      The site's accelerating a bit now.

      Disappointing news about BN66 though.

        People use this site for serious stuff??
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          You can't just ****ing expect to pay 2% income tax on same earnings where as others pay 40% (+NI) - I am sure that will be in the judgement, probably put in a nice eloquent legal language.

          The real criminal part in my view is claiming "human rights" as excuse to avoid paying due tax, FFS - humans rights stuff was meant to protect people from tortured or murdered by the state, not pay 2% tax when others pay 40%.

          At the very least anybody who tries such stunts should have deposited difference in tax they would have paid normally (like everyone else) for 6-7 years to use it in case court rules against them rather than spend the money that were never theirs.

              There is nothing self-righteous in my position - it's just not being ****ing dumb expecting to get away with **** like this on the basis of "human rights" being violated.

                AtW you dodgy g'et. You've been on 24999 posts for ages, how come you keep posting and your postcount keeps going down or staying the same.

                You're deleting posts to ensure you never do a 25000th post.
