19 - Wrath of the Barclay

19

couldn't arse about anymore when i got to that age and took the plunge. Loved them unemployment, couldn't give an arse days. And i wasn't claiming benefits and living off the state, just by choice. Had some money that matured when i was 18 and lived off that until nearly 20.
