I sympathize with you, I paid taxes from 16 to 61 and living in FL for 27 years I paid dearly.

Yes...
They tax you for working.
They tax you for going to work.
They tax you for eating so you can live to work.
They tax you for the housing you need to sleep in, in order to work.
They tax you for the medical bills to bring the next generation of taxpayers into the world.
And then, if you have any money left to spend, they tax you for everything you spend the money on.
And if you decide not to pay any taxes, they put you in a big building with loads of other like minded people so you can pick up loads of tips. They call these "Prisons" and "Congress" in the US, but we have similar institutions for holding criminal types...

And here in the US we watch every email, phone call, etc. that you make so that if you say stuff like they can call IRS to harass audit you so you can pay a little more.

Keep your diary free for the 12th of July
I have bought 4 tickets for this year's Chaps Olympiad[^]
She Who Must Be Obeyed and my good self would be pleased for you to join us for Gin, Pimms and Hijinks.
I have paid for the tickets, so you would be our guests, but if the urge to throw some token of your appreciation toward us were to overwhelm you then feel free to act upon it!
Dress code is 'Chap', no denim or trainers, and no sportswear except cricket whites.
Hats preferred but not obligatory.
Would you and the memsahib be up for it?
Let me know asap.

I don't want to sound critical, but memsahib.
Is that politically correct to be used in polite company?

Thank you for the invitation, but we will have to respectfully decline on this occasion.
We are off to the Orient and will be traveling here for the foreseeable future.
We will be happy to meet up for some food and drink if we get back to your corner of the world.

Its a date.
BTW, Memsahib is acceptable in context.
As a post ironic blast at a lost age of the British Empire it is within the rules

Just curious as to the sensitivity of colonial era sayings.

Been a while, guess no one remember me anymore (if you do, you have been here too long)
But I'm back. Was quite active in here in the good old days, before Bob (and a bit after), and now I thought it was about time to stop by again.
Looking forward to see what CP has worked out to be

Yes. Except for that everything has changed.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Of the Oakman, the Zeppelin, and "he whom shall not be named", I have heard, but who art thou?

Welcome back!
It's the same old CodeProject give or take a few new chairs, upgraded carpet, and a honking big framework to power the articles parked out the back.
What have you been up to?
cheers

Yeah, I can see some of the new chairs here and there
