Fixed!

A minor technical glitch there which we have now fixed, please enjoy the added media ('Father Ted' is a personal favourite of mine).

By the way, you can click on the picture to enlarge it if you need to, if, for example like me, you struggle to read certain fonts on screen!

OGA do you mean

them or you..?.

actually had an inspector once who resembled this guy...thought he was a bit of a bohemian/wild man of rock type....you know the sort.....ran to several meetings and as the enquiry progressed his behaviour became more and more erractic and his appearance ever more disshevelled until he ended up looking uncannily like the dear father (eye apart)...after 2 years of putting up with this the client and his wife happened to bump into him in the local Iceland and client had to restrain her from attacking him with a packet of frozen peas....true story !!

To misquote Father Jack on waking up...

... What? Tax Inspectors? Don't tell me I'm still on this feckin' island! 

PS - Some may say there is un uncanny resemblance between he and I, in both appearance and personality - especially after an hour waiting for the HMRC "cant help wont help line"!.

PPS - assuming you haven't gone through 10 minutes of menu's and messages for some dozy bint to tell you they are busy and to ring back later, usually when it is some momumental [***] up of their making you are trying to sort out :)
 

I think the "Peter Principal" needs revision - once a person has reach their ultimate level of incompetence they are given a job with HMRC.

...Although HMRC are way ahead of BT on the complete b******s index at present but don't start me on that now!

May be we should start a "wall" like the Top Gear "Cool Wall", but for Government Departments and Utility Companies, with Accepable instead of sub-zero and why? instead of uncool. Just to be fair, Companies House are generally very good, very helpful and deal with things efficiently.

I don't Mother F***ing believe it, A**hole

Have you not read my profile?

But, no, stress will be 11.50pm on Sunday when I finally look at the list of outstanding returns!

Interestingly or not Vince was the MP for where I used to live (I wont say my MP as I never voted for him, but we wont go there either) until I moved to David Wilshires constituency, and now he's standing down as he was one of the worst offenders under "expensegate"
