Hey, don't include me in that!

I'm off down Tesco's latter. Make sure that the shelves are fully stacked. You've been a bit of a slacker recently.

Code cruncher? I don't think so - I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag.

Eh???

I'm off out of the country as soon as I can convince the wife that Canada is not too cold There is no future in this country any more IMHO. Doesn't change my opinion that you are talking a load of b*ll*cks though.

that is pretty dumb post andyw...

1. If you got kids then why not pay the CSA
2. like someone said 38000 is still better net than 34000
3. 31 in a 30 zone well unlucky but how many times have you done 40 in a 30 zone?

I am not a troll but really .....

Because, they want over the top payments, like £160 per week for each kid. Only, if its the goverment making the payments then the payments are ten quid a week but if it you then, well, we'll just have as much as you can afford matey. oh BTW my son is 18 so im talking about friends.

people dont mind paying for their kids, just not silly amounts that leave them skint putting a strain on their current relationship !

wake up and smell the coffee !

2 different things: what you should pay for your kids; what the government should pay for your kids.

600-odd a month doesn't seem like a lot for an IT contractor to allocate to his or her child. Unless, as I remarked earlier, you don't really expect children to be a significant expense. Most people who have children expect them to be their whole life.

3. Why shouldn't the 30mph limit mean what it says on the tin?

In principle it should - although your assumption is that car speedometers are 100% accurate ( the reason why police cars have 2 speeds = 1 standard issue & 1 calibrated), when I were a lad there was a 10% margin of error on speedos either way, and plod would only prosecute you if you were 10% over...which seemed a pretty fair & just way of working.

Now in this fecked up country we are prosecuted for any transgression, auto fined for any lateness in submitting documentation and seem to spend most of our lives watching over our shoulders.
