Makes sense ... and with a half brick, there are more sharp edges ... I'll remember that next time I try to brick a camel.

Global warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Winter began here in the middle of last October; and today, with the windchill, it is a balmy 15 below. Bricking a camel is a lot safer than bricking a moose Of course, if you distract the moose with a Mars bar .....................

Re: Chocolate tax
Just checked the weather ... the temp. has soared to -13 with the wind chill. And I am having a cup of hot CHOCOLATE, with a touch of rum in it ... well, maybe more than a touch.

Re: Chocolate tax
people already suffer extra inflation on chocolates every year around feb the 14 so god knows how much they will cost if extra tax is put on them

may end up been cheaper to fill the chocolate box with gold


as usual the many get punished for teh mistakes of the few but lets face it this wouldnt be the first stealth tax to come in under the disguise of been in our best interest

fags - put price up to protect our health but didt ban them which would relay protect our health

beer - extra tax to protect our health

mobile speed cameras - never quite seem to be in areas wher ethey are justified and could save lives like outside schools but tend to be set up where theres no houses, pedestrians or schools but they are there to protect us

chocolate - extra tax because taxing everyone will stop greedy sods getting obese

petrol diesil - extra tax to discourage us form driving around and damaging te planet when they know damn well if somone needs to do 40miles a day getting to and from work they will have to still do 40 miles a day regardless of how much the fuel costs or they are out of a job

oxygen/air - still awaiting tax on this but i dont think we will be waiting too long
