One for the Accountants

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

I expect this will get moved to time out as it is not really an accounting post (Mods - please don't!) but I just wanted to say a massive Merry Christmas and the very best of wishes to all of my accounting buddies on here - you know who you are. :)

I am off on holiday on Sunday so won't be on here after then until the New Year. :p

Have a good one and play nice whilst I am away :D

[Jenni384]

Awww :D

Merry Christmas Elaine and have a fabulous time :)

Merry Christmas indeed to everyone else too :)

[Zeno]

Merry Christmas Elaine. Enjoy yourself.

Jenni, is David going away on Sunday too?

[Wild Goose]

Hope your flight works, Elaine.

I'm off too before my SAD kicks in. See you on the beach! ;)

Merry Christmas Beannies and everyone :)

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

Jenni, is David going away on Sunday too?

You bad boy :D:D

[Jenni384]

Jenni, is David going away on Sunday too?

Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


<the penny drops>

I did wonder where he was going! :D

[Zeno]

So she has taken up his "invertation" after all.

Can't get anything by us.

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

I have always wanted a Toy Boy - or was it a Toy Poodle I wanted. Old age - lost my memory :rolleyes::|

[Jenni384]

I have always wanted a Toy Boy

Highly recommended! ;) :D

Actually, you lot, I'll have you know that in real life I am a toy boy ..... by 3 years. So stick that in you pipes and smoke it!

[DFL]

Happy Christmas and new year to all accountants on here.
Such a nicer, friendlier bunch than some of those scrooges on AW!
Theres a sense of cameraderie on here as opposed to point scoring!
My New Yaers resolution is not to bite to any of them, can't see it lasting past 2 Jan though :)

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

Three years doesn't make you a toy boy.

Anyway what is this real life thing you mention???

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

can't see it lasting past 2 Jan though :)

That long hey!

[Zeno]

Toy boys & what ever the female equilvalent is are all well and good but remember that sooner or later you will here the phrase:-

"You put the lights out Darling and I will just pop my teeth in the jar..."

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

I think if there was a Sift award for the Best group then The Accountants Collective should get it.

We give great advice (most of the time), have a bit of friendly banter and make the accounts forum a nice place to hang out.

Shall I just blow our trumpets a bit more :eek::D:p

[DFL]

Too right, if we don't big ourselves up then who will? :D

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

"You put the lights out Darling and I will just pop my teeth in the jar..."


Oh noooooooooo

Actually I remember having a conversation with my Girlie friends once along the lines of - when you get false teeth would you take them out to have a snog etc? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

I can see that today is going to be a productivity day :cool::eek::p:):rolleyes:

This could go downhill very rapidly :D

Yessssss - it's Christmas

If David's volunteering for the toy-poodle vacancy then shotgun the toy-boy job. I'm probably a bit young for you at 49, but what the hell! http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif

[DFL]

Yessssss - it's Christmas

Did you say that Noddy Holder style?

Yep - so love the song in a very cheesy way

It does. She's in her forties, I'm in my thirties. Just doing my bit for help the aged!

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

[dp0848]

I'll join you in just over a year and then it will be a really cool place to be.

[Jenni384]

ignore me, totally not keeping up with teh thread :D

[Jenni384]

Hey, what about us cool 20-somethings?!?!


(yes I can still say that.... just!!!)

[Jenni384]

woop woop i killed the thread :D

good going :)

We should all be working anyway :p

[Wild Goose]

Ok, so far we have: cool 20-something accountants; cool thirty-something accountants; and cool forty-something accountants.

And they say we have low self-esteem!


woop woop i killed the thread :D

Hah!

We should all be working anyway :p

That's not a cool thing to say!!

Is "cool" even erm, cool to use anymore?

You lot are so not with it. Whatever "it" is...

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

How do you post a blank comment?

And more to the point - why?

It's wicked then or safe or something similar :|:cool:

[Jenni384]

hahahah Wicked and Safe...... LOL

Erm... I don't know. I don't think I'm cool any more :D

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

I know I am cold at the moment - you feel the cold as you get older

[Zeno]

So no-one knows what "it" is or how to get with it?

Probably no point finding out. They will only change what "it" is.

[David Griffiths]

If I claimed to be "cool" and my kids found out it could be seriously life threatening for them. I'm expecting my normal present - Grumpy Old Men Extreme!

I'm also refusing to get involved in any age related ____ty-something posts by pleading the Fifth amendment.

