That seems fair.  whistle:

If it was a company director and the revenue were after your old documentation regarding where the munny might have gone, I am sure they might not accept shredding of your owld paperwork as acceptable and let you off.  noooo:

 cussing:

Quite so...

I've got  a garage full of paperwerk for my last business venture which I have to keep for years... Just in case the taxman wants to have a look like...

They really are the scum of the earth aren't they...?  noooo:

Just tell them your quadcopter had an accident like.  Thumbs:

It did today....  sad24:
PICNIQ?

PANIC more like!  lol:

It took off okay then started drifting backwards towards the house...

...I twiddled all the controls as best I could and it did a loop and crashed...  redface:

There is a great line in Bob Mason's book, Chickenhawk...

He is learning to fly helicopters for the US Cavalry (eventually to serve in Vietnam)...

After his first lesson his instructor says he is a natural. "What do you mean?", says Bob, "I was all over the field".

"Yes", says the instructor, "We just have to practice in smaller and smaller fields!".

Methinks I need a bigger field for the next flight....  redface:

BTW - one of the best books I've ever read....

I remember reading that in school, must get another copy of it.  Thumbs:

Just how much more is this waste of space going to be allowed to scam out of the taxpayer before someone tells her to bugger off.  Banghead

Ok I can understand the logic of letting US squadrons use the new carrier while we wait for these new all singing all dancing fighters to finally be ready but I do have one question. Are these marine squadrons flying the harriers that we gave away for a pittance perchance?  rubschin:
