    From RTE.ie;
    The High Court has ruled that musicians Foster and Allen must pay around €3m each to the Revenue Commissioners.
    Michael Foster had challenged a judgment granted against him in 2008 for almost €3m in tax and penalties arising out of a €1m tax demand.
    Tony Allen challenged the Revenue Commissioners action for summary judgment against him over a demand for income tax and penalties totalling almost €3.5m.
    The claim for income tax goes back to the 1980s.
    Mr Justice John Hedigan rejected their challenge.
    He described Mr Foster's action as a "hopeless application" and said he had delayed too long in bringing it.
    He found that Mr Allen had not established that he had a real defence that was likely to succeed to the application for judgment.

    It's been suggested that they pay up, or face doing a whole "Bunch of Thyme" :pac:

    For €3million it is a precious thing
    And €3million brings all things to my mind
    €3million with all its flavours, along with all its joys
    €3million, brings all things to my mind

    The one on the right looks like the priest from Glenroe, the one on the left looks like an IRA terrorist. I wonder what the English made of this appearance?

    Laugh all you want lads, they're (as a pair) one of the biggest recording acts on the planet. I personally hate them, but they hate each other too by all accounts, so it's alright :pac:

    Plus a huge amount of people will have grown up with parents that liked them. My Dad tortured us on car trips playing their tapes.

    Songs about roiding... smart fookers all the same, knew how to sell records.


    Not many bunches of thyme around these days. Feckin salons were the ruination of a good minge.

    They'd never even heard of a Brazilian in Mullingar until the Celtic Tiger.

    Yes, they're called "Fester and Ailin'" on that show. :P

    I just wish I had earned enough in my whole lifetime to be able to owe even €1 million in taxes.:)

    It wasn't exactly their fault. Was a rouge barrister who conned them out of 50k and told them that tax with the revenue commisioners where sorted.
