Hits the nail on the head.
This example shows the importance of accuracy in your tax return. The HMRC has returned the Tax Return to a man in Evesham after he apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly.
In response to the question Do you have anyone dependant on you?
The man wrote:- "2.1 million illegal immigrants and counting, 1.1 million crackheads, 4.4 million unemployable Jeremy Kyle scroungers, 90,000 criminals in over 85 prisons plus 649 self serving lying ponces in our Parliament and the entire European Commission".
The HMRC stated that the response he gave was unacceptable.
The man's response back to HMRC was "Who did I miss out?".

When A Male Bird Can't Stand It Anymore

I’m a champion. Apparently.
I received this heap of garbage in my E Mail this morning.
Dear Drink Wise online subscriber, (Ed: Never in a million years would I think of such a thing.)
2013 is set to be an important year setting the direction of alcohol policy nationally for many years to come.
As one of Drink Wise’s online subscribers and Alcohol Champions* we would like to hear some of your views through this very short online survey (no more than 2 minutes long!).
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YSR3Y7H
We look forward to your response.

Well I gave them my response to their short questionnaire. They really shouldn’t include a box marked “Other”. Here’s the first page of the survey.
Which aspects of alcohol policy interest you? (you can tick as many answers that apply)
Tackling underage alcohol sales
Preventing underage binge drinking
Stopping alcohol advertising before 9pm on TV
Stopping alcohol advertising in cinemas to under-18's
Curbing the low prices of alcohol in supermarkets
Support the introduction of a minimum unit price for alcohol
Support setting a 50 pence minimum unit price level for alcohol
Reducing the opening hours of licensed premises
Reducing the number of licensed premises
Other (please specify) Go on. Go mad (I did). You know it makes sense to prod these Nu puritans.
I’m off two top my glass up with at least half of my so called ration of units.
* First I’ve heard of it.
I don’t think that you should do that.
A Darwin award in the making?

So the Anti smokers thought they would be able to populate pubs full of non smokers?
Didn’t see that coming did they?
Mind you where I live we all buy our drink from the Supermarket (Cos it’s cheaper) and drink in each other’s homes in comfort, enjoying each other’s company.

The momentous event for my family this year.
The man in question in the Daily mail article below is my Son in law.
'He's the best present I've ever received': Man given 5% chance of becoming a father after battling testicular cancer twice celebrates his son's first Christmas
- Huw Allanson, 26, lost a testicle and had several gruelling rounds of chemo after being diagnosed
- Told he and fiance Lizi had just 5% chance of conceiving naturally due to poor quality sperm
- But just a week before starting IVF, realised they had conceived naturally
- Baby Ryan was born in April this year
The full article is HERE if you want to have a read. It was momentous news to all of us in TFE household.
