"I know it's not an invention as such but you get my thread excuse the pun but inland revenue how about you good people "
Income Tax was the first tax in British history to be levied directly on people's earnings. It was introduced in 1799 by the then Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, as a temporary measure to cover the cost of the Napoleonic Wars. |

"War  "
Don’t think it’s an invention, but I understand the sentiment, but War does always push medical advancements though… the last 20 years of conflict as driven the advancement of mass trauma injuries from initial life saving treatment to surgery, after care and prosthetics. All now used in civilian settings

"TwitterHi mate never been on passed me by "
occasionally i'll read certain people's posts that i like on there, but quite often it descends into a slinging match & a slinging match limited to the number of words you can post. (I'm convinced it's one of the worst ways to communicate.) |

"The Atomic Bomb"
Ah - the culmination of a long and protracted arms race...
Could I volunteer "weapons"?
That first humanoid who took out a neighbour with a rock/club etc specifically designed to kill for the purposes of personal advantage rather than necessity...
Point of fact, Chimps are doing the same thing in rivalries with neighbouring tribes as we speak
Rather tragic really... |

Yep... give it a couple of million years and they'll be mailing each other pictures of their bananas and trying to figure out where it all went wrong just the same...

The iPhone, because it spawned a new breed of over priced, ultra fragile, battery draining, auto hypn-otising, electronic pacifiers for grown ups who should know better.
(I saw a woman today gawping at her phone whilst her toddler was crossing the road, at the traffic lights behind her, like little ducks without even looking at any of her three kids.)
At least I was keeping an eye on her, whilst waiting for her to get on the kerb and the light to go green:

Boy George and his mastery of deep and meaningful lyrics captured it best...Shakespeare knows nothing...
war is stupid and people are stupid

"Cous cous,,what even is it  "
I was in holiday in Tunisia and went on an evening excursion for a meal. The hosts went on and on about their national dish couscous.
A waiter approached a guest about it and said how wonderful it was. The northern lad simply replied “tastes like shite”. |

"Sliced marmite "
Where can I get this??
Sorry but this would be an epic win.
Cling Film, ok I get that we need it but can someone not improve the bastard stuff so it doesn't stick to itself during dispensing and need another three attempts. And yes I know the freezer trick and it never works |
