So, did anyone take advantage of the "photo ops"? Will we see pictures?

As we all *know*, my own web skills are strictly toilet, but having said
that, I stashed my stuff at http://www.londonelegance.com/auepeople for our
webmaster to sort out when he returns all tanned and mellow. You can take a
peeky there.
Mike C's stuff is still enroute...
Kind regards,

Modesty obviously caused Garry to omit to mention that the neck
orders are inscribed 'Garry Vass, AUE Best Boinker, 2002'.

Yebbut, was there no dancing? I mean, you keep talking about the minuets. Or
were the premises not "licensed for singing and dancing."?

Only to add as a side-note that the caning the FTSE has taken yesterday and
today is *NOT* related to the mechanics of the financial markets that I
explained on Sunday.
This particular hammering is a result of way severe liquidity problems in
the UK insurance sector, and is generally unrelated to the overall global
flight-to-quality. Although it probably gives little comfort to know that
the FTSE's tailspin last week is unrelated to the FTSE tailspin this week,
it's good to know anyway.
It was offset a bit this morning by a favourable RPI announcement, but the
FTSE's momentary reprieve may run out because Greenspan is on the US
Senate's plat-du-jour this afternoon. Millwall has been hankering for a
chance to blame the whole crash on the Fed since early last week, and now
they might get their opportunity.
Meanwhile, from the Market Oddities Department, UKCoal's intraday is a
vertical line! Going downward... They announced an operations
consolidation closing down the Selby mine. In one fell-swoop BAM say
goodnight, Selby. That's one less town to worry about...
And the pound is soaring! So stand by for the next round of market
manic-panic from the UK exporters!
It's gonna be a hot summer...

I was delighted to hear it suggested that yesterday's rally was an
honest-to-goodness "dead cat bounce".

And if anyone hasn't seen this week's Private Eye, which the debonair
individual in shades is studying so carefully, the speech bubble on the
cover reads "Forget terrorism, I'm going to become an accountant." Very
bad taste, and accountants in their droves have of course been buying
it, but I do wonder how many of them will read the story on the first
inside page which takes a pretty good swipe at them.

Looks remarkably like the cast of last December's Boink, minus a
couple of Amurricans (whose names I shan't divulge). A truly
distinguished group. Only howcum Vass has an authentic AUE polo
shirt and stuck me with a mere T?

Just be sure, Laura, not to take up practice in the U.S. unless you
enjoy prison sentences measured in decades. The House of
Representatives today upped the bidding on the Senate with a bill
plucked out of thin air that will cost the feds a fortune in room
and board for accountants. I have a feeling there's going to be
more than a bit of ex post facto-ing in what happens next. Thank
&deity I'm in a profession known to be honorable and upstanding --
and not subject to these whopping new punishments.

The citation, read with "do [sic] solemnness", clearly indicates that

I think the best representation is Glesca, although it can also be
Glezca.

Which vernacular? Glaswegians tend to the "Glesca" pronunciation.

Either my ears need washing out, or I've been listening to non-
Glaswegians.

Don't imprisoned accountants do anything to earn their keep? It would be
a waste of their talents to have them breaking rocks or making car
number-plates, but are they perhaps put to work auditing tax returns or
something similar?

You can be certain that some of the more talented among them instruct
fellow inmates on ways to perpetuate tax fraud once they're freed.

No.
A vexillum was a standard, not particularly used for signalling.
