Bill Gates offers "birds", "gamebirds", "fowl" as alternatives to "geese", but thinks that "numers" should be replaced by either "numbers" or "mummers".

Would you like to clarify?

Perhaps you'd like to consult your university notes, or degree certificate?

Ah shit, this is too easy. Live well and prosper.

Night.

I would suggest picking another target, perhaps someone from your secondary school classmates might suffice. Pick the one who is predicted to get ten A's. S/he might be able to entertain you for as long as your Mum allows you to text.

I guess you are all good chums, seeing as you have been packing boxes since Oct. 2002. 5 years...........What a shame, it seemed such a good site. Dont send me anymore emails, not interested. After this amount of years, you should have a better understanding of what people request from a site..........surely there is a moderator here!

Having hardly been on here all weekend because I do have a life, just found this posting and am responding only in case someone reading it thinks there is some semblence of truth in this outright lie. Please feel free to go back through all my postings - I mentioned my child once and once only - hardly "often". Resorting to lies is rather telling, I think, about your personality. End of.

Once on this thread but you often mention the child. Why you should be sensitive about that is lost on me, presumably having a handicapped child is the central fact of your life. That you have/had such a child is all I know about you from previous postings. It would be interesting to know the nature of the handicap and why you chose not to take the government's financial assistance.

I must not be getting it. My whole point is she is encouraged not to work because the government will pay her plenty as long as she works 16hours + a week.!!!
with you on this one. I know of plenty of families that dont work as they get more money from the social than they can hope to make working. so alot of them keep banging out babies that everyone else pays for.
What gets me is i was in a similar position myself where me and husband were living on under £100 a week for a while when he had an accident while a family member was working so was his wife (parttime teaching assistant) got family credit and £400 a month maintenance. Apparently they told me maintance is not included in your income! when they work out family credit. :curse:

To me personally i think some fathers are asked to pay to much and some get a way with paying none at all, like my :curse: ex. I got £15 a week (yes he was working) then he decided to disappear and even though i gave the CSA exact locations and work addresses for him when they were supplied to me they dropped the case after a few years as they said they could never track him down!

I think the problem here is she seems to be 'earning' more in benefits/wages then a normal working person would or am i getting it wrong

I am not sure whether you are sour and bitter about the benefits system or, more likely women .

BTW professionally you should direct this woman to a colleague, you are way too involved.
But he is being responsible for his children, hes paying maintance is'nt he? i think you may have missed the part where she was playing around. In my books that makes her a voluntary single parent.

DBD likes to antagonize doesn't he

I also have a child with a disability. I never received or asked for any benefits. My sister has a child with the same disability and is receiving extra benefits for her.

I know of a family that have 3 children with supposed 'ADHD'. She received on top of her benefits a very nice large amount of money for 'extra' things her children would need. One of which was a new car every 3 years to take the children around in etc as they could not be trusted to travel by public transport very very rarily was that car used for them, they were sent of on the bus or bike. Extra clothing allowence etc yet they walked around like tramps. Oh yeah this is while she had a top of the range kitchen installed, new clothes, the list could go on and on. Oh and the best one being making them take a paper round and they had to give part of those 'wages' to her. she was raking it in from every angle.

At the time i was disgusted about the abuse of those benefits and never sort them for my child as we got along the same as normal i just had to help her out more etc.

Are you saying that no one should ever take the benefits? Is it ok for the disabled child to live on benefits after the parents are dead or bankrupt?
