    Nope. She is reminding you being greedy by running dodgy investment schemes then screwing your loyal accountancy customers plus your mistress and pregnant wife is not the way to go.

    Incidentally the accountants I personally know seem to have Cojak's attitude to spending money though their cars are slightly younger.

    Funny you say that..

    I heard that in a news item at the end of last year.

    I guess that means the beginning of the end for my solid, trusty 15yo Astra diesel.
    What you trying to say about Cojaks wheels huh??
