I was sat watching the news and eating my dinner with Gem and Bonnie, when something about the “Wheelbase project” came on. It showed a grass track nova that had been “done up” to be used in grass track, banger style racing - COOL!!
The wheelbase project is;
“an innovative project based in Nottingham working with young people aged 14-25 years old who are at risk of crime and social exclusion”
The kids who they interviewed on the news were all boasting about how they “dropped out of school” or used to “always get into fights” - one kid even confessed to setting his teacher on fire…
HOLD ON A MINUTE
So let me get this straight, these kids have dropped out of school becasue they were dragged up rather than brought up, and in payment for being a wart on the arse of society they get to play about with cars instead of sitting in a boring classroom listening to some boring teacher drone on about boring subjects that are, well, boring?!
Well thats it then!
KIDS! If you want a career in the motor trade or you just cant be arsed to work hard at school, all you have to do is set your teacher on fire, smash a few school windows and kill any farm animals your school may keep! Simple! And as a reward you will be able to tinker about with cars, build grass track racers and even race them!
WHAT THE FUCK?!
These kids chose their own path, they chose to be scumbags, so why waste money on them? Yeah sure, a few of them have reformed, a few of them no longer wish for all their teachers to be dead, but that doesn’t change the fact they once did, and it certainly doesn’t make all the things they have done wrong, right.
About ten years ago me and my mate timmyroob went on something very similar, called “The Wheels Project” - you never know, the wheelbase project could be a spin off from that? And we spent our entire 6 weeks holiday visiting scrap yards, making a off road buggy and learning to drive a transit van round a field.
All sounds like fun doesn’t it? Well we had to pay (cash money) to go on it, and the miscreant that was on it with us was one of these oxygen thieves, and he got to go on it free.
I remember it boiling my blood back then, and today seeing that the Wheelbase project is set to roll out nationwide - well lets just say boiling point has been reached, and its bubbling over the sides.
I cant possibly be the only person in the world that finds this both unfair, and a complete piss take. Genuine hard working kids get nothing like this and have to PAY OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS to do cool shit like this, but little bastards that set teachers on fire get it free.
Its bullshit!

Right! Bit of a rant coming up!
Basically before Bex left we got a letter from the electricity company, saying our current direct debit of x amount was not enough, and they recommend that we change our direct debit, as it was not covering the amount of electricity we were using. Without giving it a second thought I left it at that. Now I’ll admit to one thing, I hardly ever pay any attention to my bills, and as long as there is a direct debit set up making sure the bills are covered, and that I have enough money in my account to cover this I leave it at that. Anyway, by chance I happened to notice my Electricity bill whilst looking for something else in my file of bills and random things. Basically over x amount of months I’ve managed to get myself nearly £300 in credit with them! The cheeky thing is they dont send you letters telling you! They just sit there watching your money fill up! Cheeky twats! Anyway I decided enough was enough, and that I wanted to lower my payments and also wanted the money back, as it would serve a better purpose in my bank account rather than theirs! Rang them and explained that I’ve been paying far too much over how ever many months it’s been, and that I wanted to lower my payments. All OK according to the bloke, but lets see how easy it is to get them to part with my money! Hmmmm. Anyway that was on Monday. Thursday I walk through the door, and they had sent me a bloody letter. Claiming that as part of their REGULAR REVIEW of my account, THEY have come to the conclusion that x quid a month is far too much, and that they suggest Y quid a month instead! Which just so happened to be the same amount that I TOLD THE ON THE PHONE I wanted to pay! :? So do they only review peoples account if they ring up and want money back? Also I’m due another bill later this month, so not gonna chase my money, until I know what they next bill is, and how much I’m in credit with them! IF it’s a substantial amount, and it takes forever to get the money out of them I’ll just visit uswitch.com, and change my supplier! I just couldnt believe the cheek of the letter!!
