The biggest scam ever. seriously!

This is just wrong – I saw this facebook ad for a company that will loan you money until payday – at a Price: Borrow between £80 to £750 at the low, low rate of 1355% APR. No, their isn’t a decimal point missing – its a blatant way to take the piss out of those in a poor financial situation!

Why not take a look at the Fucking dodgy ripp-off merchants here…

The north coast in the sun..


I think they got it wrong when they said it would rain today!

Sea School…

I’m spending next week in the classroom – all week from 9 to 5: Little bit scared as I can’t remember the last time I did that much learning.. I’m going to be doing my Day skipper theory course here in Falmouth Marina. Its one little step in the master plan to one day sail to Ibiza… !

New toys…

So much fun!

Unemployed and homeless!

Well, I’ve finished work and moved out of Bournemouth = it had to happen eventually, but the start of summer seemed a pretty good time to do it! This month I’ll mostly be messing about on the Fal in Cornwall (hopefully doing my motorboat course this week!) before trying to get a job somewhere!

Whilst I’m on one..

…I might as well just put a reminder that I am not the Oliver Jobson that lives in the USA, Florida and is a so called ‘drunk’,'fraudster’ and ‘womaniser’ (other peoples comments, not mine)- but anywho – stop devaluing my name! And if you do want to slag him off, do it at www.oliverjobson.com, not here! There.. now thats better.

Who the bloody hell are you?
