I'd be amazed if it's paid, I applied to plenty of sports clubs for paid internships this time last year and the only ones who could pay were Man United and Dagenham & Redbridge!

Having said that, if this opportunity was around before I got a paid job I'd have snapped their hands off for the chance, paid or not, as EHFC said most students budget over 52 weeks, since you only get 3 payments a year.

That's because it's totally meaningless

Not only do I not believe it I can prove it. My ESA benefit has not increased for the last 3 years. Oh, you get a letter with the breakdown of benefit, a component for ESA, a component for age, a component for being in the Support Group. They give you a 5% increase of one component, then reduce another component by the same amount thus leaving you with exactly the same income yet claiming you have had a 5% rise. ConDem by name...........

Real good thread this.

And moved so far away from any reference to Hull FC it can be continued in the Sin Bin
