This table shows marginal tax rates not rates chargeable to individuals. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_rate

This is what we can possess in the UK... That saves a lot of problems.

According to the information I can find on the web about Danish income tax rates, one has to earn 2m DKK to attract a rate, including social security, of 51.5%. This salary level is the equivalent of US$353,000! Denmark appears to operate an earnings-related graduated tax scheme like other countries. Is this not the case? Considering the fact Denmark has a high cost of living, I find what you propose incredible and wonder if you've read your tax demand properly?

That might have been because the IRA were "nothing better than terrorists" being...terrorists! How about the deliberate targeting of police officers and military personnel in a Western democracy? (I am "full English" Catholic by the way! Catholicism has sweet F.A. to do with murdering soldiers and cops.) There are still a small number of dinosaurs over there who think they can achieve something via the bomb and the bullet. I just hope the Americans who funded PIRA have wised up.

There is no such thing as a "British" accent! Using that term is rather like referring to a "North American" accent. I think you could guess how Canadians and Mexicans might react. The "British" live in the four countries of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So, a "British" accent could be from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland! Within each of the constituent countries, there are regional accents. This linguistic diversity can be traced back to ancient times, for example the Liverpudlian accent is said to have been heavily influenced by the Norwegian settlers who arrived there in the days of the Vikings. More recently, street talk in London, e.g. Jafaican, has its roots in the Caribbean. Dick Van Dyke's appalling imitation of Cockney should not be used as a model for students. The regional accents used by English people in the north and north-east feature pronunciations more faithful to the Germanic roots of our tongue - water is "watter" not "worter", mother is "mooh-ther" not "mather". Down south (darn sarf), we speak differently (I've heard it described as "Cockney with a bit of yokel included" by a Yorkshireman with whom I used to work). We can thank William Caxton for our standardised spelling. He drew heavily from English usage in the Midlands (the old Angle territories) to establish our norms. "Received Pronunciation" (RP) as practised by our Prime Minister is a "manufactured" accent that was favoured by the BBC so everyone could understand what was being broadcast. These days, it is not as popular. The north-eastern accent (similar to but stronger than SOB's) has been determined to be that most trusted by people (so call centres abound in the north-east!). RP, however, is associated with dishonesty and a lack of trustworthiness ( I wonder why???!!!). Now watch the instructional video...

As it's a banned topic on this forum, I do not propose to evangelise. Those that know me know well my personal faith or can deduce it from the posts I make when people are in distress of some kind. However, to the scientists who claim that science has all the answers, can explain everything, prove or disprove everything and assert that anything that can't be observed doesn't exist, I would like to quote one of XI's own philosophers (my apologies I cannot attribute this to the intellectual we are lucky enough to have amongst our number as I have forgotten who it was...): "We don't know shit!". From the movie Contact : Ellie challenges Palmer to prove the existence of God] Palmer Joss: Did you love your father? Ellie Arroway: What? Palmer Joss: Your dad. Did you love him? Ellie Arroway: Yes, very much. Palmer Joss: Prove it.

As with many of these online surveys, the result is utterly meaningless. I used to admire Washington for his moral values - there's a rare quality in a politician who becomes famous for saying, "I cannot tell a lie" - but then I learned that the story about the cherry tree was a fabrication, made up by Parson Weems.

Happy Birthday, Marauder! I have a present for you...

"Wildlife officials in Maryland have put a bounty on the snakehead, the so-called "fish from hell" that can migrate on land and devastates the eco-systems of lakes, ponds and streams. The state will give out $200 gift cards for Bass Pro Shops as well as other prizes for catching and killing the fish, which is native to Africa and Asia but is believed to have made its way to America through Asian seafood merchants" , reports Fox News.

Ricko, the sun does come out when we are on the boat but only if I leave our portable barbecue at home! I bought a Cobb South African model ideal for the purpose, loads of accessories such as a wok and frying pan and griddle for it but every time I have put it on the boat it has p*ssed down all week long! http://youtu.be/Cio6obL7hWg

That won't be for a long time now, mate. We moved the boat up to Cheshire, last autumn, and, especially with the drought now affecting all the Midlands, do not envisage cruising south this year.

Good to see you in the forum as well as in the game on a regular basis. Brew your own beer? Hmmm, maybe an international fact-finding mission should be mounted... Enjoy your time in our company and look forward to getting to know you!

