I opened it and slowly withdrew part of the letter from the Revenue and my panic-stricken eyes flew to the figure which made me feel sick! I tossed the letter to one side in the absolute certainty that I didn't have the money to pay 10% of it, let alone the whole amount.<BR/><BR/>After a strong, black coffee I returned to the letter and this time drew it fully from its envelope - to see a cheque attached to the bottom! I, too, had overpaid. Oh, the bliss, the joy, the ecstasy, and of course, wastrel that I was and still am, I immediately toddled off to the local wine store for a bottle of 'champers'. And no, before you ask, I didn't drink a toast to whichever lying, conniving, two-faced rat-fink was then the Second Lord of the Treasury!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147612715535980042006-05-14T14:18:00.000+01:002006-05-14T14:18:00.000+01:00"What's myspace for anyway?"Well, I hear it seems ..."What's myspace for anyway?"<BR/><BR/>Well, I hear it seems to be popular with stalkers and nubile young ladies with webcams but beyond that.................not too sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147611463349605812006-05-14T13:57:00.000+01:002006-05-14T13:57:00.000+01:00I have considered the possibility that Prescott ha...I have considered the possibility that Prescott has something on Blair. But what? It must be financial Blair doesn't strike me as imaginative above to be into weird sex. <BR/>Westcoaster, you have indeed joined my group. I'm not entirely sure what the point of myspace is myself. I won't be blogging on it because the blog format is rubbish. It's supposed to be very good for networking but I've never networked in my life. It strikes me as a bit crass just to accost someone on myspace and demand that they further my career.Clairwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503239355248016287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147601940716942382006-05-14T11:19:00.000+01:002006-05-14T11:19:00.000+01:00I joined your group, at least I think I did.

Being a student I don’t mind income tax so much, partly because at the minute I get a rebate and partly because I don’t mind paying it, council tax is another matter. It strikes me that were I come from a pensioner living down the road pays 20% of her pension in council tax every week, I cant help feeling that’s wrong. As for the happyslapping charlatan that is Prescott I’ll say nothing.<BR/><BR/><I>On an unrelated topic that was a mighty nice thing you did Clairwil, thank you.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147440530961474982006-05-12T14:28:00.000+01:002006-05-12T14:28:00.000+01:00John Prescott reminds me of J Edgar Hoover.He must...John Prescott reminds me of J Edgar Hoover.<BR/>He must have something on old Tony to still be hanging around.<BR/>Wonder if he dresses up in ladies clothes too?Falloff Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691814986811183331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147421845684417382006-05-12T09:17:00.000+01:002006-05-12T09:17:00.000+01:00That's probably why people dislike council tax.

Income tax you never had, council tax you have to pay so it seems worse, like paying for things on a card doesn't feel like spending money.<BR/><BR/>Our council went Tory in the last election, doesn't this mean they're supposed to lower the council tax?Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841187654606981532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1147392325628982442006-05-12T01:05:00.000+01:002006-05-12T01:05:00.000+01:00Victory is sweet.
