"We have no funding for disasters that have not yet happened..."

I often thought that I should have been a weaver of words,someone who danced and sang his way into peoples souls and through my imagination led others into a world of dreams and intoxicating revelry...But auditing offered a much better pension.

"I'm not sure we can get away with asking our suppliers to move from '60 days' until 'when hell freezes over' until we settle their invoices!"

"Managing further cuts to tight budgets is a challenge! So this training will give you a pratical insight into how to 'maximise returns from limited resources'!"

"Ooh, look....it's your turn to prepare Mr Small's tax accounts this year...!"

"… then I found a million cash in my desk drawer. I can't tell you what a boost that was."
