HMRC nailing a slippery little sucker who deserves the full weight of the law dropping on his elderly head!

He's a billionaire, he'll payback what he owes from change down the back of his sofa and not give a shit.

He likes to get the better of people, that's what he thrives on, always finding an angle or loophole, or as my dear old ma used to say, sailing close to the wind!
He'll be more annoyed he's been rumbled than having to pay up!

Nope. I'm out of the loop on this one. Have HMRC decided King Brian owes some back tax?

That's a fair bit of loose change.

Well, if we're talking about Ecclestone I imagine the payment will come out of one of his companies rather than his pocket...but he did seem to think that F1 was his pocket.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:55 pmSix hundred and forty million quid, tis what i heard on the radio.Demannu wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:15 pmYehbut it's £160m x number of years + fine.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 1:05 pm

Bernie Ecclestone (spelling) of Formula 1 fame has been found guilty of not declaring £400 million (or billion) of assets.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:21 pm Nope. I'm out of the loop on this one. Have HMRC decided King Brian owes some back tax?
Huge fine, and back taxes. But he's rich, so no jail time.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Having a plumber next door
A connection in the garden water routes had been playing up so I replaced it.
Kept going pop and finally did it again today. Hottest day for ages . 37c and was getting pissed off. Endlessly turning water off for whole house, messing about with connection only to see it leak again.
Asked neighbour to pop round. He instantly spotted problem. They'd given me a wrong seal. Only 1mm out, but enough to leak. He had a spare so now ok
He's round for a BBQ Monday so will pamper him then.

Christina Aguilera's tits in the latest Just Eat advert.
Does that make me misogynistic, or just a breast enthusiast?

Just been round to see him to help with a problem with his Husky TE300iv8-powered wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:46 pmJust popped up on FarceBookYorick wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 9:23 am One of my best pals on the island has just decided to buy a V4 Panigale in Manchester.
He flies over in a few days.
Then Plymouth to Santander ferry. Then ride to Cadiz.
Just told him I'm at Portimao and he said he'd try to pop in.
And he's booked on same ferry home as me

The Pani was in the garage. With the key in. And he admitted that the garage is never locked. And he's insured TPO.
Nice place to live here

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Found out today that my new brake pads were a fair bit cheaper than expected, as I imported them and the pound is pretty strong against the euro at the moment! God bless brexit!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
FFS!! I've just had to pay import tax/handling charge on a coupe of bras I ordered from the UK - not only did the exchange rate not favour me, I had to pay tax as well
But, I love it over here, so I'll live with that!

Chatting with my brother. We aren't very organised and don't chat as often as we should, but when we do it's awesome. An hour of hands free chat (he's driving, I'm cross stitching!) and putting our worlds to rights
