Thread: Incomes taxes in Indonesia

Aaaaawww...... isn't that sweet .....that's it, play nicely boys..... :lol:

Actually Mungo, that's the great thing about this Forum. You can debate things, VERY heated some times, then ..... all friends again! :)

By the way, there will be a BIG event mid next year hosted by Bert (this forum boss!), especially for all members. Make sure you be there! 8)

Roy the thing with those brave & bold soles whom may have crossed paths with the "law" were that they may have been probably forced, like most convicts who came to Australia in the early days, into a bit of crime - if stealing a bit of food to survive is such a bad crime. Ned Kelly is famous down here moreso because he defied (British) authority and was hounded by police constantly for being a Kelly. Yet you got our Prime Minister walking around as though he was God, never a robbed a bank and about as popular as a terd in a punchbowl.

As for holding up a bank - I wish I had the guts. Its a case of a small crook holding up a large crook. But take these cretins who present themselves as honest politicians representing their respective communities, breaking the rules on an hourly basis and sitting up on their pedestals taking ownership of all things that are good an honest (whatever is left). I'll drink a Binny (Bintang) to Uncle George anyday.

But let me hasten to clear up the Binny thing, in case you think I am batting for the other side. Some of us aussies often add a "y" or "zza" to someone's or things(usually male) first or last name as a shortened version and a term of endearment or friendly gesture to the person or thing. For example Warren would be called "Wazza" pron. Wozza to his mates, but Warren to his wife , mother or father. Murray would be "Muzza." Smith would be "Smithy", Ferguson would be "Fergy," Gary would be "Gazza", Roy would still be Roy (perhaps Roy the Boy - like Orbison). If your last name was Thompson or Stephenson it might get shortened to Thommo or Stevo. Weird I know, but that's how it sort of works.

Some people don't like it but most accept it as the norm after a while. I was named mungo for a shortend version of a mix of canines. Only my friends could tell you more. I got stuck with it and worn it for a long time. Thus poor old Bintang was donned "Binny." I had a mate with the last name Sozzoni. He got called "sausage" and loved it.

Thanks Irma for the invitation. Will keep my eye on the time and place.
