  1. My point exactly Ms Macbeth when I say: "Yes there are the ones out there who exploit the system and they should be ashamed of them selves, but what makes people think they can tar everyone with same brush? " I have no intention of getting in to a personal battle with anyone; I just can’t believe that people can have such negative and narrow minded view on others without ever being in their shoes. And believe me, I am FAR from being a bleeding heart liberal, I just think a little tolerance and respect for ones fellow man can go a long way. Especially when it transpires that they have them selves, had a scrape with redundancy and a narrow escape from taking social “hand outs”. Perhaps they should just consider themselves lucky, rather than finding fault with others less fortunate. Sheffield S6
  2. Yeah good idea...in fact why not just bring back Zyklon B for the unemployed and homeless and see how attractive the minimum wage is to them then eh ?...If I remember rightly someone tried that once before…let me see… who was it ? 3 or 4 years ago I used to employ 10 people in my Company and I earned in excess of £1,500 per week as my wage...have you any idea how much Tax and National insurance I used to pay on that weekly amount? So what exactly were my and everyone else’s payments for, if not for eventualities such as this, where we need to take a little back? Let’s just see then, because if as predicted, unemployment could well triple over the next 2 years and should you ever become a statistic, let’s see how quickly your perspective changes then….Walk a mile in my shoes etc, etc… All I am saying is where is the empathy? No two lives are ever the same so why not have a little compassion and stop judging people on circumstances that they can never fully comprehend. Everyone is entitled to a point of view and quite rightly so, but is discretion not the better part of valour…. This person is supposed to be a perspective employer but who the hell is ever going to go to them for employment when it is clear how small minded and ignorant they are to other people’s lives. Yes there are the ones out there who exploit the system and they should be ashamed of them selves, but what makes people think they can tar everyone with same brush? Not so many years ago people used to think that people from local British Islands were all thick and that people from other warm climates all wore bones in their noses…this is utter crap and we all know it is and that’s why Laws were brought in to place to protect people from such ignorance…so why start a thread which is tantamount to making the same sort of comments in this, so called, modern day and age? What amuses me is that this thread was started by someone moaning, about someone else moaning…so are they not just moaning themselves and therefore no better that the people who they are moaning about? In addition, someone thinks it is fine to criticise over a Million British people but if they think someone just might have masked a word that could possibly have been a minor swear word, then they want to take the moral high ground and play on forum rules to support their ignorant argument. Sorry but I am disgusted !!!
  3. Baffled and confused??....Didn’t take much! What can I say? I'm devastated! And to mask the word pidling so as not to cause offence will surely cause less offence than your attitude.... at least I offered consideration for others. Ooops I typed pidling without masking it...oops there I go again...where is my brain?...Now THAT must be why I'm unemployed eh?
  4. Oooohhh, so my shelf stacking comment appears to have hit a nerve eh?, why could that be I wonder?? Still... the lack of an articulate, well researched and argued point is exactly what I expected, so no shock there....At least we are now getting somewhere and we can at least add hypocrisy to pompous and judgemental....Who was it that said ? "Attack an argument, but not a poster"....dear, dear have you no standards? Oh yes, incidentally you have spelled “argument” incorrectly in your signature box, you know, while were picking fault and all!....Oooh….there’s a thought…perhaps you could offer me employment as your English Tutor…then again…maybe not eh! And please, don’t even attempt to judge where I would fit in the current job market, as you have no comprehension of my academic status nor any idea of my working background, other than what could possibly be gleaned from my previous posts, which is hardly representative of my experience and abilities. So....let's not attempt to turn this in to a pi****g contest shall we? As you will no doubt, invariably find, that you are facing a gale my friend! Sheffield S6
  5. What no reply to my post or questions ??? What’s wrong weren’t we expecting an intelligent, articulate response that could conflict with your opinion ?? I have alway said..... "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt"...at last we have living proof that I was right! Thanks for the confirmation! Sheffield S6
  6. Well said xangelic, here is what I was typing while you were posting your last post: Sorry but I think this argument is being oversimplified by certain individuals. It is not by any stretch of the imagination easy to find work, even if you really want it (or words to that effect). There are variables in this situation, which were touched upon by others but not yet elaborated upon. What follows is based around my views of proper people who genuinely want and need work, but are restricted to what they can take, not the ones who are happy just living on what they can get for free for the rest of their lives. For instance it is implied that there is no pride in claiming benefits, where as there is pride in being employed and earning your self a crust…I agree to a degree but again this is an oversimplification. No one takes pride in being unemployed surely, but should someone who does not take a job, just so as to have a job, be viewed as a social and economic lepper? The answer is NO! Why not take a look below the surface and consider just a few of many possible reasons for a person not taking on a minimum wage job?