Hopefully the tweak hasn't worked and the dodgers get hammered and, better still, the series gets cancelled. Paddy Power are giving odds of 20/1 that the next series is filmed in Mauritius and 150-1 that Brendan O'Carroll is jailed for crimes against comedy
A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “I know it’s achingly cool to hate Mrs Brown’s Boys but, for once, the hipsters are right.
“So this leak has put a lot of hope into the people of Ireland, Britain and anyone who owns a television set. A Mrs Brown’s Boys-free year of telly really would be Paradise.”
Anyway that's me done on the subject. Thanks for an intelligent and non-abusive debate Lasterman. We are poles apart on the rights (?) and wrongs of tax avoidance but at least you've seen the error of your ways in your "if it's legal it's ok" stance - a u-turn in the right directon ;D
I'm convinced that you are a thoroughly decent chap with a social conscience and, obviously a great sense of humour (Your "tax avoiders only want to be fair" point could migrate to the Bugle with little amendment ;D)
I've enjoyed the thread - despite it being hi-jacked from its "benefit cheats make me sick" theme
