Urgh... so I was at the job centre twice this week sorting out my claim form. I'm transfering the dole from Ireland so it's not even their fucking money they're paying. The guy mentioned national insurance number so I said 'yeh, I'll need one of those' and he said 'don't worry, we'll sort one out for you' so in my card he gave me which I need to sign on, the national insurance number thing was filled out so I presumed that was it. I asked them how much it would convert to in euro and he said to call the benefit number the next day. So I called it today. She asked me for my national insurance number, I gave it to her and she said 'no, that's not one... and I can't process your claim til you get one' so I'd to call another number. Now I've to fucking go to Birmingham on Monday to do a fucking interview to get one, even though I'd an hour and a half long interview on Wednesday... what the fuck was that about?... in the meantime, all I know is I have to sign on every fucking two weeks... and who the fuck knows if and when I'm ever going to get any fucking money. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... does ANYBODY know how the fuck to do their job?

The woman I called first today... when I was talking to her she had all attitude and said 'sorry I don't understand a word you're saying' :mad: then she asked me if I'm from Northern Ireland or the Free state? :eek: :confused:

fucking hell.. then they expect you to be looking for work the whole time, when this is taking up every fucking day!

    :o funny how even typing it out helps clear some of the frustration... and a cigarette :o

    I'm just soooo fucking annoyed. If they keep telling me they don't know what's going on, I'm gonna have to contact the department at home cos they were much more competent and helpful... and you don't just get passed from person to person who decide, while they have you on the line, that there's something else you should do for THEM! They're gonna fuck me around for weeks... but they've NO idea how fucking stubborn I can be :)

    URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :eek:

    Hells a NI number would be written AB 12 34 56 C. Not surprised you have to go to one of the main job centres for an interview to get one these days.

    How often do you have to sign on in Ireland?
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    :( unfortunately! They were probably just better at home cos I'm Irish and they deal with very few Irish people... but here I suppose I'm a foreigner so they're in no rush to help. Fair enough I suppose :cool: but they really fucking make you jump through hoops. When I was putting my claim through the other day, the guy even asked if I'm pregnant?????????? :eek: what the fuck?

    Every month... and get paid weekly. Here I have to sign on every two weeks and get paid bi-weekly I suppose :confused:

    Oh I'm not bothered about the HAVING to go get the NI number... I just wish he'd told me. Cos he said he'd sort it out for me and then filled in some kinda number so I presumed that was it. He didn't tell me that if I DIDN'T go for this interview, my claim couldn't be processed :o I'd imagine that's pretty fucking important information :D

    if i was moving to another country i would have all this done beforehand... but i'm what you call in Ireland 'a genius'... or 'normal' here in the UK. :):D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    no, what you should have done was

    a) inform your local lazy fuckers dept or Job Centre in The Free State, whatever you prefer and ask them, seeing as they are all knowing in this matter, what the procedure is once you're on the mainland.

    b) phone across to Englandshire and speak to someone some 2 months ago and say "hi i'm moving to your shithole of a country, how the fuck do i transfer my skiving allowance to your stupid system"


    easy :D

    a. I did inform my local people... they gave me the form I needed and that was all I had to do there. I asked them what I have to do... they said to go to the local place here and hand them the form and that was it.

    b. I didn't know I was moving 2 months ago... I hadn't thought about even transferring til a few weeks before I was moving. And my local people had ALREADY told me how to transfer here.

    easy... til you deal with incompetency! Nobody knows what the fucking form IS that I gave them :eek:

    And fuck you and your fucking mainland.
