BN66 - JR Judgement Day

[swede]

Somewhat OT but I used to have a few beach donks over winter. Cantankerous gits the lot of them. Thankfully I never had to load them or I'd just have converted them to salami. However, easiest way I ever found of loading a particularly awkward equine (assuming the usual feed bucket and patience hasn't worked) was:-

Lunge rope on right hand side of vehicle (quite high). Lunge rope behind rear knees of animal, second end of lunge rope through eye - quite high on LHS. Gently and slowly pull on rope so it puts light pressure behind knees, light pressure then on lead rein attached to head collar and up they go. You never know it might work for you (though if the bugger tries to jump and lands on you don't blame me).

Yet another solid example of why we need this forum.

in the words of little britain is he a discontented or perturbed donkey...

Maybe just a little perplexed?

Maybe just a little perplexed?

or maybe just a little unfulfilled

I vote we chalk our message at the top of Beachyhead so incoming flights to the UK can see it.

Memo to HMRC: Stop surfing!

We've only moved him the once and it did involve a lot of rope!!!

There was also a lot of swearing.

I'd love to see HMRC's bailiffs try and sieze him.

Now that would be a photo worth taking.

Seriously though, if HMRC do send bailiffs, maybe we could take photos and start an ugly mugs gallery of shame.

WelBeck

I had my monthly sales pitch from Welbeck Group today. They all read off the same card:-

WB Sales Rep: "Hi, am calling from The Welbeck Group , I take it you have heard of us? We are financial advisors specialising in ....."

Maddog - "I am so glad you called, especially after I asked you to remove me from your dialling list last month. I have heard of you because I believe your company recommended a tax avoidance scheme to some IT contractors, and they are now facing bankruptcy due to a recent high court ruling. Can you advise how you will compensate your clients in such circumstances ?

WB Sales Rep: "That was another part of the organisation, but I can look into for you and come back to you this afternoon ? "

Maddog - "That would be most useful, I shall remain at my desk and will await your call."

I am hoping I have now been successfully removed from their "potential client dailling list"

I suggest we hold fire for the moment.

At some point, not in the foreseeable future admittedly, when the up turn comes and capital markets get working there may be a rise in inward investment in the UK, i think we have a duty to advise potential investors of the implications of the precedent set by retrospective legislation, see if that would focus the next government on rescinding this pernicious legislation, as they may be iterested in stimulating the economy.....
