want others to have them.
