yeah, but why don't they just use 'unemployed'? it means the same.

The unwashed is my favoured description tbpfh.

unwaged? what the juddering **** is that?!

At first I thought it might be a term for a footballer without a page 3 chav girlfriend, but then I realised that'd probably be unwagged.

We've just implemented a new process in the mighty world of Vodafone tech support. It's working a bit too well, i've spoken to 3 people in 2 hours! I'm so bored it's untrue!

looking for Swedish language courses and i came across a mad bit of political correctness. found a site, and it looks ok but underneath is a wee thing about pricing -

"...?100 per person for 2 or more students enrolling together, or for the unwaged"

unwaged? what the juddering **** is that?! is no-one unemployed anymore?

Prolly some Swedish direct translation or something. Those Swedes are amusing sometimes with their direct translations. Like boyfriend they say 'beau'. Does make me laugh

By the way, where is this course held? I'll go in with you and save us both some cash. I need to brush up on my Swedish.

Oh the humanity!!

Haha, bit far from me then stuck here for the time being in Northampton! I lived in Sweden for a while, whereabouts have you been/lived in etc?

my bestest friend lives in Sollentuna, north of Stockholm - i go and visit about once a month or so. i'm planning on moving there in the next 6-7 months (hopefully) - the UK is ****e and i've had enough.

i love Sweden, and really want to move there - it's going to be tough but i'm positive it's the right thing to do. the ball-breaker is going to be the whole employment thing, although if i put in the effort now and make contacts it will pay off further down the line.

any tips on how to approach it?

Well matey I know quite a lot of people who went over there looking for work...any work but found nothing because they couldn't speak fluent Swedish. Talar du Svenska flytande? The Swedes are quite fond of employing 'their own' too over foreigners so be wary. Sorry to sound negative, I love it over there too If you haven't found this already then this website is a Godsend >> www.thelocal.se

Bloody dreadful isn't it. In this case - prison really is too good for them.

Torturing your own child? They should be locked in a room with Bauer for a while.

How mads that? It doesn't even look good, if someone served me that breakfast then I would send it back.

I bet it ****ing killed as well.

[bingowings]

man, that looks rubbish. really bad.

'...is that a breakfast on your head, or are you just pleased to see me?'

[Crisp_Rapper]

i will make it my mission to find that man and ridicule him.

Went out for a few pints tonight. 3 pints and I'd had my fill. I've never felt older!!
