Oh I've replied to that other thread about the monarch. At least I admit I'm wrong unlike you guys who sit there insulting me.
I know what you mean with the non stop off topic nonsense and it's getting right on my boobies too!
It's usually that Pat fella who starts it all off with his constant posting of cat pictures in threads that have nothing to do with cats at all, he even posted cat stuff in a thread all about ferrets one time
I've been trying to get him a ban for a long time now but no one seems to listen to me, the boy needs a short sharp shock, that should sort him out.
As for the name calling, Fen's probably right when he said they are jealous. I bet they wished they had come up with the idea of making council tax and road tax into one straight forward simple payment that way the people who don't drive at all can pay for the up keep of our roads, bloody free loading pedestrians have been getting away with this for far too long now (bit like Pat and his cat pictures).
It got me thinking and thanks to you I came up with this genius idea, instead of having so much tax on a packet of smokes, take half of it off and then slap it on gym membership!
Like pedestrians, these people need to be taxed more too. With gyms popping up alover the place these days and so many people using them this idea is sure to make the government some good money while smokers get a little relief from tax for a change.
We do need to be clamping down on pedestrians and people who go to the gym, they need to be made an example of! And don't get me started on cyclists, I'll save that one for a new thread (don't want to go too far off topic like that Pat fella).
Level 5
There was nothing wrong with my point anyway, what's wrong with merging similar taxes together. Road surfacing, fencing and bin collection fall into the category of council maintenance. So I would merge road tax into council tax for sure to make it simple and get rid of the burden of owning a car.

But then aren't you forcing the tax onto those that do not own a car?
A bit unfair on all those who do not drive.
So people who don't own a car get taxed for one? Seems fair.

And owning a car isn't a burden
Level 3
I'm sorry, I have to quote my own post to try and reiterate my point at what a stupid idea merging road tax with other taxes (those who don't have cars) must pay

How would that work? I'm confused at what you are getting at with that.
what a good idea, people without cars and people like me who get a super efficient 1.4 diesel can subsidise the road tax for people who get range rovers.
In case it wasn't clear, this is sarcasm.
In theory, combining some taxes might be reasonable, forcing people to pay what is effectively optional taxes is completely retarded.
Why not take the tax off *****s and add it to income tax while we are at it.
edit: oh for god's sake I use a colloquialism for cigarettes and the swear filter doesn't like it.
