Can we get back to the important issues of Canadian tax returns as this thread seems to have gone adrift somewhere.

Oh dear. Sorry but I can't let that pass unremarked. (I've just read it... as I said elsewhere we had a dinner party last night... I wasn't online at all).

steve666, was I talking either to you or about you? As others have said, grow up. If that comes across as santcimonious or smug, then I'm sorry. What can you say when faced with such a puerile remark?

Here, as a while ago on the unlamented homeopathy thread, you appear to think that causing offense is your right, and to think, just like a teenager, that consequences don't apply to you so it's OK to pour on more rudeness and offensiveness on top.

This is the interwebby, the consequences are harder to perceive, but one of them is that many will find you to be a less than welcome addition to the board.

During the first couple of months i kept forgetting the steering wheel is on the left.
Every time i went to the right door i would wipe the windows over so no one realised what i had done. I must have had the cleanest windows in Canada

.. Welcome to BE

14 months later and I still go to the wrong side of the car........occasionally. To reduce my look of stupidity I usually just pop my bag onto the passenger seat. Maybe I will alternate between that and cleaning the passenger window now

God - I'm glad it's not just me !!! I'm forever putting my handbag on the front seat and casually sauntering round to the other side of the car

Clever with wordage. You're a stuck up northern old git. Fer sher. Your turn.

I was going to use an icon but can't be asked (can't be asked is a young people's term, you can't do that).

You really don't know what's going on here do you. Smug...yep, you are.

I bet you treat your wife like shite too.

Steve, you're a nasty piece of work, you really are!
Mods....how long do we have to put up with this kind of rudeness on here? I thought name-calling and swearing was against board rules?

PS...I bet you treat your wife like shite too!

That's quite enough, I thought the thread was getting back on track but I was wrong.
