    In my position I would have come straight to the point as soon as it became clear he wasn't interested by asking "Be honest, I'm boring you aren't I?".

    In the United Kingdom there are two main aspects of taxation, there is taxation levied by the government (income tax, value added tax, national insurance) and then there is a tax levied by the various local councils in the United Kingdom called "council tax" which is what I meant by state taxes to make the concept easier to understand.
    Each council is allowed to charge a certain amount based on the value of a home, all homes are banded from the lowest (around $50,600) to the highest (around $404,900) which pay a sliding slide from 6/9ths of the average cost to 24/9ths. The reason I do not pay council tax is because as all my monthy income is welfare it is not classed as income, therefore I fall below the threahold of payment.

    The BBC World Business Report is reporting that as a result of this accident, there are 40 ships stuck in the harbour of Baltimore, and that as a result the ECB (European Central Bank) has issued a statement that they believe their aim for inflation to reach 2% by the end of the second quarter of 2024 will be missed as a result of this accident.

    Welshman got a reaction from + Charlie in Muscleguy Steve (1935 - 2015) and Dennis Mason (died 2023)   
    MuscleGuy Steve
    Muscleguy Steve was the informal stage name that Paul Stone, from Seattle, Washington state, used whenever we chatted on YAHOO! Instant Messenger. I first met him in 1998 when I first joined the internet looking for people with an interest in health and fitness, and believe that I encouraged him to enter his first contest in 2002 and from that time onwards we would always discuss muscle, strength and then eventually physical and mental stimulation with Paul's favourite fantasies being strapped into a mind transfer machine, naked, and enduring the agony of having his mind transferred into a Herculean muscleman and then ramming his old body until the muscleman in his old body begged for mercy
    Dennis Mason
    Dennis Mason was a personal trainer from Palm Springs, California who I first met online at the millennium and between 2003 and 2008 contributed to his radio show reporting on everything from health and fitness issues in the United Kingdom to, when the Labour MP for Barrow and Furness announced that he was standing down from Parliament following a diagnosis of depression, mental health issues in the United Kingdom.
    In both these cases I invited them both to come and stay with me in the United Kingdom during which time I would take them to local gyms, and then afterwards ask to take photos of them flexing and posing (either in training shorts, posing suits or naked) but sadly circumstances prevented that from happening and so I never got to meet either of them in person before they died.
