Really? Well let me explain for the slower element on here. I have been acting full time for less than a year. ie, acting has been my sole income for less than a year. With me so far? Cool, now the fiscal year is from April to April, therefore I have not had to pay tax on my earnings and because of the way I timed my transferring of occupation I will not have to pay tax for another 16 months.

If my earnings continue as they are for another year beyond there is no way I will continue to live in the UK.

Are we all up to speed?
Odd. I could have sworn you said you were an actor from the moment you joined NSC, which I believe was Jan 2007.

I must admit, I don't know where bushy is getting this chicken suit idea from? I thought you were mopping floors and emptying office bins to pay the rent with Les Bien, no?

What you can't afford to? I know it is expensive the best thing to do is buy some properties and rent them out. That will boost your income no end.......I would imagine.

well it depends. An actor at my level is hugely different from household names. I will doubtfully ever earn enough to put me into the league where I can travel all over the world getting work. It's a decision I will look at in a year or so.

Anyway, there is little point chatting to people on here about it so I will let the thread get back on topic. It's been real.

Yes, I acted then but not full time. Yes, I used to share a flat with a mate (unheard of I know) and yes I used to clean offices . Is there some kind of issue with this. You lot can try and catch me out all day long. You won't .

I trust you see the logic in it then being an FD?

I don't recall you getting stroppy with the way the UK tax system works back in the day when we were all paying for your (rather long) "resting" periods.

What changed? Did you all go on strike until you got paid as much as the blokes in the Tinky Winky, Dipsy and La la suits?

You must be a method actor, are you playing the part of a COCK in your current movie, serious question?

Nibble is a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life: in a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, an ACTOR and a devil-may-care killer. The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer, appearing in several dictionaries.[1] The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Nibble as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs". [2] The most famous of Thurber's inept male protagonists, the character is considered "the archetype for dreamy, hapless, Thurber Man".[3]

Although the story has humorous elements, there is a darker and more significant message underlying the text, leading to a more tragic interpretation of the Mitty character. Even in his heroic daydreams, Nibble does not triumph, several fantasies being interrupted before the final one sees Nibble dying bravely in front of a firing squad. In the brief snatches of reality that punctuate Nibbels fantasies we meet well-meaning but insensitive strangers who inadvertently rob Nibble of some of his remaining dignity.

Yet you find the time to indulge me!
