I'm in general agreement, Gautam, except in the case of "S", my most recent ex-GF.

Dinner last Friday with a different Australian woman was very pleasant! I hope to see her again soon!

Yes, but is it desirable, or not?

Between Kylie and Cher I could build a plastic factory....I think you need to be gay to truly appreciate them, am I right here Gautam? Also, G, you are an auditor? Thank heaven I don't live in London Very Happy

I think the acronym GF may have a double meaning....'girlfriend' is the obvious choice, but could not 'good f---' also be included? That makes it a bit more universal, yes?

I know a lot of str8 guys who are mad abt Kylie as well Laughing but what u r saying is partly correct cav. I have been told that everytime "Can't get you out of my head" comes on at gay clubs, the populace goes mad....

As for me, yeah, I am a fan - but only of that particular song....

Hey auditors are not bad people eh ?? Just because they have two horns and a pointy red tail doesn't mean that u have to be scared of them !! Laughing

I like yr alternate defination of gf - good *food* always makes me smile - no matter what Wink

Lil' Miss Smartypants, hmmm . . . ok, i like it . . .

It is well known that the rest of the American-speaking world is hopelessly inept with the use of the languag--unable to spell words properly, showing bizarre quirks of pronunciation--and i would like to draw your attention to the fact that we do not harp on this, we accept y'all the way your are--warts and all.

Not so - fellow auditor!!! I started with "Every man's" and decided to qualify it. My statement does not exclude gay men...it merely does not refer to them.

If population "C" of all men is made up of "A" straight men and "B" gay men, then saying something about "A" does not mean that it is not true about "B" - it is merely tacit on the subject!

You've got me started.... Laughing

'Good food'...yes, another one....G, I listen to an internet radio show and one guy sends an e-mail....he works for the IRS. He says that they pray for an ex-president to die during slow times, because they get the day off. Doesn't do much for the reps of those involved in hunting people down for money Wink Or does it make them more human....hmmm....

No idea what she looks like, but the woman deserves to be dragged through broken glass for that song.

Just my opinion, however humble it isn't.

Chalk me up as one straight man who'd like to see her (or, rather, hear her) disappear completely.



PJ Harvey -- lovely Polly Jean -- now she can come over and sing me to sleep if she likes.

You're not a proper auditor, if you can say that.

I've always used the line "it doesn't matter if I'm liked, as long as I'm feared" about auditing/investigation work.

I prolly need to add that, while I loathe Kylie's music and style, I admire her ability to market herself and her talent so successfully - she is a maaaaajor success in her market.

Setanta - don't start me.....LOL

I propose a new curse. When you think about it, 'f--- you' is just wishing upon someone else what you want for yourself. I think 'audit you' is far superior.

What's the best thing about being an auditor?
You'll never be out of work! Very Happy (Insert 'bankruptcy trustee' as well)

KP and Gautam, if I ever decide to move to London and become a citizen, and you have to audit me, can we barter for meals?