I'll switch the "Bah Humbug" mode off for the moment to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a great New Year. There is a real sense of community on this site which I truly enjoy.

Nadolig Llawen a Blyddwyn Newydd Dda as they say in the Welsh speaking parts of Wales (that's not round here!)

[DFL]

How do you post a blank comment?

And more to the point - why?

I edited it. Jenni mentioned that she killed the thread, I posted up a link to a giant tumbleweed, link didn't work, I deleted link as it looked silly.

So basically I was trying to be funny and failed miserably. :redface:

Hi,

I like to start my own business at New Delhi India.......I have knowledge of accounting, finance, funding, manufacturing of Batteries.......knowledge of Indian Tea, Marbles, Garments and some other items import-export, Import-Export of Hand-tools & automotive spare parts. Some knowledge about outsourcing services provided for Cad-designing.

I prefer to work as Indian re-presentative of a foreign company who wants to expend their business in India. I have a very good experience about a office/business setup in northern India states.

Please advice me how I can start working with a UK company?

Thanks

Anil Garg

Thanks for the heads up Elaine, I will make him get back to regular work now. :):rolleyes:

Woo-Hoo! I have a new friendywendy! :)

Does this mean I'm shortlisted for the toy-boy vacancy, Elaine? :|

[Geoff T]

Sorry to intrude on your "Beanie love fest", but wanted to echo my thanks, and best wishes, to all you beanies - excellent advice, and more than a few laughs, all year round (well, since I've been looking at any rate!)

Festive greetings to all - and thanks to all for all your help

(and the excellent wind ups Elaine;):))

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

They all want to join our love fest now :p

No snow yet in the frozen north :(

[oldeagleeye]

No snow here yet on the London/Essex borders but it is bloody freezing.Never mind. When the weather is like this despite all the trial and tribulations of running your own business don't you just love the fact that when it comes to executive decisions it is down to us.

My next 2 are to put together a rather large hot brandy toddy and flick then electric blanket on high and then hopefully get through the whole of the Zhivago movie on DVD this time.

BTW. Good luck all you that have booked BA and a special thanks due to the travel agent that bribed the judge with a holiday in Babardos this chrismo I think:eek:

Merry Christmas everyone!!:D

You're too near the sea. Never saw snow when I lived on the coast, 'cept for that really bad winter of '47 ;)

Blue skies here, after this morning's light flurry. Weird! I jus' can't get used to livin' in the sticks!

I'll go back and ask him - I'm sure I saw Doctor somewhere on his cv!

A tax course? At this time of year?

Did you all wear Santa hats?

No, but they did buy us mince pies, does that count?

Me too! Snow next week, please.

I'm stoppin' off in Nottingham en-route to the airport; want to visit Robin Hood's grave. Apparently, he's buried in an unusual place and I want to see it!

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

Kirkless Priory?

[Wild Goose]

..but nearby. Legend has it that when Robin was lying on his death bed, next to an open window upstairs in the Blue Boar Inn, he whispered to Little John and Maid Marion to fetch him his bow, so that he might fire one last arrow. His dying wish was that he be buried wherever that arrow landed.

And that's the story of how Robin Hood came to be buried in such a very unusual spot.

I trust everything you say darling and you scared the hell out of me for a few minutes over a few mince pies when I and my associates are just about to spend £1,000,000 quid on a business centre. Delegates ratess starting @ £250 a day.:eek:

Robert

[elainec100@cheapaccounting]

well glad I could help you promote your new venture! :eek::D:D:p

[oldeagleeye]

Doesn't need promotion Elaine. The venue will not be advertised. It will not be found on Google or any other search engine. In short it will be the corporate worlds best kept secret. After all we wouldn't want HMRC to know that delegates can eat their mince pies and sip a glass or two of shampoo in the giant jaccusi.:D

[anilgarg]

Great joke - which one of you guys is this. :D:D

Hi, this is not a joke. I have 15 years of experience working in my life.

Gawd. We will be down to the christmas cracker jokes soon like 'what is the best stocking filler'. I reckon an accountant called Elaine or Jennie.

That is unless your gay. In which case you may feel it is DancingwithPoodles. Chocolate fairies and all.:D

[Wild Goose]

Hi Rob, how ru?

I'm feelin' gay in the Enid Blyton sense. Hic! Pardon.:cool: Too much ginger beer!
