Dumb Questions Amnesty

Just pay what you owe.

Or do a Twiggy Forrest

Use every which way of dodging tax through dubious inter-company transfers, and then make a big fella of yourself by donating big amounts to charity.

You need an accountant. What you said doesn’t make much sense.

You need an accountant. What you said doesn’t make much sense.

And a calendar.

[bomber_girl]

You mean become the deputy commissioner of the ATO and allow your children to buy 18 aircraft?

[Koala]

the Carla Koala Retirement Fund is a worthy investment possibility…

[Diggers]

Don’t get me started on that bloke.

Your friend isn’t a Nigerian Princess, by any chance…?

[Reboot]

So umm I’ve got this friend right, and his business has been very profitable this financial year. He’s already been able to pay cash for a new vehicle, so jealous. However there is still a fair bit excess money in his account that he needs to get out before June 31 as to not be taxed so hard on his yearly profits.

I think he’s set his business up as a company which means he can’t just pay himself “personal drawings”.

P.S. Don’t bother tracking me ATO, it’s for my FRIEND. I ain’t no rat!

Your ‘friend’ could shave down his finances a bit by also buying me a disco sport.

If you order a ‘rack if lamb’ at a restaurant

How many lamb chops or cutlets would you expect to make up said rack?

If your meal arrived as 3 BBQ’d cutlets that had been cooked individually, not a rack that was cooked and then cut, would you think the chef was extracting the urine?

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

I would send it back, or not pay, … if they had advertised it as a “Rack”

That’s taking more than the pizz. …

[Deckham]

Heh - not long ago I was touring FNQ, and had a pub meal - ‘lamb cutlets’…which turn out to be freakin DEEP FRIED shoe leather! Deep fried??? And a side of tinned peas & carrots. Fark me! And powdered mash. Unfarkenbelievable.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

Unfarkenbelievable

That good eh?

[Diggers]

I’ve had a life long aversion to powdered mash. It took me spewing up over the dinner table for the ol’ lady to finally concede that I genuinely hated Deb instant potato caca.

[Vandrs]

He um, already did that.

What about “stuffed chicken with vegetables”?

In a French restaurant, it turned out as 3 chicken nuggets with something smeared on one side (that was the stuffing). The “vegetables” was one shred of carrot.

Incroyable!

[Deckham]

When people say (and very very often) ‘one-paced’…do they always mean ‘slow’?
If yes, why don’t they just say ‘slow’?
Is it just people picking crappy phrases up from the media? Is there more to it?
What am I missing?

[mdso]

One paced can mean slow but it can also mean fast and the person can’t change pace. So it depends on who it is that’s being talked about.

[mdso]

I’ll be stuffed.

[mdso]

Some people go weak at the knees as a result of shock. So don’t be a shock jock.

[Deckham]

One paced can mean slow but it can also mean fast and the person can’t change pace. So it depends on who it is that’s being talked about.

Well, that’s what I used to think, but I’ve never ever heard someone fast being called ‘one-paced’ though.
I can’t imagine anyone fast not being able to run slower.
