    OK, I understand it's your bedtime now ...... I'll concede that a 14 year old has 'Owned' me and you are a real scary 'Gangsta'.

    I give you permission to print this off so you can show off in the playground on Monday - you will look so cool and so clever.

    Enjoy school Monday - I'll leave you now ... don't come back with any further comment as that will simply show to your friends that I am the 'gangsta', or whatever you call yourself, and that I actually own you ....... so, off to bed now for you - no posting anymore as it's no fun (your words) :D

    I have to do lots of things that are not fun, so I'll do exactly as I please thank you, but thanks for the concern. If you are happy to take a response post as a victory despite you being made to look silly for all to see, who am I to spoil your day?

    I won't print off for the play-ground, but I will win the office championship for forum baiting (wasn't too hard though). And before you say it, I own the office, and judging from the amount of tax you claim to pay and your daily rate, I will be earning considerably more than you from doing so.

    Don't elderly people generally end up going to be earlier ?

    Maybe you need an early night, judging by your earlier efforts at maths.

    Forum Baiting is against the rules of posting ... expect a ban.

    And now you're willy waving ..... you don't have a clue, do you?

    I think I preferred the idea floated in moneyweek this week - abolishing corporation tax. Maybe that would be overkill - a reduction to 5 or 10% would have a massive effect on employment here.

    Ireland's CT rate is 12.5% and their unemployment rate is 15%, so I'm not sure that slashing the CT rate would have a massive impact, but it would obviously help somewhat.

    Is the truthful, consistent, and factual pointing out of others errors ie yours, against forum rules? I think I have been polite and understanding to you whilst you descend deeper into insults.

    WHAT?

    It's a £30,000 car ........ the TAX isn't a car!

    Good grief, I'm surrounded by simpletons .... no wonder I can earn a packet when the alternatives are so daft ... long may it continue!

    Owned?

    Only halfwits and gangsters use that pathetic language ...... are you a gangster?

    Well, if you aren't a gansta then you must, by definition, be a half-wit ....... you said it, not me.

    I'm assuming that you know how stupid you look when you say you 'own' someone you don't even know?

    I suppose you are one of the reasons I am so highly regarded - fair enough, it was by your own hand.

    One might think that suggesting someone is a half-wit for knowing how to spell particular words is somewhat more serious. I'll not lose sleep.

    As for willy-waving, I'm merely pointing out to you that despite you thinking you are more intelligent than the rest of the forum members, and you thinking that this is reflected in your daily rate of £1500 (and I even think you alluded as such in an earlier post when trying to deflect attention from your VAT sums), I earn more than that when I choose to, and also appear to be able to keep up with your intellect.

    You just can't keep away can you?

    I whistle - you post ....... can you not see that, in truth, I well and truly own you?

    Consider yourself owned ..... I'm no half-wit .. so, in your playground speak I must be a gangsta!! Wow, me, a gangsta!!

    I don't reply for my benefit. I sense the rest of the community likes seeing you dig yourself deeper into a hole. You certainly seem to have brought happiness.

    ps work out which skill-set originally used the phrase 'owned', what they might have done for a living, and extrapolate as to why they may command a higher daily rate than you.

    I do have to leave you now, as I'm going on holiday, but I'll be sure to check in when I get back to make sure you haven't been silly again.

    Highly regarded? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You're the joke of the forum that everyone laughs at. If you didn't spend so much time trolling this message board you might actually go out and get a job instead of being the unemployed waste of space you are.
