The sound of the photocopier / printer / fax right next to me at work as I log off & go home :D

You still have a fax facility? Is there a telegraph station as well?

You're too good at your work P4S. Getting all those corporates to avoid paying tax means there's too little left for the public hospital system :P :wink:

It's a printer / fax / scanner / photocopier .......Shoot me now for using the word "facility" but this unpaid overtime is killing me...

I think I prefer the term "crime". It's like how multinationals tend to get "punished" and held "accountable" by the "legal system". Actions, after all, do have "consequences".

You're right, should have read "their fair share"...tax minimization, tax loopholes, but at the end of the day, when the moment is ripe, in due season & at the appropriate juncture if it looks like a ..... :wink:

A corporation can be a person, apparently, but can it really have free will? ;)

On days off like tomorrow & I had a day of on Friday, hearing magpies. The baby birds are getting a bit annoying every now & then & the older ones are literally a metre away when I'm digging in the garden. I love their sounds overall. At times they swoop my dog & he chases them when they're on the side fence. Mostly great sounds.

Heard a bird swoop at me when walking my dog this morning to the vets. Got pretty close & had to take evasive action. I think it was a wattle bird this time.

I don't get swooped by birds, I can walk through the park and they attack others including the dickwads on cycles with all the sticks on their helmet.

If I'm sitting out the front on the weekend, the magpies come up and look at me until I go in and get food for them. Some will come over and take it from my hand.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
