I'm in!

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

There are no US flags on my truck :exclamation: and there would be no Canadian one either, if they don’t like the 5 Union Jacks on my Volvo they can lump it :exclamation: When I lived back there a lot of my friends and neighbours were US servicemen and flew the Stars and Stripes, I would never insult them by commenting on the flag of their nation, and I don’t expect any comments here, I love living here, but I love my home land more :exclamation:

I could add that in a pro- us coment… The tax system here is much fairer than anywhere else I know of. Last year my total earnings were well over $45,000, but with per diem (tax free) payments, health insurance relief etc my taxable earnings show only $26,000. Kate is still studying and doesn’t work, I only paid $487 in income tax last year, Kate filed our joint taxes last week and we will get a rebate of $3,900 :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I have never had less than $2,000 rebate each year. Why don’t they have a system like this where the rich pay and the workers get it back in the UK :question:

Est-il permis de dire la « merde » ?

Il est permis a dis “■■■■”, il est permis a dis “merde”.

Spell it <<m*rde>>

Apart from the " I love living here " I could’nt agree more. I used to like living here at first, but it has grown ‘old’, and now I only live here because I have three American born kids who still need me.

As for the Tax system Pat, I will have to differ with you on that one mate, while there is a certain benefit with US taxes over UK ones when It comes to PAYE, when you really get into the nitty gritty and figure up every single tax you pay here, you will find you are not quite as well off as it may seem even more so when you compare healthcare costs.

For the record I have 8 Union Jacks, 5 St Georges Cross’s, 3 England Shields, 4 Chelsea FC, 3 BRTA ,2 Volvo Truck Nation stickers ( and a partridge in a pear tree :laughing: ) on my Volvo :wink:

I have found you the alternative to Oh Canada.

I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I… I wanted to be…

A LUMBERJACK!

We’d sing! Sing! Sing!

Oh, I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays ‘e goes shoppin’
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women’s clothing
And hangs around… In bars■■?

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a … a Bra■■?
(spoken, raggedly) What’s this? Wants to be a girlie? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

CHORUS

All: He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okaaaaaaayyy… (BONG)

Sound Cue: The Liberty Bell March, by John Phillip Sousa.

============================================================================

Dear Sir,

I wish to complain on the stronglyest possible terms about the previous
entry in this file about the lumberjack who wears womens’ clothes. Some of
my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a FEW of them are transvestites.

Yours faithfully,

Cliff, I have tried sending you a PM but you can’t have got it :exclamation: James (of Kinderhook) has bought a new house only 20 miles from you and wants your tel # :question:
I said I would talk to you before passingit on :exclamation:

He’s already rang me, talked to him, he wants to come and lease on with our outfit.

Quinny:

“Mushie Peas”?

Ken.
