RE: You owe me 12 seconds. I'm in the middle of inventing a really short-term time machine which will give you twenty seconds maximum. Is that any good?
It's the other way round I need to avoid becoming French resident or they'll tax the bejeezus out of me. And if Mrs Burgundy Red or I shuffled off this mortal coil then they'd have their share of everything we own too, regardless that the other was still alive. They've got to do something to prop up the ailing and expensive benefits system they have over here and the way they see it if that something is squeezing expats until the pips squeek then all the better. I don't mind paying my way (unlike the French youth) but inheritance tax between husband and wife? They're having a larf.
RE: It's the other way round maybe if you got your hair cut they wouldn't apply the bejeezus tax. Just a suggestion. Their inheritance tax system sounds a bit wrong.
RE: You owe me 12 seconds. Yes. You also owe me 5 seconds for a **** joke last week. I'll take the other 2 as a down payment on your next one.
RE: You owe me 12 seconds. Blimey, if I owe you a couple of seconds for every **** joke you point out, I might have to upgrade the time machine from solar to petrol.
