So where are you from then if not Portsmouth/Hampshire? Where's this godforsaken place full of concrete, chav, and with only terraced houses for miles around?
I'm not about to give away my online address online. I just live in some urban borough in the south.

What are you talking about? What did you google?

Nobody's asking you to. Just a general area/county would do.

And I never said Portsmouth was the only urban city. Personally, I find it 'pretty amusing' that you think the mods are stupid enough to not know where you are, but hey.

So you basically just told me that you're spying on me?

I could cry.. I seriously could.

Spoil sport. I for one hope he has a long and happy life in Portsmouth. If you don't already live there Hagrid, it's time to move.

Bon voyage.....

Sorry. Amusing as he was, he had to go. My head would have spontaneously combusted if he'd posted any more rubbish.

uh oh

I just read the 3rd of his previous threads, for the first time ...........

and he posted this ...

I went to the CAB, and even they were just as clueless as me. They said that because I'm autistic, that I shouldn't get an apprenticeship, and that I should go to the job centre.

It's very hard to have motivation when I'm told to go to the job centre, and then be absolutely thrilled when I'm given a job behind It's also not very nice being officially diagnosed with autism[/COLOR].

That could explain a lot of things ............ including the ability to understand things

I've never met an autistic person who was so deliberately insulting before, too bad for him but I'm not sure it's an excuse.

That's what I'm thinking, they aren't generally that rude and insulting, in my experience.

I don't think anything he said was to be believed. None of it rang true.

Default Re: An apprenticeship that will get me into Canada?

I was thinking it could explain things like his protective mother, no bank account, leaving school, being told that CAB couldn't help him, etc

Plus his inability to seemingly understand information that people were giving him

I do know of a couple of autistic people who were very much in your face, and rude.

It all depends how much help he has been given to socialize and learn.


Although, I do agree that other things don't fit.

He was deeply unpleasant, and I really don't care why...if they put me next to him in a house or office - pig looking pensioner bitch that I am, I would be moving him to the exit.

Well done Christmas

I'm not trying to excuse his behaviour ..... he was incredibly rude


But I was taken aback when I read that he had been diagnosed as autistic ............. and thought that could explain some of the other things that he said, like his protective mother, no bank account, etc
