    He's funny, he's kind, he's attractive.

    You're attracted to him because he's attractive? That's good.

    I hope somewhere in his list of positive attributes is the word "single". ;)

    So go knock him dead - just not literally...

    Rang the tax office Beanie.
    Had a nice chat with the man as he talked me through the HMRC form and we hit a dead end. Then he directed to the gov.UK site, talked me round it and realised that also reached a dead end.
    Then he took my address and decided he would send me out the forms.
    He also reported these faults.
    Result.

    Regression testing. It's like dark sorcery to those people.

    He also said something along those lines but without the big words.....like "what is the point in asking the public to do more online if the sites don't work".

    Estate Agent also rang to say...............................the owners had found a house.



    Naaaaaaaah....of course she didn't. She rang to say 'I don't know what to say'. We discussed what she thought was happening and what she could say. When I came off the phone I emailed all the local agents, including them, with my requirements. Next week or start of September I shall mailshot all similar houses in the street which I think will be about 30.

    He can't have worked for the Revenue for long, if he's still expecting there to be some point to the "communications"...

    They have. It's the one they're living in.

    People could still be holiday next week. I don't want to be in the pile of bills when they return.

    People could be on holiday any week of the year.

    What's the probability the entire street is on holiday that week? Low, unless they're all related like hill-billies... :eek:
