I found this on "southcoastdiaries" A fab site about a guy called Duncan, who took a year out of the rat race to live on the dole in the seaside town of Hastings. Whare every summer people used to go to live the alt life, before the social tightoened up. It still makes me laugh.and its a thing i've done. Its called . DOLO LOTTO.
01 Enter Jobcentre and take numbered ticket from dispenser 02 Check LED wall display to see how many people are supposed to be seen before you 03 Check who's on the desks and give each a 'gestapo rating' 04 If someone's taken a ticket since you did, help yourself to another 05 Go outside and smoke a fag 06 Walk back in and take a few more tickets 07 Wait. Take the occasional ticket while you're at it 08 Think about the universe while memorising your ticket numbers, which are 78, 80, 82, 83, 85 and 86 09 Your first number, 78, is now being called by Adolf Hitler (Gestapo Rating: 10/10), so naturally you ignore the announcement. He moves on. "79" he says. No takers. "Aha, someone else is playing the game too," you realise 10 "80" says Adolf. That's yours. Keep your head down 11 "81" snarls Adolf, clearly irritated. Some idiot walks over 12 The blonde jobcentre chick (Gestapo Rating 5/10) has finished with her current punter and is getting ready to call. She's usually not too bad, but looks in a bit of a mood today. You notice that ponytail bloke (2/10) is also moving into call mode. You have a quick glance at your remaining numbers - 82, 83, 85 and 86 - and remind yourself that somebody else in the room is also playing. 13 Step 13: "82" says blonde chick. Do you settle for her? No, you decide to hang in there. You check Ponytail bloke. He's almost ready! 14 "83" says blonde chick 15 "84" says blonde chick. Whoever's got 84 doesn't want her either. You suspect this player - your rival - owns ticket 87, and is also waiting for ponytail bloke 16 "85" says blonde chick. Come on, come on, come on... 17 "86" says ponytail bloke. Bingo. You have won a game of Dole Lotto.
