Have I missed something?

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Look, peeps, I've obviously missed another DFL type joke here but, at the risk of being ridiculed, Tax Collector is yet another of Matts' many aliases, right? The 'fluide magique', knowledge of the Med, light aircraft etc and the spotty cat bounding about on his personal details plus a certain rambling prose style all point to the notorious turkey fancier, Bernard Matthews, n'est ce pas?

Not a DFL joke, just a (notified) ID change...

Reminder that DFL incidents not welcome, the hours are long enough as it is.

I do hope the new Matts loses none of the sparkle which the old one had

So who might be a little sore at the annual tax return deadline-large cheque for the Onland Revenue eh. Will the next name change be to the Easter Bunny......!

It's interesting though innit. Postings by matts generally get at least 15 or so replies. Since he changed to tax collector he's got 10 or less replies. Is this because our (well my at least) natural reaction to any letter or correspondence from tax collector is to ignore it? Perhaps he's "shot himself in the foot" with this choice of name.

Course you're all going to reply to this one just to prove me wrong aren't you.

Well his damn cat is dead again this morning, there it is in mid air, not moving a whisker.

Just had to reply to this. Now i'm not one to judge people(normally) I take them as i find them. I dont really know if I'm a good judge of character or not, BUT, I've had dealings contact with Tax collectors/civil servents and how cant i put this,ermm, not exactly the life and sole of the party, I worked in one tax office and one of the drones asked how "much for some work to be carried out at home". Now my reply was "well i can do it for cash, nod nod, wink wink. Somehow the jovial tone got lost somewhere in the ether, and never registered in the grey matter, then looking around me troughout the day i noticed not one person ever smiled, laughed or anything.

Now im not saying that matts/taxcollector is of this ilk as some of his/her postings prove (I know im just gonna get shot down in flames anyway) but lets be serious, would you admit to it, its like being at a party and saying your a Librarian (apologies to librarians out there). The room clears around you in 10 seconds flat.

Anyhow just my thoughts, I'm ready for that flaming now.

Think you're right there Barry. it's like how to get a drink in a crowded bar? "Oh I'm an Independent Financial Advisor, would you like to save some money?" Zonk, the place is empty and you're suddenly next in line to order your drinks. Easy.

Bloody hell! You must have got well over the asking price for your boat or Harrier jump jets are being let go at bargain prices, cos your boats just turned into a plane. No no i've got it wrong, you've just installed a flight deck on your boat, you flash sod.

regards BarryH

Lets have some discrimination around this forum. Kick out all civil servants, librarians, flash sods, poor people, rich people, people who don't actually own a boat ...... and people who just dream of boats.

That should cut the postings down.
