A financial headache for promoters of golf tournaments, hospitality at golf tournaments, etc, as Eldrick Tont Woods pulls out of the game in disgrace because of all those women. You'd think people would have suspected something when he adopted the name "Tiger." Or perhaps one of the girls called him Tiger (the one in the picture perhaps) and he started answering to it as a matter of course. Seemingly there are some photos of him sporting with one of the lasses (we are very Scotch on this blog) and an injunction has been taken out forbidding publication of the photos, and even forbidding mention of the injunction (oops). Moneybox Man has no fear. He has a hidey hole in the Highlands, and the girls on the Baillie Gifford Asset Management Equity Investment team will smuggle shortbread to him, and eventually spirit him to Skye.
Dear Moneybox Man,
ReplyDeleteYour fearless attitude to the dark and varied threats posed by heavy duty injunctions is only to be applauded - but what would become of Mrs Moneybox Man should you be, of necessity, spirited away to Skye (and from there, to France?)?

PS. I have heard it said in the coffee houses and salons of London that 'Gross is Good and Net is Not'. Can you confirm this?
Mrs Moneybox Man would have to take the Moneybox yacht and slip out of harbour in the dead of night, and make her way by starlight through the Irish Sea to North Uist, and renezvous with Moneybox Man on the third night of the waxing moon by the fourth lobster pot from the lighthouse.
ReplyDelete5% of gross profits is 5% of gross profits, and you cannot be cheated, but 50% of net profits is nothing, because the rascals will make sure that their expenses and fees and performance bonuses swallow up all the money leaving a net profit of nil to be shared out. If someone offers net instead of gross you must laugh in their face.
