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. |

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. |

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 tax inspectors form a valued part of the food chain. They're there to keep entrepreneurs in check. I wouldn't want to encourage anybody's child to go down any of these career paths let alone my own.

That's book keepers. Accountants run the world and, given our obsession with the bottom line, maybe that's appropriate. Actually you're right. I'd thought of them in terms of a subset rather than a sub species. 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 tax inspectors form a valued part of the food chain. They're there to keep entrepreneurs in check. They think that that's what they do. Entrepreneurs simply look for an alternative solution. 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. Then how would the government know how much to tax you? They seem happy enough to outsource their data entry to people who they claim to be their customers. |
