No, I most certainly didn't take you for an air head. That's me who's the air head, and I can recognise one of my own kind from miles away. We have a herding instinct.

I just didn't have you down as an accountant!! Don't know what I thought you were,mind. But you must admit giraffes aren't usually accountants. More likely to be florists or centre lathe turners, I've heard.

Ahem! Do I need to fess up? But then you knew that didn't you?

That tells me so much about you, as well as how little you know about ME in those days

I'm still not out on the town but the last part probably still applies
Whereas I am now not only not out on the town any more, I also have a complete dearth of lust. Used it all up in the 1980s I think. :lol:

nope quite the opposite....id take things apart to see how they worked.....and then fail to put them back together... :-D

Oh THAT was easy. "Go and ask your nanny" the other scientist in the family!! :mrgreen:

And Giraffe, no I don't do tax evasion. I'm possibly the most scarily honest person you'd ever meet. So much so that I'll go back to a shop which has given me 20p too much change and give it back. Basically, a complete idiot. :roll:

Nahh - I had a fair idea who I was playing with :twisted: Some of my 'conversations' with Co-Op Society accountants still haunt me 15-years after the event :roll: On one system I had a perfectly good "Accounts Arrears Report", and after a stupidly long discussion was finally abandoned I went off an wroe an "Accountant's Arrears Report" just for him. It calculated the way he wanted, but had NO business use :lol:

I'll just make sure MBH has completely different clues to everyone else at the Meet so he goes heading off in the wrong direction. :twisted:
