I was surprised to see i featured in the new AAT magazine under the 'forum' section. Spotted a few other regulars in the article also. I think we deserve an AAT mug for our contributions?!:thumbup:

The new AAT magazine (paper copy) looks good. Smaller than before so they save on paper. It's just like what we've been taught on PEV. They've applied value engineering to the magazine, reducing it's size but the quality of the content remains high. Very well thought.0

OOOh, you've been paying attention in class Jay!!!!
On a serious note though, I agree that the new magazine looks great, and changing to Bi-Monthly is a really good idea.
Do you think we might get in the next edition if we say loads of nice things??0 -
Quite possibly! Only have to wait two weeks to find out :laugh:OOOh, you've been paying attention in class Jay!!!!

I agree though the new magazine is good. It's not boring and has some interesting and relevent articles in it that i actually enjoy reading!

Sorry, doesn't bi monthly mean every 2 months?0 -
No, it means every 2 weeks!!0

2 months - the magazine says July/August. They'd do well to increase the size and frequency of the magazines.
Oh and Bicentennial man was about a 200 year old robot...

Can't you have too much of a good thing? At least by only producing 6 magazines a year, they can find more to go in them and (in theory) create a better publication.
That said, the new issue only has 66 pages compared to 42 in the last - perhaps they are running out of items to put in it as well?0 -
it says it on the mag it is now bi monthly we now get one every two months0

Just searched this:
"Q.Does bi monthly mean every two months or twice a month? A.I'm afraid it means both! But in the publishing industry, it is used fairly consistently to mean 'every two months'. The same ambiguity affects biweekly and biyearly. If you want to be absolutely clear, use a phrase such as 'twice a week' or 'every two years'."
So everyone is right, but half of us are wrong also! 0 -
Can anyone tell me what was in the magazine about the forums? Im afraid my little baby decided to rip it all up and try to eat it.....! So it was hardly readable and needed a new home in the wheelie bin :-(0

I had the wittiest of them all the last time they were printed - on a thread dedicated to the AAT Valentine song, I asked if it was available as a ringtone yet!:blushing:
Anyway Alice, your comment wasn't witty, it was informative and useful - that should demand an even higher royalty!0 -

Hourly rate is hard to define when they are just selecting quotes - how about a charge per character? That way you get twice as much money w r i t i n g l i k e t h i s!0 -

What an excellent suggestion, do you charge for your advice?

What a daft question, of course I charge! I'll give you a choice of fee structure though:
First, you could pay £1 for my first 25 words, £2 for the next 25, £3 for the next 25 and so on. (I estimate you owe around £6 to date)
Or, you can pay £0.01 for the first 35, £0.02 for the next 35, £0.04 the next 35 and so on, doubling each time. So far you only owe me 3p.
Which do you choose?0 -

Should we really be joking about such things?!
We accountants don't have time for friends - work, study, cook and sleep is the only routine we have. (Atleast that's what the voices in my head say...)0
