The US IRS has rejected my claim once more for the withholding from my winnings in June.
The reason - incorrect information in check box (h) on form W-7
I will try again >:(

This is a lot higher than mine would be I assure you, but then again I am unlikely to ever be in this position :)

Now my son was brought, kicking and screaming, into this world a healthy 9lbs 11ozs and to be honest has never been any trouble ever. I can count myself very lucky. When he was three years old (because of his mother's influence) he was a Queen fan and had all the moves and most of the words to their songs.
One day he was watching them on video when his older sister (she was 9) arrived in the room and changed over to the proper telly to watch some other tripe that wee girls watch. He went to protest and she pushed him away and he fell on his arse.
I watched this with a bit of interest and was about to intervene when I thought twice. Who do I support here, him because he was watching first, or her because he had been hogging the TV all day. Well before I could say anything Ger picked himself up and looked around the room. No histrionics, no yelling, just quiet determinism.
He went over to the hoover and surveyed it. He took the bottom bit off and disconnected the long tube from the top. Hefted in his hand (he was three remember) and look at Marie
No, he wasn't, he wouldn't, he did.
He hit her from behind with the piece of plastic, if he was older he might have done damage. She sprawled on the floor and he calmly switch back to the video.
Bless

We were in Henchy's bar in Scarriff one lovely summer's day when 4 German tourists arrived in. They were off one of the pleasure boats moored in the harbour.
They approached the bar and they didn't seem to have very good English so one of them pointed at the Harp dispenser and put 4 fingers up to indicate his order. Vinny pulled the pints and left them on the counter. The Germans proceeded to drink their drinks with no regard to Vinny standing staring at them.
“Hello, is everthing ok” said one in halting English
“Money” says Vinny (man of few words)
“Sorry, in Germany we pay after” says the guy
“In Ireland you pay now” says Vinny
The German went into his pocket and pulled out a sheaf of notes and laid them on the counter.
“When you need, you take” says the German
Well Vinny extracted the required amount and left the change and kept that up for most of the day as the German's drank, boy could they drink. The day drew on and it came to closing time and as usual the front door was locked as the festivities began. The German's were great Craic and sang a couple of their own songs as they downed pint after pint.
At about 3am the one German who had a bit of English summoned Vinny.
Looking at his watch he asked “Sorry at what time do you close”
Vinny looked at the pile of notes on the counter and said..
“Around October”
Priceless
