It's in reference to a now infamous quote that started the whole expenses ball rolling.

Perhaps being being only a 'local' issue, which you profess to take little interest in, you overlooked it in the local press, has happened with your polling card which showed which ward you live in.

It's not as if it was mentioned to someone in confidence, and then suddenly became public by being posted...they did that themselves.

As for being 'unprofessional' if it's ever referred to, I suppose that now makes yourself, and myself, 'professional' Accy Webbers.

Cool.

When's pay day, and how much do we get paid for our professional services?

Should we start a union to protect our rights?

Nah, let's just get paid by the half-hour, like the oldest professionals .... put a c-note under the pillow and don't slam the door when you leave

With such poor punters as these I reckon we could knock 'em out in ten minutes, and have triple the income.

Since I know you appreciate a good quote, I just happened across this African proverb, which for some reason made me think of this thread.

“Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet.”

A hundred bucks is cheap ... think of the cost of dinner, wine, more drinks, a visit to the clubs, flowers etc

... oh, and a cab ride home

Nice .... I reserve the right to use this without giving you any credit whatsoever

If only poor Princess Margaret had holidayed in Africa, rather than Mustique, she might have known not to have put both feet in a scalding bath, and wouldn't have spent the last few years of her life in a wheelchair.

Personally I'd find it difficult to offer an opinion that's going to be of any value, when I knew so little of the basic facts that were involved, in whatever subject was being discussed, for fear of looking an almighty fool.

As Hilaire Belloc once said:

andrewb says that g jones' of gutter breed,
And g jones says andrewb's a fool indeed,
And g jones and andrewb and I are all agreed.

Well, what he really said was:

Lump says that Caliban's of gutter breed,
And Caliban says Lump's a fool indeed,
And Caliban and Lump and I are all agreed.

Graham, are you saying you only claim 12 pounds a month on your council mobile bills? If so where does teh figure quoted come in? its a factor of 10 out from whjats being quoted.

please clarify so we all know what we are talking about here.

@Cashy - you want me to admit to not having an open enough mind that would allow me to change my vote depending on what I believe is right at the time. - rather starnge to want to admit to being blinkered. Unfortunately I'm not....

I think a rickshaw woud be more appropriate than a pram and the Kow Tow would be complete.....I think the almighty fool might be you sunshine. Personally I think you would find it difficult to offer an opinion that would not involve you as principle player.

Personally I feel andrewb has done himself no favours in this thread, yet again he has tried and failed to get the upper hand on g jones. I'm not happy with him being so bias against members of this forum and will be sending Roy a PM asking that he is no longer allowed to be a moderator of this site. I believe he could be in a position where he could use his moderator tag for his own gain, which under no circumstances should that be allowed.

Far too many coulds in that sentence.
Even though we all often disagree with his views, he's well entitled to them.
I don't see how his moderator status is being abused. Until it is, it's a mute point.
