Diary – Wednesday 28th October 2015

My welfare review meeting went relatively painlessly. They were pleased by how many jobs I have sent for in the last few weeks, though none proved fruitful. They suggested I search on their own Twitter page, possibly hoping that by adding my own Twitter page I would give them access to everything else I do, especially anything indicating undisclosed work and earnings. I can actually read and click on the leads from their Twitter feed without subscribing to it. I hit the library next, actually two separate library branches, as I could use the computers for an hour in each. I was killing time between my welfare meeting and the bar crawl in the evening (reviewed separately). I was expecting to have a limited budget until I am paid my next welfare payment on Friday, but someone who owes me money was out and happily gave me the cash he owed so I was able to relax a lot more. Manchester was busy as there was a Bob Dylan concert on, and both Manchester City and Manchester United football clubs were playing at home. The Metrolink tram ride home was very crowded.

I can imagine that Manchester was busy, an important football match and the Bob Dylan concert surely attracted plenty of people.

Whenever I think of Manchester I think of the Chaser Ann on The Chase.

I am sure they would be watching all your social activity. Perhaps a second Twitter account is the key to happiness for everyone.

I can access theirs without subscribing to it - I just need to see the links to jobs they recommend

I'm glad your appointment went well and you got paid so you weren't hurting for money. I don't miss riding buses they were always crowded and I hated it. Glad to have my own car now

What a way to police your life and earnings.. and you are smart to give them the slip.

I love Bob Dylan music - but i must say his rendition of Forever Young is trumped by the version by Rod Steward - but I do like his Knocking on Heavens door.
