LOVING the faces to names!!

On the internet, no one knows what species you belong to, until people start encouraging the use of real photos!

Amanda · Expert

Shaun's been married about 20 times already surely he doesn't want to do it again!

I know its a dogs life John, but you're looking a bit rough on that photo (Ok, Ok, I'll get me coat!)

EPF_Solutions · Senior Member

I'm also rather confused over my gender, as you won't find the bits underneath that you would expect of someone called John!

VinceH · Expert

Pfft. Mine's always been a real photo of me - and not wearing a stitch of clothing, either.

Cheshire · Master Book-keeper

Don't think we need to do anything Dave, with the amount of flirting that already goes on via this site! Cilla might be wanting to buy a hat soon!! Looks like John and John have pulled!!!

I wonder what a marriage consisting of two Accountants would be like, who would be in charge of the finances? lol I know it must be the one with the most qualifications lol

Just leave that to the ex bankers! Or as my Dad always said - 'whats mine is mine and what yours in ours' biggrin

Ha ha Dave, your comment made me laugh as I come into that category. I met my hubby when we were both articled to the same firm although initially we never used to see each other as we were always out at different clients. However, the time came when I went on an audit with him as his junior and the rest is history........

Yes, it's at the top of a long (long, long) set of stairs on a heavily wooded mountainside about 30km from the city of KhonKaen which is the Thailands second city that nobody seems to have heard of.

Love it there and often ponder retiring to the Isaan region some day.... Think that I've got to do a hell of a lot more self assessments before I get to that stage though!... Considering the final couple of days of January this year I'm also pondering how much I could get for the parts of some of my clients which could speed up both the ability to retire overseas and the necessity for it. lol.

This year was particularly bad with too many clients holding onto the simplest bits of info until the last moment and to be honest the experience is making me look more seriously at the corporate side of the fence again...

Ah but Dave my Dad is clearly one of the last romantics! Although now you come to mentioned it I think he used that saying originally until my Mum (verbally) beat him up over it.

Amanda · Expert

Love your sense of humour Steve!!!!

Spamkebab · Expert

I need to get me a face :)

Cheshire · Master Book-keeper

Helllooooooo Neil. Just a few more to persuade now!

Shamus · Forum Moderator & Expert

Link removed from signiture.

Your avatar image is broken. It could be that you used too large an image.

I appreciate that it was small and light grey in an attempt to make it invisible but it was still SEO from a new member which I am afraid is against the site rules.

Please tell the site a little about yourself, you acccountancy or bookkeeping qualifications, experience, etc. which will enable members to answer your questions going forwards.

Also if you could use your signature line to add your first name so that people can address you properly without going to your profile that would be good,

Many thanks,

Shaun.

Cheshire · Master Book-keeper

Never seen such a small post from a newbie!

Johnnnnnnnn - with your old avatar (sush dont tell Shaun, not many get away with having two you know!) .....Im just about to launch facebookkeepers.com!! biggrin biggrin

Leger · Master Book-keeper

hehehe I've actually got three, but I don't think the other one has an avatar. I didn't use it for long, because I then started using the 111 username.

On the newbie front, it had a very light grey link to some foreign dating site, which Shaun swiftly removed. (1)

You have to be up very early in the morning to catch our Shaun out.

(1) Must have been the mention of facebookkeepers.com lol.

Cheshire · Master Book-keeper

Oh go on do tell, which is the other one?

Ah but we did catch Shaun napping the other night, with that one who tried dumping a million posts, although we have absolutely no evidence of it now, except I could hear the snoring from here so have recorded it just in case we need proof.

Leger · Master Book-keeper

We even had a conversation lol

http://www.book-keepers.org.uk/t55873862/christmas-party/

and see I was a good boy putting my name underneath, no slap handys for me biggrin

Cheshire · Master Book-keeper

Slapped legs for having three!!! Crickey - multi personalities. lol

OMG though - I would rather forget that post. That client was a nightmare! So glad I extricated myself from that one.

A very belated thank you to Elaine too!

Bad, bad, naughty John.

I note though that you only use one at a time and the only reason for the change is that once an account is created the account name cannot be changed so worry not I'm not going to make anything of it as it's pretty much that you have consecutive rather than concurrent accounts.

We had an interesting one on here some time back who would ask questions, log off, log back in immediately as someone else and answer them... I know this as both of them had the same offshore IP address when I banned them / him / her. I forget the names of the two accounts but I do remember that the person trying to make themselves look like an expert (but only when questions were asked from this one other account) was quite often getting the answers wrong. Lol.

Yes, and I would like to officially thank the eagle eyed night owl who contacted me to tell me that the site was under attack.

First time in goodness only knows how long that I've got to bed before two and those wee miscreant spammers / SEOers were just waiting for their moment.

On the bright side I now know where to buy almost any certification for any qualification plus birth certificates, University degree's, passports, etc. And I can also apparently increase my investment by 800% in one hour if I have just $200k to invest!
