Gluestick Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Not an easy profession,nowadays Sweets.Far too many changes in tax law and the very structure of HMRC.Plus, of course, endless compliance issues now on such as Money Laundering.I shall be glad soon to semi-retire![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 What, you still there looking for a fight, Erns? How's the horse-wagon coming along and have you finished that tow-bar yet?Go on, then, have you no work to do or are you downing tools in a sulk just because of something I said on another thread? (incredulous look on my face and an expression of "well, what do you expect, he's a man). Why don't they provide more emoticons, couldn't find the precise one to use!

TWINKLE Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sweets!You seem to have an awful lot of knowledge about certain male forum members - how many picnics have you been to lately?[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Only to Renaud's, Twinks. Then, when he fished those bikini bottoms out of his swimming pool and no one would admit to owning them, poor Renaud had to go around trying to match them up to the female (at least I assume it was a woman) who had discarded them, I thought it was time to go home!

mint Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Alas, not many to bicker with now.Gluestick has gone off forum in a huff, Powerdesal is now all happy and looking forward to moving to France full time, ErnieY is unusually mellow and talking about retirement!How boring are all these people?Moi?

Tony F Dordogne Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Sweet, go to the health thread, could be a storm brewing there.And what upset Gluey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Tony, Gluey was upset because people were unsympathetic about his grouse re his tenants.He'd installed a "period" bathroom suite complete with shell edges and people were distinctily unimpressed with it and started making fun of his taste.Result, he swore he'd never darken this forum again and....well, that's it really.A storm in a teacup if there ever is one.As for you, are you holding up your own on the IB thread?I won't even go there in case I got hit by "friendly fire"!

mint Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 krusty, don't remind me, this friendly fire is a lot less "friendly" and more to do wiht "fire", IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 [quote user="sweet 17"]As for you, are you holding up your own on the IB thread?I won't even go there in case I got hit by "friendly fire"![/quote]Abandoned that one and left it to the opinionated and those struggling with their health problems - my life is officially too short to get into those sort of silly arguments any more especially as my generaliste told me yesterday that my spleen is so enlarged it could rupture any time if I have even the slightest of accidents and that it would be immediately fatal because of the size of it, I'd never make it to hospital alive!! Sort of concentrates the mind a bit.Sometimes there seems to be a total inability to live and let live, especially when many of the people involved either aren't effected by bad health and it's consequences or don't want to understand what other people are writing - I mean, when people say they're against fraud and fiddling even tho they claim IB, that seems to be the end of the discussion and even if they claim IB in France, that's up to them if they are too ill to work, not for the opinionated to even suggest (as non medical people with no knowledge of the people, nor their medical condition/status) that they shouldn't be claiming. Tho of course everybody is entitled to voice their opinion.Sorry, feeling a bit touchy at the moment, it's all too close to home.Now the DLA, that's another matter ............

Weedon Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not sure whether this counts as a bicker, rant or a hard done by post. I am trying to think of ways of boosting my income, so I tried the "Winter fuel allowance" route but apparently I moved here a year too early so that rules me out of that one. This IB business looks like it could be a goer for me as I read the long list and I am sure I qualify under the Speech...Descriptor Points C and D (strangers cannot understand me) which add up to 25 points. How much can I expect to receive? I don't mind being called a "feckless waster." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear about your poor health Tony[:(] As you say - life is too short for bickering, I don't know you sweetheart but I really hope the rest of your days are happy ones[kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not Waster, Weedon (although Waster Weedon has a certain ring for a badge don't you think? [:)] ) Feckless Fidler I think was the term......[:)][:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
