I can only assume those with dosh have some sort of private income.<BR/><BR/>I'd really like the chance to do bugger all but as an academic without a permanent position who does sessional and contract work, it definitely doesn't apply!

We have to buy our own cars, computers and office equipment and pay all the heating and lighting costs for our offices (less 20% of 25%).<BR/><BR/>Even if you think we do bugger all to earn it there are plenty of people out there who earn a lot more for doing bugger all - academics, scientists, writers, artists, performers, politicians and dead celebrity chavs, for example.MadPriesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120376342802143188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020389.post-65886202697253991252009-03-31T11:22:00.000+01:002009-03-31T11:22:00.000+01:00:)I always do wonder about these vicars who seem t...:)<BR/><BR/>I always do wonder about these vicars who seem to have pots of money.
