Nothing wrong with Americans. In some ways they're preferable to British people, at least they know how to have fun and aren't all reserved and understated.
I'm speaking from experience. Compare the average NFL game to the average Premiership game. They're not even in the same league (pun unintended)
A lot of Americans are way over the top and in your face. Their sense of humour is also ****. Just because you love Glee and want to move to the good old gun totting country called the USA.
I don't know if you've been to the USA but from my experiences that isn't true. Most American's I met are really nice and welcoming.
Tom, I was taking the piss out of PL stereotyping. I have been about 6/7 times as my uncle lives there. People in Texas badly fit the stereotype. But people in Florida don't, people in NY are loud and rude tho.
It's true. Americans aren't reserved. For example, you'd never catch them asking for love-life advice on an internet forum...
I have relatives near Chicago and they are mostly lovely people . (I have been over a Dozen times in my life . Have to say though that they are also the most insular people I have ever met in my life . Loads of others though just come across as completely false . The Way the shops staff etc fawn all over you makes me sick !!!
Nope. I could easily, because of the structure of my business, set up a large chunk of it in Ireland and pay 12.5% corporation tax rather than 20% in Britain. However, we use a thousand things paid for by the British government (e.g. roads) to service customers so we pay our taxes. Don't tar everyone with the self-interest brush. Vin
That's not quite what I said. I was answering a post where someone used the phrase "loophole your way out of paying some taxes". So, to clarify, I have never, knowingly or not, done anything with the intention of avoiding taxes. I've claimed all my allowances; I've set off against tax what I'm allowed to set off but, no, I've not used any loopholes at all. I run my own business and we've agreed with our accountant that we want to minimise our taxes but not avoid them. So, I would say that claiming every single thing we use to run the business down to electricity used in our office is minimising. Setting up anything with the aim being mainly to cut our tax bill, I'd consider to be avoidance. Hope that clarifies. Vin
Thank **** for that. There was a fear that ITV would wade in, especially having ditched Chiles and few significant others, and recruited Mark Pougatch as main presenter. Phew..!
****s sake I sit on my chair with a cup of coffee in my hand. What happens next? The chair breaks and I end up on my arse with hot coffee all over me. ****ing ****ty **** of a chair.
