    Yours etc
    Some people are like slinkies - good for nothing but putting a smile on your face when you push them down stairs.

    What about the cockerels? If the chickens are above ambient temperature, is TVA payable?
    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    Only if they are coated in chocolate as opposed to 'coated' in chocolate which of course is seperate from coated 'in' chocolate.

    Chocolate subsitute is also allowed for under this ruling.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I'm new and I don't know this person. Val is usually a woman in the US, as in Valerie, and/or derivatives thereof. It was an honest mistake.

    Sure, and while you are at it, when you reach for your wallet, you want to start counting monies.

    Monies surely refers to multiple separate sums of money, so when I count it, should I be counting how much is in each separate lot, how many different amounts there are, or the total sum of all the monies?
