Not knocking the oil but it looks a little pricy for what it is...

I'd prefer something like:

We've already had the olive discussion


I was in the plumbers merchant with my argumentative 13 year old son.
He asked why we were there and I said I needed to buy some olives. I
ended up winning a £5 bet with him, because plumbers merchants
obviously don't sell olives! Never paid me though.

No, they never do.

Don't think it gets any easier as they get older either.

The amounts by which you subsidise them just increase.

Well, I'm sure at some point during your entrepreneurial career you
said, "I'm only doing it for the kids", and they believed you.

No I didn't because they wouldn't have. Fortunately they haven't
become actuaries, accountants or tax inspectors either.

I think that accountants are marginally useful in that at least they
will do the boring work of assembling numbers, predominantly for those
that don't really need to know them.

Actuaries are simply people who found acountancy too exciting.

I've never found anybody other than a tax inspector who believes that
tax inspectors form a valued part of the food chain.

I wouldn't want to encourage anybody's child to go down any of these
career paths let alone my own. This is in the slight hope that
eventually the Darwinian principles would apply and these "professions"
would die out. However, it is not one of my major crusades.

That's book keepers. Accountants run the world and, given our obsession
with the bottom line, maybe that's appropriate.

Actuaries are simply people who found acountancy too exciting.


I know one who is still working on Twin Towers cases. When bad things
happen, the boring details don't disappear when the news coverage stops

I've never found anybody other than a tax inspector who believes that

They're there to keep entrepreneurs in check.

Then how would the government know how much to tax you?

Actually you're right. I'd thought of them in terms of a subset rather
than a sub species.

They think that that's what they do. Entrepreneurs simply look for
an alternative solution.

They seem happy enough to outsource their data entry to people who they
claim to be their customers.
