    Cheeky expenses

    What's the cheekiest expense you have put through the books?

    Thinking of buying an iPod Touch as an 'external hard drive' but not sure if this is too cheeky.

        I was thinking more of young busty females covered in talk! Mmm! slippy slidy.

        But yes you're right

          While serving as a rowing club treasurer, I got a specialist cleaner to remove the port stains from my stripey blazer and filed the bill under "equipment maintenance".

          In the same capacity, I vaguely recall once buying a large bag of Woolworth's Pick & Mix, in order to help poach a couple of substitutes into our women's VIII on a race day. If so, I'm pretty sure I'd have expensed that too.

              I wouldn't if I were you.

              The penalties are pretty stiff.

              PS I have reported this to the drug squad, and you are now under surveillance

                I couldn't be bothered to actually claim it as an expense on my own company since it was only about £10, but I did recently buy a video-game for legitimate business reasons. It was one I worked on and didn't have a copy of; for a potential project I'm trying to win I needed to show videos of stuff I'd worked on.
