I have income insurance. So if I got made redundant, I'd still get paid, basically. So I'd need to either resign or get fired in order to get to this situation. At which point I would naturally mooch off my girlfriend while applying for other jobs. *shrug* She did it to me for years, it would be entirely justified. *nod*

Also, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think I can get the dole if I got fired. I am, at the moment, a mere 'resident' rather than 'citizen'. I have a visa which I'm pretty sure the UK government would be quick to remove should I start claiming benefits.
