Christians.

I have to go to a Christening today and feign respect for an organisation who worship a beardy sky man.

A lefty being annoyed by Christians. It should be annoying but I'm laughing too much. What was Communism if not belief in a false God at gunpoint?

hehe

I had to go, I'm the boys godfather. I take my responsibilities towards the child very seriously but the religious ceremony is a crock. His patents know I feel this way. wink

And the free bar was ace.

In the US it can be, I believe.

You can effectively choose to pay your tax liability to charity or the federal govt.
I am sceptical of that although happy to be proved wrong.
I would have thought that no one would pay tax in that scenario
Is it not simply a question of donating money to charity in order to stay under a particular tax threshold ? One for Eric Mc to answer really
I get the impression you can offset some tax liabilities with charitable donations, certainly Goodwill stores benefit significantly from stuff donated in this way.
I am not sure about the US example but here you can indeed make a charitable donation and that does not attract tax.
That doesn't benefit you at all though because you are giving the money away. You don't benefit out of that transaction in any way whatsoever - you have just earned less because you have given it away.

i.e. simplistic example with rough figures:
You earn £30k you pay 23% tax on that £30k =£6.9k in tax
You earn £30k and give £10k to charity thus pay 23% on 20k = £4.6k
How are you better off having done that? Basically you have just earned £10k less so you have paid less tax. There is no advantage and no "writing it off against tax" which is a meaningless phrase often used to imply that things are free when you own a business.

Hmmm,
A woman I know works in media and a chap in her office wears jeans, a t-shirt and brown leather brogue work shoes with no socks. Actually it is worse. He does wear socks but those tiny ones that are designed to look like you have no socks on when you have clearly denoting that this is a statement.
I have never met this bloke but I fking hate him nontheless

Yeah, but at least you can't see his horrific toenails.

**Looks down at white ankle "sport" socks and casual trainers. And knee length shorts.

Hmm

In my defence, this way my feet won't sweat into my trainers making them smell worse than goats cheese...

Do you live in the tropics? Here in the UK it's about 19c outside. What will you do when (if) it gets warm?

That's crazy talk. It's shorts weather. I'm a Northerner. To a point.
