what should I buy?

Ok, the latest software release just went out. Instead of a bonus, I've gotten a "Night on The Town" award, which is basically a hundred bucks I can spend however I like (just need to give them the receipt) and somewhat chincy but better than nothing

So, what should I buy?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

A speciality prostitute would be my choice.

agreed

dont forget to ask for an itemised receipt, your employer can probably claim back the VAT.

This was in the news a little while back...some guy in Holland got issued with a monthly 'sex allowance' ($300, iirc) to help while the headshrinkers worked on his sex addiction. Sadly he couldn't use it because no prostitutes would give him a receipt - they were too worried about providing evidence of taxable income

Yeah, there were issues a few years back when the GST was introduced. The prostitution community were quite happy to be effectively "working for the government", especially in states where it was still illegal

Yep, I reckon working for the government should be illegal all over

Yes, but then we'd end up with people who really hate the government because they're generally useless- oh.

Just imagine some apprenticeship scheme run by the government, full of the braindead and the usually unemployable. Benefits would be stopped because they could always go on the game. I wonder if they could claim sickness when it's their time of the month?

I wish I'd been an employer in the time of YTS.

Haven't we now got the 'New Deal'? A great way to employ people at well below minimum wage.

As far as I'm aware, prostitution is not illegal in the UK. Soliciting on the streets, however, is.
