totalshell Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 my accountant always says that you only pay income tax on what you earn so if the bills big you must have earned it.. perhaps we should ask if its 'fair' that sports stars earn so much that they live on the isle of man etc in many cases to reduce thier tax bill and thus thier contribution to society As for foriegn stars refusing to come, well look what they have done to english football standards, its great to see the worlds best do what they do but it doesnt exempt them from contributing to support others.

You posted the topic in General Trials Talk - y'know the one with the bold red writing that says "ONLY START A TOPIC IN GENERAL TRIALS TALK IF THERE IS NOT A MORE SUITABLE FORUM. FOR BIKE-SPECIFIC QUERIES POST IN THE RELEVANT BIKE FORUM. FOR UK TOPICS, POST IN THE DEDICATED UK FORUMS" Your topic was moved to the UK forum where it should have been in the first place and where it remains now. Big brother or just keeping tidy forums?

gizza5 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 oh sorry forum tidier.... Andy has been demoted Right Toneybow (you wish) your getting a bit flustered lad about the speed of results for your days enjoyment. Mike probably helped set out both trials the Sidecar and the Twin Shock prior to the weekend, if not he definately as seretery was taking entries for both days and probably left after the last rider finished on both days (you had probably long gone by then), he might have even picked up an observers board and helped out for that thankless task?? I am sure Mike will correct me if I am wrong maybe he did more maybe he did less but he did his fair share!! He then apologises to all for not getting the results up quick enough because his computer was playing up (yes Mike has said that secretery's should post quicker, but it was out of his control), but you still choose to bitch..QUALITY Oh by the way Mike has also a full time job and writes an article every week that you chose to read, but he gave up all of his free time at the weekend so you could enjoy yourself, so what if the results were late you still go to work Monday and will still ride at the weekend, carry on bitching and all these willing helpers will disapear, then you would really have something to moan about. By the way the reults are out now so you can phone your mates and say 'Na Na Na Na Na I beat you!!!!'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 you then tell me to look at the answer to my thread after you have moved it, er how exactly am i supposed to know big brother has moved it???? I'm terribly sorry. Three world rounds on back to back weekends means a Friday is spent travelling and so is a Monday. I then have to fit a full-time job into the remaining time, doing five days worth of work in three days. I therefore hope you can understand and excuse me for not notifying you I've moved your post and that I've moved it on the basis you can't follow the clear instructions provided.

rockyrider Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Excellent post, Andy. This is exactly what we're looking at in America. You would think all Americans would have to do is look accross the pond and see what has taken place on Your shores, but noooooo, Obamanomics say we can spend our way out of recession, no matter where the money comes from. And if that fails....continue to blame it on Bush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Excellent post, Andy. Just for info, I don't write these weekly columns. I have neither the time or the talent to do so! They're written by Mike Rapley. I just post them here for comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toeneybow Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 wipes eyes with tissue... not without respect here and this all started with me asking if anyone had heard any results, followed by a tongue in cheek go at a guy i know and who loves quick results, had i not had my thread removed/moved by big brother (forum tidier...) i would of seen the reply and not needed to send my second post. your straight into the character assassinations and you dont even know what i am or what i do... brilliant aye, just a presumption that i do nothing! well try the fact that so far this year! i have organised 9 motorcycle events, two of which were nationals and you might calm down.... no matter what you say, the original post was constructive, you removed/moved it, (big brother, sorry, forum tidier) so i re posted, had you left it alone and i had seen Mikes reply, we wouldnt be here now, next time might be better not to presume all people who have an opinion do nothing...

rabie Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Just for info, I don't write these weekly columns. I have neither the time or the talent to do so! They're written by Mike Rapley. I just post them here for comment while i grasped this from day 1, the outside see the post next to your name and might conclude that it is you, rather than if you posted under a diffrent ID (be it the trials central ID or another account just for this) it might be clearer that said there is a huge picture of mike with him name next to it .... as for tax, its something for accountants to work on. i'm sure there are ways and means - we have a similar problem being a VAT registered club in a sport where 97%+ of other clubs aren't (i could go into long, arcane and boring details).
