Thank you for backing up the "not boring" thing. Some of us have amazingly fertile imaginations.

On the terminology thing some of you may have heard of 'window dressing '...and think it refers to manipulating the balance sheet - wrong - that's all about how to put one's sheer white shirt and little blue skirt suit and heels on to best effect while backlit.....

Dare I ask what sort of company you work for????

we make things that people buy on the internet and then insert them at home alone.

more info than that would need to be oral.

Have been accused of window dressing in my time, but have no re-collection of ever wearing such an attire!

Back to topic,

Am surprised that no-one has voted for teachers yet as can think of several with teaching background from the Dundee area that are very, very good. Perhaps the problem is that when at the dancing you don't know everybody's profession and thus you are unable to make such a correlation.

sorry, should have been more explicit ( as if ) I know it's a long time since you did your training and it will have slipped your mind by now -but you're getting confused - remember when they split the girlaccountants up from the boyaccountants and they taught us the windowdressing and taught YOU the windowUNdressing - at least they did in CIMA - did you go to the wrong class??or was it different in woosy CA world????

I sneaked it out of a CA's inside pocket - quite good at slight of hand

[Dave Hancock]

Ahhh, that's where it went

"Quite good at slight of hand" - so is Paul Daniels, but what tricks do YOU have up your sleeves

rarely wearing sleeves so I like to hide my tricks a bit more front and centre really, and they're far better seen than described really.

If they're better seen than described than why hide them??

The accountant thing may be a bit tongue in cheek but I think there may be some truth behind it.

Maybe it's that accountants are good with handling figures. Isn't that what they do on the dance floor too!. :sorry

What about us scientists?

Laura, Lisa and I are all scientists - there must be more of us out there. Some of us can be interesting at times too...

So you've got the 'scientists are attractive brunettes' covered at least - Im sure that goes for male scientists too

Vampire Slayers are walking away with this one - mind you I would have 'staked' a few pounds on them....

If they get one in front of them (or behind come to that) that's worth handling then they certainly don't like to miss golden opportunities, so you're probably right there Jon

Does that mean you're into bacteria as well as Quantum Physics

But seriously people, In my limited experience I have found that modern jive seems to attract alot of what I would call professional career people, Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Medical people, I.T specialists, teachers etc. I find that there are very few people in manual jobs like little old me and most people I meet at work think I'm a very unlikely dancer.
Maybe it has something to do with patterns of stress in diferent jobs and the actual hours of work people keep.
The Vampire Slayers obviously have the hours of darkness in their favour.

I was lucky enough to dance with Gus a few months ago (apparently he's an accountant) and he was brilliant.

Also I've just been to the Anzac Ball and I saw Nigel for the first time and he was incredible. I was told he is an accountant as well.

This may just be co-incidence. Does anyone else have any theories?

Well Sarah, you're obviously very lucky as both Gus and Nigel are great dancers. Indeed, as has been said many times on this forum , Nigel is ( IMHO) one of the best dancers in the country and along with Viktor is one of my heroes.

The women around Manchester have the good fortune of having Gus around to dance with whenever they want although now he is in employment he has a little less time than he did to get round the clubs.

Does this make accountants the 'best' ????
