   Have never seen the word "clunge" before.

   Just in case this isn't allowed in Europe (to be seen, that is).

   And they can't count, there's 13 photos in their top ten - bit of a worry for a leading accountancy firm.

   To be fair, this is the 'shortlist for the top ten', Al. Basic numeracy being an important part of being an accountant, as well as 'being a bit of a saddo and lusting after women I will clearly never score with'.

   To add to the amusement:

   - Stephen Tully, who seems to have started all this, lists 'Asset Management Auditing' as one of his "Specialties"

   - PWC was named as 'the most popular graduate recruiter 2010', and one of the Top 10 Workplaces in Ireland in 2009. Yessir, no-one does sexual harrassment like we does sexual harrassment.

   There was a similar episode a few years back, when a young lady's appreciative email for the taste of a colleague's 'gentleman's juice' was forwarded all over the company and then all over the world.

   Rikkor - 'clunge' is a delightful new slang word for women, popularised by the comedy show 'The Inbetweeners'.

   I can't understand the fuss myself. Why else do women go to work except to meet employed men?

    I assume the person who leaked the email was the one about which was said 'have reservations about the last one getting in'. I also assume that being a 'senior associate' at PwC means you can waste your time compiling lists of top tens, a good use of client time.

    Stephen Tully's next list should be 'the top ten people who might employ me now'. It will definitely be a short list.

    Although his direct dial telephone number is on the email, I wouldn't imagine he is taking calls just at the moment.

    PWC have now changed their email disclaimer:

    The Information contained in this E-Mail and any subsequent correspondence is private and is intended solely for the intended recipient(s).

    The inclusion of an employee, male or female, on any enclosed list of attractiveness does not imply that PriceWaterHouseCoopers has independently verified said level of hotness.

    Similarly, exclusion from any list, original or amended, should not be taken to imply the inverse, ie that the employee is contemporaneously included on the 'Top Ten Munters' list.

    For those other than the recipient any disclosure, copying, distribution, or any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance on such information is prohibited, except for the purposes of a) amusing, or b) humiliating your colleagues.

    The women who are not on the list are really quite depressed at their lack of attractiveness. Although they are easier to pull. You're almost doing them a favour.

    It's one of the best places to work in Ireland beacuse it's one of the few that doesn't involved cutting peat into blocks for fuel.
