Bean counter?

That aimed at me?

Retired CEO perhaps. I was never clever enough with numbers to be a bean counter. No good at scoring at a dart board for that matter. I always made sure I had a decent bean counter though. Shareholders count and all that. Don't ask me about NHS bean counting all the same. The more I try the less I understand. That's because I'm not in love with myself in the same way your posts show you to be. If you can explain, no really explain how resource limit and cash limit are complimentary tools, the chancellor will thank you, never mind me.

Out of interest, I can't be a bean counter because I don't have a job. Both the academic chair and the strategic work in healthcare are honorary. I'm obviously too fucking important to be poor.

Of course I'm "fucking important." The distinction between that and being important, whatever that means, is only recognisable by intelligent people. Which is why Keith, his pet worm and you are the only ones bandying it about as if it has currency. I think, though I could be wrong, it started when Keith couldn't understand how people could form their own opinions rather than cut and paste someone else's from a dubious internet site then defy anyone to say differently. He'll go far that lad. {snigger}

Jim seems to have it on the button. Whether it's a brain or just a Cornish pasty keeping their tabs apart is another matter though.
