I think this is a fitting start.

I think possibly @nigeld was referring to funny comments and banter within all threads. The weaving on and off topic in a thread is amusing to some (myself included) but not to all sadly.

That's the very best part of threads on web forums. I used to be a member of an astronomy forum and the mods used to hate off-topic wandering (even in the general chat forum - I can understand their point when someone's asking for technical help). It made for very boring chat.....

True.

So, Roberto's Vs Rigotti gold; What's the final verdict?

Waiting for Tony Hancock to finish summing up.

I remember this joke because it made me realise that I could still understand the accent that I was born with but because of moving to Australia at fourteen yrs of age I kind of put it in the past. Anyway I was living in Germany in the early 80,s and had just finished a season with a Kur orchestra in Bad Orb near Frankfurt, and had moved to Detmold to do some studying with the renowned German Clarinetists/ teacher Jost Michaels. Anyway there were lots of international students there and I was invited to a young American female,s place for a chat. I was under the misconception that she was interested in me, but I found out she was intrigued by this sound clip of Billy’s and wanted me to translate. It was the first time I had heard of Billy, but I was laughing all the way through the recording, and fortunately was able to explain with sensitivity the punch line.

English accents and Siri don't combine. Also there are so many hidden meanings in the language that translations can be misleading. In the next scene the subject is translated as girl trap.

When you come to my country, that's really all you need.

Fantastic! Oida..
In Norwegian (official) Uff da is similar!
In Trøndelag dialekt, which is more taciturn, maybe Jada... Literally "yes then" but could be:
- yes? Then? - What's your point?
- yes then. of course
- yes. Then? - so what?
- yes, then, - ok, we're ready, let's get on
- yes, Then! - i knew i would hit my finger with the hammer

It's a step in the right direction.

I gave up on an astronomy forum for exactly that reason - the mods seemed to be on some sort of crazed power trip

Which forum was that?

On an astronomy forum maybe they were aliens.

Aliens would have been fine. Unfortunately, they seemed to all be small minded adenoidal rule-fetishists with a very limited world outlook. Which I always found strange for people supposedly spending time marvelling in awe at the wonders of the universe.

I wonder if it was the same one? Stargazers Lounge?

Maybe there are aliens who are like that - spreading a plague of "Form 12b in triplicate" around the universe?

I know, Douglas Adams has been there, done that.

Sometimes it is 12ba

What are the key differences between Form 12B and 12BA?​

Form 12B and Form 12BA serve different purposes even though they are both issued under Rule No. 26 of the Income Tax Act. Here are the key differences between them:

• An employee must fill out Form 12B with details such as income from salary, TDS deducted, etc. and submit it to his new employer if he joins a new company as a salaried employee in the middle of a financial year. However, Form 12BA gives a detailed statement of fringe benefits, perquisites, profits, etc. in lieu of income from salary.
• Form 12BA is a statement of perquisites to be issued by the employer to the employee whereas, Form 12B is a statement to be provided by the employee to a new employer if he is joining in the middle of a financial year.

Form 12B is filled and submitted by the employee to the employer at the time of joining in the middle of the financial year. Form 12BA is issued along with Form 16 by the employer to the employee on 15th June in the FY immediately following the applicable financial year. Thus, Form 12BA for FY 2018-19 will have to be provided by the employer on or before 15th June 2019 (excluding any extension provided by the government).
