Respect Your Lover's Dignity
6/23/2009 7:45:53 AM
Mayor of London Boris Johnson suffered a blow yesterday when his deputy Ian Clement resigned after he was revealed as having claimed dinners with his lover on official expenses.
I reckon it was the lover who told auditors of Clement's misdemeanour.
Rule one in my Ageing Roue's Guide states very clearly: When playing away from home; never claim your lover as a business expense, it's an affront to their dignity.
The bok mentioned here is a fiction of course but you can invest in The Best Of Boggart Blog: Vol 1 from Greenteth Multi Media (available in trade paperback or as a download (PDF)
