It's kind of hard to explain how my train of thought goes, but I just scoped this;

Mine too

But I just scoped this

Jet propelled skunk with the afterburner on full? Lucky shot. Don't see many of them in Etherville _{or so I'm told}.

Reportedly, this is an actual reply from the UK Inland Revenue.
The Guardian allegedly had to ask for special permission to print it.

Dear Mr Addison,

I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order.

Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.

Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain , with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.

Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing whores" whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system."

A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:

1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system;

2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrow of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable.

I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India " you would still owe us the money.

Please send it to us by Friday.

Yours sincerely,
H J Lee

Inland Revenue

That is worthy of applause.

I especially like this:

on an unrelated note I was looking at the guest line up & noticed that AO had a single contribution here on OTP

& that his last post is 2 days from now

he gets credited for the challenge questions without signing his work

Grrr

izzat more spooky action at a (temporal) distance?

I had taken a look at kaputski lutefish's profile & noticed that his last post was purged

His avatar is gone from his profile page. Maybe he floated away on an energy barge.

It occurred to me he may be Lyn's little friend

I don't think Lute has the coherency of thought & restraint to be guest

Yer probably right on "coherency" - and 'logically'; he'd more likely be after me. Um, I think I just oxymoron'd.

The stuff with LL was across more than a few threads

LL is leading the pack for cranky responses

Nar, LL is more your 'comically irascible' persona.

_{"Cranky" is another leader altogether.}

I'm Number 1!!!!

show-off. harrumph.

By thine own "harrumph" doest thou thyself betray!

Anonymous poster #2 could be my christian name.

Bahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Have to be a bit careful with this - there's a great finality about hitting the 'Submit' button (no edits!). One could get carried away, give someone a good slagging off, and come back some time later and let the ID slip, with no chance of rubbing it out before it's seen.

F'rinstance we all know who's #1 in the Bath, now, so you'll never be able to get away with being mean to anyone while in 'anon' mode (not that you would, anyway _<crawl>).

Still the original

... and you can edit your posts!

Or can I?

I wanted #3

Butt, doncha have to be..........

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!

this could be confoosing.

Majorly

Anybody see the movie Reservoir Dogs? That's what this reminds me of. Except without the blood and gore and guts and violence and cursing. And I don't want to be Mr Pink. Other than that, it's 'xactly the same.

I volunteer to be mister Pink, but not the Penguin Hunter one

NO NO I'm mister Pink

No, didn't see "Reservoir Dogs".

Did see " Wild Hogs"; was similar?

We were just watching Battlefield Earth, which is almost as good as Wild Hogs

Didn't see the hog one. Anybody get their ears Van gogh-ed in that one?

Can we come out now? It's dark and stuffy in here.

Of interest there are 136 on line now 34 are members

I wonder how the ratio of members to 'unregistered users' will evolve?

heh heh he said member

The response to the OBO's new posting scheme by the pranksters, reminds me of kids ignoring the expensive toy at christmas and playing with the box it came in.

And I don't want to be Mr. Pink; I much prefer Mr. Periwinkle.

Also, ha-HAH, someone said member.

you must be one of those edgebro pinko fags....

I don't even have a garage , you can call home and ask my wife.

approaching seven seven seven

Oh! Can I have ate ate ate ?

I am not worthy...

If I wasn't glued to the seat by the sticky- residue of spilled Mountain Dew and crumbs from Lil' Debbie cakes I would try to get the777 shiney, seeing as I am the A.P. Master #7, wait , what? Yes, I am typing this, ,,, by gawd you're right , I'll go for it ,,,ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

no, I am the anonymous toaster

Where is AH?

Your member name was on unread comments

by the time it loaded you became AP

Probably because I forgot to tick PA and had to 'edit'

Nice

SNAP!

Does AH stand for Anonymous Hoser?

Your 'Merkins funny

One who refuses to do any Latin homework. Hosers commonly construct diabolical plots to overthrow their Latin teachers. Hosers and Latin-lovers are sworn enemies. A small band of renegade hosers have created an Anti-Latin Terrorist Organization (ALTO) against the Language of Latin (LOL). There have been no known or scheduled meetings of either organization.What are you all, a bunch of hosers? Mike and Adam back there haven't done their homework since like the first quarter. And I know you didn't do you project there either Molinsk.

..said right in front of a crowd...do you have a rack ?

FRESH!

you have a rack ?------------------------------Did you mean to type," Are you in Iraq"?

Yes, no, and you ain't getting it. Rather blunt, but I'd sooner a chap knows where he stands.Pack that picnic, the ;lttttle blightter in the boat is real.....
