You make it sound like a game of Cluedo. (or Clue for you Yanks)

It's true. I wasn't always an accountant. I originally worked as a trainee site engineer (one of the people that make sure things are built where the plans say they should be) but the bottom dropped out of the building market.

There was a temporary barrier at the edge of a big hole (uprights with planks nailed roughly across them) and the time had come to take it down (so the hole could be enlarged). Me and my trusty hammer set to knocking planks off uprights when I come to one that was really firmly fixed. Bracing myself for better leverage I give it a good few solid whacks and it comes free. At this point I realise that it was the plank I was bracing myself against. Let's just say flinging my arms around the upright (thus hitting myself with the hammer held in one hand) was better than falling into a hole full of pointy steel reinforcing bars.

You don't fool us. It was a deliberate ploy to stop her talking to you wasn't it?

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
