      Nearly, what they're doing is taxing 5.5% of your income tax. I've never managed to get out of it but they did stop it for a while (probably when Churchill was working here) and then brought it back again. Apprently there is something going through the courts and Bundestag which might see all of us who can't vote getting it all back
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          It was a German who said:

          The Afghans are a brave, hardy, and independent race; they follow pastoral or agricultural occupations only ... With them, war is an excitement and relief from the monotonous occupation of industrial pursuits.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
