Oih Lakesailor - mind who you are slagging off!

[MoodySabre]

Say what you like Paul but why correlate what he is doing with Chartered Accountants? Having retired from 40 years as one I struggle to think of any I have known who deserve insults like that. So /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

I appologise unreservedly about the awful slur I heaped upon your shoulders.

( I blame Monty Python for my twisted view of your splendid, upright profession) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[BlueSkyNick]

I'm not sure you will find too much sympathy around here - but dont take it personally. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

Accepted. Cleese did not help the image. As a local guy helping lots of local businesses and individuals it was always interesting and not at all 'grey' (especially when you employ people to do the donkey work!). Retirement is marvellous - don't work a bit. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

And you wonder why our glorious PM wanted more respect out there /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I'll get over it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

At a party, tell someone you're a chartered accountant, and watch a space clear around you.

Mind you, it's better than saying you work for the Inland Revenue.

not by much

What do accountants do when they have constipation?

Work it out with a pencil /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Isn't it Actuaries who found Chartered Accountancy too exciting...?

So unreservedly that he has p'd himself twice doing it!

Oi! I resemble that quote /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[MoodySabre]

Ok Ok. Easy target.

Could have been worse - I might have been a solicitor and then comments would really be flying. Or a plumber... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Or even .............. an ESTATE AGENT!!!

Sorry Roger, but I've come across a few fellow-accountants who make the Python character look positively dynamic.

Anyway, can't natter all day - just off to count some paper clips....

 

[TrueBlue]

Probably, but Actuaries make much more money....
