Becky if you want ideas to improve AW getting rid of this stuff would be helpful and putting in something far more relevant

HMRC T-100
Didn't Arnold Swarzenegger do a film about a VATman...
Terminator: Judgement Day...
"I'll Be Back"
Becky had nothing to do with it
Thank you for your feedback, Carnmores, but any blame for regurgitating old content should be laid at my door.
This article was prompted by the previous Any Answers item on how accountants are portrayed in the movies, which proved very popular. That encouraged me to go back and look for the original 2001 article, which I found in a database dump. Rather than just posting it, I asked members of the Accounting humour and fun group first and the universal response was to go for it.
One member said Born Dull?!" was the reason they joined AccountingWEB in the first place.
We try and provide a relevant and professional service, but after a long week on the spreadsheets and tax returns, it seems other members quite enjoy a bit of light relief.
Unless there is a big backlash (post below if you would like to support Carnmore's complaint), we plan to run more of these sorts of items in future. All I can suggest is that you make a point of ignoring any items with "Born Dull?!" in the headline.
Have a good weekend.
The man who looks like my dad from 20 years ago is right
If you don't want to read light hearted things just don't come into these topics.
lol thats it entirely
i am very much in favour of light heartedness
surely Becky must be indirectly responsible somehow ;-)
Double Entry ...
... sounds more like a porn film!
This is the greatest accountant film ever, only seen it once, waiting in vain hope for it to be shown again:

You've missed the best of the lot out
What about the recent (2010/11) comedy action film about the Forensic Accoutant that worked for the Police Force that was more Naked Gun than Top Gun. We saw it recently and I think it was called The Other Guys. Very very funny. I'd definitely reccommend it.
