It's been a while since I've been in a massive rage - maybe I've been bottling it up? So here's a real mixed bag;
Firstly, Social Media Influencer - what the f*ck is that?! This is tantamount to a job role these days, apparently. So I'll tell you what; if you're influenced by what you see or read on social media you're an absolute f*ckwit. You either need to sort yourself out or give up on life altogether. Grow a pair, stop being an absolute lemming moron and get out of the house - and leave your f*cking mobile phone inside.
"Acca's": I used to work in a bookies and there was never such a thing as an "acca". This is a completely made-up word for the idiot-generation we now live amongst who can't be arsed speaking properly. And playing straight into the hands of it's desired audience it isn't even a proper abbreviation - it's not an "accAmulator", it's an "accUmulator". Can't even get that right....
Chimps: The news was reporting yesterday that chimps had learned how to watch videos on mobile phones. This isn't news; everywhere I've been for the last decade I've seen chimps absolutely glued to them.
National Insurance & Pensions: Get your head around this one;
Man A earns £200 a month from the age of 20 and pays £11 NI a month - total paid up to retirement age = £12000, qualifies for full UK pension.
Man B earns £2000 a month from the age of 20 and pays £66 NI a month = total paid up to retirement age = £39,600, qualifies for exactly the same pension as Man A.
Man C earns £4168 a month from the age of 20 and pays £413.92 NI a month but retires at age 29; total paid = £44,703, doesn't qualify for any pension at all despite paying in nearly four times as much as Man A.
What was that ever-churned-out saying about the rich getting richer?
