Have you ever seen any films that you thought were so bad they're actually good? I have to be in the right mood, but I do enjoy a terrible Hallmark movie. It's always a high-flying city girl being drawn back to her home town and meeting a dishy-but-flawed baker who makes her question her life choices. The scripts are…

i’m on LCWRA and my work coach has floated some "voluntary" meetings about doing courses has anyone else had this? trying to figure out if "voluntary" is a trap, and if turning them down is going to mess with my benefits

My current home is a shared-ownership bungalow with HOLD. Unfortunately, HOLD has confirmed that they cannot become involved in the Section 106 arrangements relating to the alternative property I am considering. I have significant health and mobility needs and therefore need a bungalow rather than a conventional house. I…

In this age of having a housing crisis, I'm amazed at how many abandoned properties exist in the UK. Not sure if anyone is aware, or watches on YouTube a guy called Adam Mark's explores. He uploads a new explore every Sunday normally, and has been running now for roughly 6 years. So basically he discovers and explores…

I seek a partner, or even partners in crime, so to speak, to draft up class action lawsuits against a select few, to start the…

People with…

Hello Does anyone know any disability employment organisations in Manchester that help people with finding voluntary work?

Hello Scope Community, I chose my username to reflect what I feel is what we all tend to feel and suffer! I should have used Prince Charming, really, but I guess that would not work with the same impact and would make me sound bigheaded ;P
