I just managed to confirm with HMRC that I don't actually have to provide receipts, invoices are enough, for about £1,000 of tax deductibles for this current year.
Now that's good but it gets even better. When I told Mrs Wife she said <quote>You are the best!!!!!!<\quote>. So the next time I really screw up and I get the standard "Why the bloody hell did I even marry you!?", I have the answer there ready!

I'd feel safer telling JSOP he drives a girl's car, than trying to get on up on the Mrs.

We've been together for 15 years precisely because I wouldn't be so stupid as to use it, it is just nice to get one now and again.

Surely you mean "get onE up on the Mrs."? Or are you trying to mount her??? And if so, shouldn't that be posted in The Soapbox???

Well, I thought so. But it did (for some reason) remind me of this old joke:
A elderly man goes into confession and says to the priest,
"Father, I’m 80 years old, married, have four kids and eleven healthy grandchildren, and last night I had an affair with two 18 year old girls. I made love with both of them… twice."
The priest said, "Well, my son, when was the last time you were in confession?"
"Never Father… I’m Jewish."
"So then, why are you telling me?"
"I’m telling everybody!"

Lucky you - My missus wouldn't be caught dead saying that I did something good - for precisely that reason. I get the same feeling from the absence of critique, but of course, I cannot use it at a later date...

I resemble that remark! I have never done PHP* and on top of that I don't do very much development on t'web.
* Slight lie, but I was managing the development not actually hacking the code.

I had to borrow a couple of symbols from a non-standard font so the puzzle can be found in image form here[^] (7, 9).
Edit: So I just posted what I thought was an amusing little puzzle. I didn't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition[^]!
Hint 1: Try toying around with the idea of flexibility
Hint 2: If your childhood coincides with the 70s or 80s you might have been gifted this gifted one
Hint 3: whose story is told in the 2nd word at index 0, 2, 6, 7 & 8?
Answer: STRETCH ARMSTRONG
Even though the repeated characters from the first word were a bit distracting I really expected someone to spot ARMSTRONG straight away (No. 1, astronaut, down, moon, Apollo command module - how hard can it be?) leaving only the right first word to discover - a quick Google would have revealed the relevance of the trademark hero (hence the medal) being pulled apart, I thought in my innocence.

Strange that you didn't say this yesterday, or on any of the other occasions that links have been used! Feel free to set tomorrow's and show me how it should be done!

I agree with super. If it cannot be done with the available symbol set then it should not be acceptable.

Why do we have to have so many rules 
|
|
|
|

I don't think there are many Rules but at some point you have to restrict people to not do everything they want 
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

You really don't - people should be free to be as creative as they like.

And what would happen if you would play a game without any rules?
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

The argument is not about no rules/some rules. It's about too many rules. There are enough rules already there doesn't have to be another one about linking to outside websites.
|
|

|

I agree, i think the rules we have are sufficient. But since outside links are not that good for some of us (Ads on work and stuff) i guess one can critisise that, without getting a bloody nose?

if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

{

Again! This was not said yesterday when the puzzle completely departed from the rules or the many other occasions on which far more questionable puzzles have been set. If you don't want to soil your hands with my unclean puzzle then it's no skin off my nose. I'll make sure never to be so gauche as to provide a correct answer again and you can all enjoy your snobby little coterie in peace.

I raised the issue because this is first time I am seeing with link. Yesterday I did not even participate. If I had seen it, I would have raised it

Well I did not see the FSOW yesterday. But with external link, many working in Office cannot see. It gets blocked.