Your prayers are needed for Robin Gibb, of Bee Gees fame, who is seriously ill in hospital. Let us pray he keeps stayin' alive! See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17717784

Maybe, if the venue is the same every time, someone could compose an FAQ, post it and get it pinned? I use to play, every month, with the former parish priest here (yes, he is an American) but, since he returned to the States, I haven't picked up the cards. I used to play in PartyPoker (not real cash) and quite enjoyed that. I guess, with the aggressive attitude that the authorities have to gambling online in the USA, that no real money changes hands in these games? I'd be interested to read some details if someone could be so kind.

It's just a regular YouTube video. The "plugin", I guess, relates to your browser? Which are you using?

I love Kokoda... Nice quantity of foliage. Can't beat plenty of bush! Thanks, Beers. Will download your archive whilst the football's on later.

A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his priest, 'I almost had an affair with another woman.' The priest said, 'What do you mean, almost?' The Irishman said, 'Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped.' The priest said, 'Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box.' The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box. He paused for a moment and then started to leave. The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, 'I saw that. You didn't put any money in the poor box!' The Irishman replied, 'Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lemon Squeeze There once was a religious young woman who went to Confession. Upon entering the confessional, she said, 'Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.' The priest said, 'Confess your sins and be forgiven.' The young woman said, 'Last night my boyfriend made mad passionate love to me seven times.' The priest thought long and hard and then said, 'Squeeze seven lemons into a glass and then drink the juice.' The young woman asked, 'Will this cleanse me of my sins?' The priest said, 'No, but it will wipe that smile off of your face.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looks of Disappointment A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, 'You're beautiful.' Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that before, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said, 'You're cute..' The wife was disappointed because instead of 'beautiful,' it was now 'cute.' She asked, 'What happened to beautiful?' The man replied, 'The drugs are wearing off.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catholic Dog Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company.. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, 'Father, my dog is dead... Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?' Father Patrick replied, 'I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church.... But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature.' Muldoon said, 'I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?' Father Patrick exclaimed, 'Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donation Father O'Malley answers the phone. 'Hello, is this Father O'Malley?' 'It is!' 'This is the IRS. Can you help us?' 'I can!' 'Do you know a Ted Houlihan?' 'I do!' 'Is he a member of your congregation?' 'He is!' 'Did he donate $10,000 to the church?' 'He will.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Confession An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues: Man: 'I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitch-hiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times.' Priest: 'Are you sorry for your sins?' Man: 'What sins?' Priest: 'What kind of a Catholic are you?' Man: 'I'm Jewish.' Priest: 'Why are you telling me all this?' Man: 'I'm 92 years old ..... I'm telling everybody!' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brothel Trip An elderly man goes into a brothel and tells the madam he would like a young girl for the night. Surprised, she looks at the ancient man and asks how old he is. 'I'm 90 years old,' he says. '90!' replies the woman. 'Don't you realize you've had it?' 'Oh, sorry,' says the old man. 'How much do I owe you?' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Senility An elderly man went to his doctor and said, 'Doc, I think I'm getting senile.. Several times lately, I have forgotten to zip up.' 'That's not senility,' replied the doctor. 'Senility is when you forget to zip down.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pest Control A woman was having a passionate affair with an Irish inspector from a pest-control company.. One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly. 'Quick,' said the woman to the lover, 'into the closet!' and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked. The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet.. 'Who are you?' he asked him.. 'I'm an inspector from Bugs-B-Gone,' said the exterminator. 'What are you doing in there?' the husband asked.. 'I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths,' the man replied. 'And where are your clothes?' asked the husband. The man looked down at himself and said, 'Those little bastards!'..

First you need to go to Control Panel, then reboot the PC... No! Don't! Just a little joke... 1) Click on the link Beers has provided. 2) Click on the .RAR archive within that folder and you'll be prompted to save or possibly open with Winzip etc. 3) Select SAVE 4) Archive containing map files will download (eventually...it is 2.2GB in size so you might wish to do this outside chargeable hours if your ISP gives you free time after midnight). 5) Using Winzip or another similar utility, extract the maps from the archive to C:\Users\[Jud-or-whatever-your-username-on-thePC-is]\AppData\Local\Activision\CodWaw\usermaps\ That should be you sorted.

As I said when input was sought, Metro and Grand Bazaar are the maps I least like playing. So, I'll stick to the USA-based servers.
