No doubt he believes that the People's Democratic Republic of Korea is a democracy run by the people too.

I have a TIN from my years of working here, but since retirement 6 years ago I have not filed a tax return. I was audited 2 years after I retired, because I went from paying a large amount of income tax annually, to paying none at all, yet remained in Thailand. Everything was proper and correct. I had no assessable income - no transfers were made in the same year the money was "earned" (from equity funds), therefore wasn't required to file a return. Whether that remains the case under the new amendment remains to be seen. As this year is still under the old rules - funds earned prior to January 2024 are tax exempt, it won't be until early 2026 that I will have to file a return, if necessary. I'll wait and see what happens between now and then.

Johnathon Pie, doing what he does best and telling it like it is:

We stayed at this hotel recently. It was just your usual hotel, nothing fancy, as far as I could see. We had a nice enough room on the 14th floor, no complaints there. But, as it happened I had occasion to phone the Management. I said to the chap at the front desk " My wife and I are having an argument, and she is threatening to jump out of the window!" "I'm sorry sir, he replied, we class that complaint as a domestic issue, nothing to do with the Management." "That may be your policy, I retorted, but I think you've failed to grasp the severity of the situation. You need to send someone up because I can't get the window open!"

Did you hear about the Italian chef that died? He pasta way. He is now just a pizza history.

I phoned Amazon Customer Services to complain about the obscene insult I get every time I log into their website. They explained that I was merely misreading the words 'Your Account'

Mixed metaphors really annoy me. It’s not rocket surgery, is it?
