    In that 3 months could you tell us exactly how much you got paid from JSA?

    IMHO, best best is to not pay salary and claim JSA.
    I seem to remember from your original posts on JSA virtually no one supported that line so not sure how you think anyone will have a opinion on the in's and out's of claiming it.

    How about don't take your 11 year old to Florida for the 10th time and don't bother with JSA?

        I get the feeling that it's rather PC who wants to go to Florida than his son. I can imagine his son going "Butlins, Pontins, Tenby dinosaur park anywhere but not f**king Florida again!"

            How do you know you're not?

                Claim it.

                Then regale us with another tale of hoe the people at the dole office don't understand how you can keep claiming this and making yourself redundant. Then regale us with another tale of how you've got no money left in the company. Then regale us with another tale of how you need to take another low-paying contract. Then regale us with another tale of how you're going to jump from there into a better paying one. Then regale us with another "has anyone noticed that clients don't want to deal with people like me" thread. Then regale us with another thread about how the low-paying role has finished and you don't know whether you should claim JSA or not.

                Please make sure that you post all these threads in a professional forum, so that people might not explicitly call you a knob for repeatedly doing the same thing ad nauseum.

                  Personally, I would like to be regaled with another tale of how people keep calling him a knob for regaling us with tales even though such tales are in the professional forum.

                  Oh, and FaQQer, come to the front of the class and decline the noun 'nausea'.

                    But lets not get back into that old argument again. Its been done to death.
                    If you don't want to claim it, then don't. If you do, then you can. Simple as.
                    It has been done to death and remember, as I said, very few people supported the idea so further posts on what to do about it are not really going to provide anything useful 'cept a good slagging session. You didn't kinda learn that lesson from the 'done to death' posts? All this for the equivalent of less than 6 weeks salary?

                    Oh, and FaQQer, come to the front of the class and decline the noun 'nausea'.
                    Oh.. Pedant fight. This should be interesting!
