Hersham Boys, Hersham boys, they call us the cockney cowboys!

I'm still trying to think nice thoughts to calm down after swearing at my tax return all morning. I positively welcome being investigated right now just so I can get a tax man in a room and rant at him to my satisfaction!

Funny story involving tax returns...

A friend of mine who runs a small CD production company came under investigation 2 years ago. He had the tax men come round and everything. Went through every receipt imaginable, positively tore his taxes to pieces and having been investigating for 8 hours they found that over a 3 year period they actually owed him £7.

He offered them a free CD for their troubles whereby he was rather nastily informed that bribing tax officers is a crime!!

Jeez! And they wonder why no one likes tax inspectors.

Personally, I don't have any expenses that are worth claiming. Even a ream of paper lasts me several years. If I want more money, I pitch more ideas - it's as simple as that. I just log the writing jobs that come ie on a spreadsheet so I can invoice them and then sum them at the end of the year. I buy the odd laptop or printer as old ones wear out and that's it. Working out the capital allowances calculations are driving me insane, however!

Frankly, I havent got the wit or time to fiddle with anything other than a deck of cards, let alone the taxman.

i have spent a little too much today...

magic, an xbox 360 game, a cd by a group called The Stairs, and more magic...

oh dear...still, i have the pub coming at me in around ten minutes...

lovely spanish beer, some whiskey and some bbq ribs for me dinner...

oooh and a promise of a rather fine cuban cigar later if i go to some sordid little boozer or other in soho...it seems rude not to...

then when i get up tomorrow, all my lovely magic will be there...

Lucky you. I'm stayng in tonight to watch the fabulous new series of QI. Tomorrow afternoon it's the pub as usual, then an 18th birthday bash tomorrow evening.

i made a massive magical mistake last night. slapped my new Ghost deck in my back pocket and then went and raved for about 2 hours. so when i go to get the cards out they're somewhat damp. and rather unusable! gah! well, you live, you learn!

tut tut tut

daytime doves has had a snooze for over a month! time to wake it up lol!

How is everyone? anyone going trick or treating tonight

Nope, not any more

I am going out looking for eggers though I dislike them.

Yeah, I'm doing the evening shift in a shop, so I'm sure i'll get no end of hassle.

..cant you buy yourself some of those trick hot sweets, safe in the knowledge that any abusive wippersnappers will get a flaming hot mouth later that evening...

i have some of that ridiculously hot sauce from chilifarm that is hotter on the scoville scale than police pepper spray...i might coat some popcorn in it...

well I'm bored today. I'm thinking of making up a little competition or something. perhaps a "name that colour change" or something, i'll video a load then people can guess the names, and the winner...gets...a..... rake

i wanna win that, i need a new rake

i think i might go video it actually. could be good for a laugh. now for a prize.... hm... a signed copy of magicseen perhaps (the one I'm in that is, of course) or perhaps my back catalogue of stuff i've come up with, which isn't a lot to be fair, but some of it is quite nice; you'd learn to make your own production deck at least
