As most Victoria station users will know, there is a small time delay before the doors open when the train gets in.

Occasionally, we have a guard (are they still called that?), who announces over the intercom, that this is "Due to the satelite navigation system"

This MUST be a newbies wind-up surely ?

It's true all train have sat nav now and when they arrive at Victoria it loses the connection hence the delay in opening the doors as the driver has to tell the train where it is.

I'm an accountant (well final year of Uni anyway) and i'm not geeky looking. Can't write any more, have to dash, I need to clean my face with Clearasil pads and then squeeze these annoying spots on my forehead. Need to find my glasses first though :jester:

In my experience, anyone who studies accountancy at uni fails to become an accountant anyway. The degree is no preperation at all to qualify fully or actually work

My accounts are already being seen to thanks.

always best to consider contingencies. A bit of creative off-balance sheet accounting perhaps. I've got some wonderful financial instruments. Check out my fixed assets - they've hardly depreciated etc etc etc.

Fair enough, I just find it highly amusing that something that runs along a track needs sat nav.

No CA I know ever studied it at Uni. Who sets out to want to be an accountant? :nono:

I did the oh-so sexy Theoretical Physics at Uni. Blimey - I was having to beat the girls off with a shitty stick.

Are you good with your fingers from all the counting you do all day? This is an important factor.
 




























I have the utmost respect for chartered accountants. I think they rock.

and have some shallow personalities, the only thing they make love to, is their Oxford P2 calculator..........................

pilots have on board equipment to land in fog , train drivers have only there knowledge of the route and there wits and instinct to find stations , red signals etc etc, hats off to them .:falmer:

And not forgetting a signalman who steers the train for them!

Plastic surgeons love them. Fantastic opportunity to make money out of women with low self confidence surrounded by critical men.

Last time I inspected your figures, your assets only became liquid once I had injected some fresh capital into them.

Hilarious. Women always blame men for their self image problems. Look at the magazines you lot read. All edited by women who critisize other womwn, circle of shame and all that Heat bollocks.

All the fashion mags are full of skinny WOMEN. Mostly edited by WOMEN . You are the ones who constantly compare themselves to each other and complain that this is wobbly or that is saggy.

Men may like to look at fit womwn but no dif to women fawning over brad Pitt et al.

The whole idea of skinny, supermodel like women as an ideal is invented and perpertrated by women so don't go blaming us men folk 'cos you lot aren't happy with yourselves.

Women get upset because you are weak of spirit.
