I cannot begin to tell you have much I adore the swedish taxation agency. Every year everybody above 16 gets a letter where all your different incomes (salary, sick pension, dole money, interest from banks etc) are listed, they can do this because all employers and banks have to send this data to the government agency for taxation; employers also deduct the taxes from your salary. At the end of the year your employers, bank etc also has to send you a yearly report, which makes the figures easy to control. If the pre-filled form lists all your income and you haven't bought and sold stock shares, or houses etc. you can either sign the form and send it by mail or sign it on the internet, or via SMS.
It took me five minutes to do my taxes today. I checked the control papers and then signed my declaration on the internet.

And it got me thinking about this: In Sweden we have a (very rarely used these days) "song" that goes: "After the game you're going to die!" (directed at the other team's supporters)
Given the history of british football I assume there must be at least one like it in Britain too; but how does it go? And is it the same for all teams? (like "sing when you're winning..etc.)