…. Y’know….before you start to throw the first stone! What about people who have worked hard all their lives and lost their job through their employer going bust…they could have got a mortgage and will have no way to keep up payments if they accept a minimum wage job, once their mortgage protection insurance period runs out? Are they wrong to hold out in the hope of a better paid job so as not to loose every penny that they have paid in to a mortgage over the last 3o years? Are they feeling sorry for themselves by commenting on the injustice of it all or purely making a statement based around a sad state of affairs that has been thrust upon them? Ultimately if someone is going to be financially worse off as a result of just taking any job for the sake of wanting work or “self respect” then this is surely counter productive, especially if the welfare of a child or children may be affected. If this is indeed the case, the state will even then have to offer “hand outs” to supplement this person so as the child/children are not going without. More often than not the amount offered as a supplement can be equal to that that was being claimed prior to accepting the minimum wage job. So what’s the point? Will you now allow someone to take more pride in them selves if this is the case? In fact who are you to say what actions should provide one with or remove one from having self respect, without being able to judge a situation based purely upon its own individual merit? Oh well the job could lead to bigger and better things “eventually” I hear you say…Ah but not in most case, as a job that offers minimum wage very rarely offers any form of job satisfaction or career prospects….. Unless you of course you take exceptional pride in making sure all the labels on the tins you just stacked all face the same way and can take inspiration in that fact that in maybe 7 or 8 years if you play your cards right and never (God forbid) become ill and take time off, you might actually progress to the position of the person who puts sawdust down on the floor when someone drops a bottle of milk! Yes I am being facetious I know, but much in the same vein as the original thread has also been oversimplified…Is my point becoming clear now? Please tell me then, in the case outlined above should one be lacking in self respect by not taking on such a counterproductive vacancy? Even though they may have paid their Taxes and National Insurance Contributions for God knows how long, for just that eventuality, where one should unfortunately become unemployed at some point in their lives? Is it there fore a sign of lack of self respect and a sign of a lack of interest in getting a job, to accept “state handouts” in this situation? Now me personally….I have been employed over the years, I have also been self-employed over the years and I have also been an employer for a good few years, I have also had the misfortune to be on the other side of the fence and been unemployed, as I am indeed now. I shall not venture further into my personal situation at this juncture as I don’t feel that I need to justify my point of view to that degree, however I shall state and shall forever stand by my statement that, unless you have been in every conceivable situation and had the benefit of viewing a situation from every conceivable perspective, then is it really pertinent to judge and indeed criticise in general when there is clearly no such thing in life as a black and white situation?...or does mitigation stand for nothing in your view as a perspective employer who would be expected to have a duty of care and moral perspective and empathy with the people that you employ?

  9. Thank you Yellowrose and everyone else for your support. All the best for the New Year everyone.
  10. Can I just point out what I am doing is nothing new. Check out this website, I am a member. http://www.pestandvermincontrol.org.uk
  11. Thanks Buck for highlighting that point and also thank you Tony, for preventing this thread from becoming out of hand. I had no intention of provoking such a response.
  12. Well of course people are entitled to their oppinions lol. All I can say is that the shoots are held at a fully Licenced, fully Insured locations and are run by Fully Licenced, highly experienced Gun Smiths, Hunters and sports Guns alike. It is all LEGAL, above board and safety training and assesments are made by the event organisers prior to anyone even getting their hands on a Shot Gun and they are continuously observed during the shoot so as to ensure that safety standards are maintained throughout the shoot. I can assure you that the way these events are organised can only possibly promote sensible aproaches to the sport and Gun safety alike. I must say however, that to suggest that I am not fit to have a public place for meeting due to my sporting interests is rediculous and at best outrageous and only goes to highlight peoples ignorance on the subject. But like I say...your entitled to your oppinion...no matter how small minded and ill informed. Thanks for the support you Guys who felt the need to fight my corner. It is very much appreciated
  13. Hi there, I am a Landlord based in Stannington and I have recently formed a Sporting Gun Club. I am looking for people who may have a vermin/pest controll problem on their private land and who would be willing to allow myself and/or my fellow Gun Club members, on to their land, in order for me/us to shoot and get on top of the problem. Be it Rats, Squirrells, Rabbits, Crows etc, I can arrange to visit you and your Land so as to address the issues and you would be doing me a great favour for allowing me access to your land and vermin. Please Personal Message me with you Name, contact details and Location so that I can contact you as soon as possible to discuss visiting you. Hope to hear from you soon. Seasons greetings to all. SheffieldS6
  14. Hi Guys, First of all I must apologise for my slow response to your replys, But Ive been really pulled out lately with the Pub. Any way...The original offer that I was made for the clay shoots turned out to be not be such a great offer after all. However, I have managed to find an alternative venue where the Shot Guns are supplied free of charge, all you need is ÂŁ15 for the venue along with the clays and ÂŁ5 for a box of cartridges, so just ÂŁ20 in total for a bloody good morning out. My intention is for us all to meet up at the Pub (Deerstalker) and for us to share transport to the Shoot and back, along with a few beers after the shoot back at the Pub. Any way, please PM me with your name and contact number if you are up for joining the Club and coming Shooting, this way I can line up a shoot in the near future and keep you posted with the details such as time and date etc. Hope to hear from you all soon. All the best for the festive season Guys n Gals, SheffieldS6
  15. Hi everyone, I have recently taken over The Deerstalker Pub in Stannington and started a Sporting Gun Club, I would be very interesed in talking to anyone interested in joining my Club and also people who have a local Vermin problem that they would like addressing by myself and my fellow Gun Club Members. I recently visited Dave Dixon (trading as Arthur Turners) at his home and he is a very nice guy, any way I can arange 50 clays on a Sunday morning for the bargain price of ÂŁ10-15, but only through The (my) Deerstalker Sporting Gun Club. Please PM me if you are interested in joining and attending our Sporting shoot days. They will include target, clays and game shoots if anyone is interested. Ultimately it is my goal to obtain an experienced Game Chef to be able to produce freshly made meals with the game that we shoot so that we can enjoy a quality Pint (or 8 ) along with our freshly prepared meals for a minimal charge or if Gun Club Sub's apply then the meal preperation shall (hopefully) be free of charge. There is nothing finer than sitting around with your fellow Guns and eating your own Game at the end of of good Days shoot along with a quality Pint or two, to wash it down. Also I can arrange very cheap paint balling days out if anyone is interested in testing their field skills, because if a Human can spot you, the Game will see you a Mile away lol Kindest regards, SheffieldS6:)
