Default A nice surprise from HM Revenue&Customs

Just received a letter from HM Revenue and Customs (always a bad thing), but no, it was to say I have overpaid tax and got a refund -

Now for the important matter, what to spend it on

I know the feeling. 2 years ago I received €360 of overpaid tax back from the DURS (Slovenian IRS or HM:R&C). Took 3 days of and blew €500 on the seaside

Depends how much!

£100 - nice meal
£200 - weekend away
£300 - new gfx card
£500 - weekend abroad
£1000 - new gaming rig
£2000 - host own UK Subsim party

All the above obviously include a nice donation to Onkel Neal.

Option 3 is looking tempting, so am off to put the cheque in the bank.

Well done that man

I've never been taxed on my pension for fifteen months so I can imagine what kind of letter I'm eventually going to receive

You'll have to either sell the wife off, or pawn your diecast collection.

Apparantly you're not allowed to porn the wife!

Current choice is either; New mobile (maybe a HTC), or treat my parents to a meal/new garden table&chair set they've been looking at.

I wouldn't pay out for a new mobile, I get it included in my monthly payment package and it gets better every year (or two years now I'm on the nice expensive phones). HTC's are good though. Garden furniture for folks sounds like the nice thing to do whilst we're still enjoying this lovely weather.

How bloody cheeky and downright disgusting is that!!

I've a good mind to report this thread and your unacceptable attitude










The diecast collection is far too valuable to consider parting with
