In being relieved that I dont have to worry about where my tax from my salary goes - AS I DONT EARN ENOUGH TO BE TAXED !

Just the other end of the spectrum

Oh I am clever. I worked out how many seconds there are in a week on some kitchen roll at the weekend. Took me only slightly longer than it took DH to get his phone out of his pocket and use the calculator. But in my defence, had I gone and found the house phone to ring my mobile to locate it, then taken the key lock off, found the calculator functin and done it, that would have taken longer.

My 3yo thought I was very naughty writing on kitchen roll. And my 7yo didn't believe me.

Sorry for tangent. I am busy creating tax revenue for the govt to fund purchase of whisky.

I only work Monday to Wednesday, so on those days I can answer the questions on all the rounds of Weakest Link and some in University Challenge, but Thursday to Sunday I can't get past the completely thicko "What is a crunchy fruit with a name rhyming with bapple?" first round.

IMO you're all just showing off and it's so unfair to the high earners, inheritors and trustafarians on MN.

And PS. Is it just me that finds the use of "IMO" to be incredibly pompous?

isnt it emo

Quote from Capp:

'it also assumes that every profession pays well if you succeed in it

I work for a small registered charity where even the CEO isn't earning a salary anywhere near the higher tax bracket

does that mean they have not succeeded? or does it mean that some sectors, however intelligent and qualified and hardworking, aren't as commercially focused as others?

could the whole organisation have - gosh - other priorities? '

Alle-fuckin-lujah, Capp. Good point, well made.
