Why do we have to do it and how can we be forced to by law?

apparently there is a fine and criminal record waiting for anyone who chooses not to fill it out, what is the legal precedence for that?

    Your chance to mess with them. Tell them you are crossdressing transexual from transylvania, and a jedi warrior.

    Are we going to start another campaign to get "Mountain Biker" added as a "religion" on the form?
    I have a vague memory of MBUK trying it a few years ago. We should get all the other forums and facebook groups involved too.

    wife re just filled out the one for our household as she wasnt particularly keen on the answers i was going to enter, most of which went along the lines of "mind your business" and other general lies.

    What gets me is, all the "unknown" imigrants and tax dodgers etc who wont fill it in, so the country will be none the wiser about the amount of people living / working here.

    There's no census on the IOM? oh.
  • We've never had any forms for it. Although I'm sure I rmember seeing a letter about it.

    I've certainly never filled one in anyway.

    Edit: Yes we do have a census, my bad. For the 2006 one I was travelling, and the 2001 one would most likely have been completed by the olds as I was stll at home.

    +1 on the Jedi!
    In the last Australian census millions claimed to be Jedis making it the 4th most popular religion in the country

    Mine came through the other day. I'll be moving into my new house a couple of days before. I don't know what to do with the one for the current house :?

    Erm, what? I didn't understand any of that at all.

    Good. You're not involved in compiling the census and I doubt anyone else is (unless we have civil servant types or employees of Lockheed Martin) so that basically means no one related to this knows where I am.

    I thought YeeHaa was Welsh?

    I don't think the government will particularly care that you've buggered off. If a member of your family in the future tries finding you though, they'll just presume you died some time between 2001 and 2011, except they won't find a death certificate, which will really p*ss them off. Well, it's p*ssed my Mum off!

    So did I, until our lot were drunkenly ripping the pi** out of people in Welsh this last weekend, until one of us pointed out that our insults were almost entirely in English, and that we were being perfectly understood by the pub full of angry Caledonians :lol:

    Leathered? Round here that means drunk. That would have been far more entertaining. Forcing his way in and compelling them to get rat-arsed :lol:
