Stupid

Some things drive the Gorse Fox ape.

There is no football this morning, so the Gorse Fox got on with some admin. Most of his admin he has down to a fine art, this however was something different.

This was a letter from a US investment organisation who manage the GF's Starfleet investments requesting that he update his US Tax information. Somehow he knew this would not be straightforward. Somehow he knew they would not be as sophisticated as the UK systems. And so it proved to be true.

Once he found the form he was told he could print it out and fill it in or fill it in online. The latter seemed sensible, until he completed the form and found he still had to print it, sign it, and then post or fax it. Evidently the use of electronic forms is still a bit of mystery to the US IRS... and so the form will be received in some fax machine somewhere and then probably transcribed by a human.

Please accept the Gorse Fox's scorn, by proxy (fax), as a slap round the head can sometimes offend.
