Irritating BS your SO does

I want to shoot myself in the face if I have to even think of IFRS.

And your feelings about GAAP and FASB?

I kinda get his point though. One of my friends is literally addicted to piercings and tattoos, among which she has her ex-boyfriend's star-sign, another dedicated to another ex-boyfriend's suicide, and an entire upper arm sleeve of clouds (dedicated to her new found love of sky-diving... which incidentally, happens to be what her new boyfriend does). I sense a pattern brewing.

heck, can't wait for when she becomes a volunteer oil slick sponge operator - coated seals and gasping cormorants all up her thighs - that will soon becomes so '10's'

Having meltdown...losing control...*gasp*

Luckily, my husband won't tell me where he keeps the gun.

Edited for absolutely ####### spelling.

Yeah, there is a limit to what is acceptable, and like saywhat said, you have to think about future opportunities. How does she explain those tats dedicated to previous boyfriends to her current boyfriend?

She attempted to cover-up the star-sign one by designing a huge one over it (though in the right light, I swear you can still see it. Tattoos are forever, they always leave *something*) and her other one she simply says is a dedication to him as they were so close. He doesn't seem to mind it much.

I don't have any ink, but if I one day have a daughter (already decided what to call her), I may get a small one on my wrist.

And accountants when they drink - which was quite often, for my boss and I, back in the day...well, only the IT people could keep up with us. The salespeople were envious.

We governance folk are also renowned drinkers, possibly because we are drawn from across the hard-drinkin' disciplines: lawyers, accountants, investment managers... Our annual convention is next week in Toronto and I expect to be drunk or hungover for three straight days.

Hey I was doing generally accepted accounting principles and surfing the financial accounting standards board when inflation was 15%

Constipated accountants don't need pills - they can work it out with a pencil

I wasn't always one of them - I was a detective for years before - the two are not much different.

Oh, I spent from 2003 - 2009 in Toronto! There are some awesome drinking spots...lots of little pubs. But, if you get a chance, try the rooftop patio at Wayne Gretzky's - spectacular setup!

NOW I am impressed

I once went on a sales do in Rome and I was red wine litred for 3 days - I remember the Pantheon and the Colosseum but that's it. I did see the Sistine chapel ceiling but i felt dizzy looking up and nearly fell backwards on a nun

It might have been a penguin...you do look familiar!

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Yeah, looking forward to Toronto -- I leave tomorrow morning. Meeting up with the lovely Julez on Saturday which just so happens to be my birthday. Will check into that rooftop bar thing -- ta.

A mite worried because my evil ex-boyfriend will be at the conference -- I dumped him for my husband, so every year he asks me how my marriage is going.

I know the difference - penguins have dirty habits and nuns ... well read this ! our local nunnery was shut down in the 12th century as they were keeping local workmen overnight at their brewery...doing some hookering, getting preggy and brewing more than allowed !

As usual Yorkshire shows the way>>>

Tell him it gets better and better every day ... nothing wrong with a little gratuitous cruelty every now and then - ask ####### Cheney

Try not to let him get to you. You know he's only asking because he's hoping you'll give him bad news. Don't indulge him, just say something short, and change the subject. It's your business.

Good one.

I have appointed my friend Catherine to act as chaperone to make sure I don't let him get in my pants. God, he was a #######, but a ####### I would probably sleep with again with a bottle of wine coursing through my system. He looks a bit like a younger, Jewish James Nesbitt.
